00:00Hello there, good morning. After all the sunshine across central and southern parts, a change

00:05is on its way as we head towards the weekend. But the unsettled picture has already arrived

00:10across parts of Scotland. Some outbreaks of persistent and at times heavy rain, particularly

00:14across western Scotland, where we do have a yellow warning in force for heavy rain.

00:19And it's likely to turn quite blustery too as this system skirts its way eastwards, eventually

00:23pushing into northern Ireland, northwestern parts of England and Wales. It's going to

00:28start to turn quite damp as we head into the afternoon. And not only this, but it's also

00:32going to turn rather blustery, particularly around exposed coasts. But to the south of

00:37this, across much of England and Wales, it is going to be another dry and bright end to the

00:41day. Plenty of sunny spells and feeling warm in the sunshine. Highs of around 26, possibly

00:4627 degrees Celsius. Now it's really into Friday evening where we'll begin to see that change.

00:53The clouds, the rain starting to sink its way southeastwards across the rest of England.

00:58And Wales, which means many of us are going to be waking up to quite a wet start for the

01:02beginning of the weekend. The rain still persistent across western parts of Scotland. That rain warning

01:08continuing through much of Saturday. And the difference is it's not going to feel fresher

01:13any longer. We're going to see a return of that mild and muggy feel to the air. Many towns

01:18and cities across England and Wales, not really pushing much past 15 to 16 degrees Celsius by

01:23the time we reach the morning. So a mild, if not quite warm start to the day. And the

01:29cloud and the rain is set to continue, particularly across the west where it is likely to be the

01:34most persistent across any western hills. But to the east of those hills, that's where

01:38you're likely to see some brighter spells, particularly across eastern parts of Yorkshire,

01:43parts of Lancashire and across parts of East Anglia too. You might start to see some brightness

01:48as we head into the afternoon, but it is likely to be quite cloudy all through the day and

01:54still that muggy feel to the air. Highs reaching around 24 degrees Celsius, so still starting

01:59to feel a little bit sticky.

02:02And then for the rest of the weekend. Yes, we have still got further showers on the cards.

02:08We'll see a northwesterly flow though, starting to bring that slightly fresher feel to the air

02:12on Sunday. But still, across parts of the south and south west, it remains to be quite warm

02:17and muggy. But there should be more chance of seeing some brighter spells for the second

02:22half of the weekend. But if you want more details on this weekend's weather, you can catch Aidan
