00:00Hi there. Following a clear start to the night, we're going to see clouds thicken from the west and outbreaks of rain move in by dawn.

00:09Many places will see a spot or two of rain, if not more overnight, with areas of cloud moving in from the west.

00:17But it will always be drier towards the east and the south, with this initial bout of rain moving through southern parts,

00:25and then the rain more focused across northwestern districts by the start of Friday.

00:30With all the cloud and the breeze picking up, temperatures typically 12 to 14 Celsius by dawn.

00:36There will be some sunshine first thing, especially through the south and central parts of England.

00:41And then really the focus later in the morning is across the Midlands, East Anglia and the southeast for any brighter weather.

00:47And then really that sets the theme for the rest of Friday.

00:49We've got the thicker clouds remaining towards the northwest, with the rain turning heavier and more persistent across much of Scotland,

00:56Northern Ireland, North Wales, northwest England, especially over northwestern hills.

01:00Further south, where we get some sunshine coming through, it's going to be relatively warm.

01:0426, 27, even 28 Celsius in some of the sunnier and warmer spots.

01:08We've got this southwesterly airflow bringing an increase in the humidity once again,

01:13but also an increase in the cloud and those outbreaks of rain, which will be on and off,

01:17but most persistent and heaviest across the hills of western Scotland.

01:22It'll also turn increasingly windy on Friday night and into Saturday,

01:26with the risk of gales around some exposed coasts of northern and northwestern Scotland.

01:31A muggy night to come then, with that humid air becoming widespread by Saturday morning.

01:36And we start Saturday, we start the weekend with extensive cloud.

01:41It'll be low cloud, it'll be covering the hills and coasts in the west and southwest.

01:46But as the weather front responsible for the rain dips south and runs into high pressure, it will tend to weaken.

01:52And so the rain generally fizzling away through Saturday, brighter skies returning to the far north,

01:57but also the south as high pressure builds in.

02:00And that high pressure will mark the start of another significant hot spell.

02:06Again, relatively short-lived, just a few days, but peaking most likely on Monday,

02:11with the southeast likely to see temperatures reaching 32, 33 Celsius, a smaller chance of even higher than that.

02:18And that heat extending across many parts of the country, with above-average temperatures widely,

02:24but the 30s of Celsius mostly confined to the southeast.

02:28Meanwhile, this frontal system brings outbreaks of rain and thicker cloud to the northwest of Scotland during Monday.

02:35That then sweeps through during Tuesday and Wednesday, bringing a return to lower temperatures by the middle of next week.

02:41We'll keep you updated, as always, through our YouTube channel.

02:44Bye-bye.
