00:00Hello and a very good afternoon to you. It's a return to summer sunshine for much of the UK,

00:05but not everyone is seeing sunshine through today. So across the northern half of the UK,

00:10we've got a series of frontal systems that are pushing into the far northwest of Scotland,

00:14seeing some fairly persistent rain at times through this morning. Elsewhere, there's a few

00:18showers across the south, bright sunshine, but then the southern half of the UK as well,

00:22particularly the southwest, is seeing quite thick cloud through this morning.

00:26But as we head through the rest of the afternoon, so a lot of that cloud is going to start to move

00:30away, and for the bulk of the country, it's going to be a fine and sunny afternoon. Some of those

00:34showers will thin across Northern Ireland, and there still will be a few remaining across parts

00:38of Scotland through this afternoon, and it will be relatively breezy as well. So particularly

00:43down this western coast, there could be strong coastal winds, 30, 40 miles an hour in some of

00:48those exposed spots, and the wind, and the temperatures around 17 to 19 degrees. Best of

00:53the warmth, though, will be across the south-eastern half of the country. Could get up to 26,

00:58maybe even an isolated 27 as we head through the afternoon, and with the winds much lighter

01:02in the south-eastern half of the UK, then it will be feeling really quite pleasant in that sunshine.

01:08Heading through the rest of the evening, we're expecting to see some of that cloud

01:12continue to move away and fragment, so a fairly fine and clear evening for much of the UK,

01:17still holding on to a relative breeze coming in from the west. And then we have this squally

01:21cold front arriving into Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland into the early hours of Saturday.

01:26Now on this, there's going to be strong coastal gales, and that rain could be quite heavy at times

01:32as well into the early hours. Temperatures, it's going to be quite cool, 12 to 13 degrees across

01:38the north with those strong winds. Further south, a touch milder, you could see a few places a little

01:42bit lower in the countryside in those clear spells as well. So Saturday morning, a day of two halves,

01:49plenty of clear sunshine around, but this frontal system slowly, steadily making its way southeast,

01:54replaced with blustery showers across the northern half of Scotland. It will start to fragment as it

01:59moves south, and turning just to sort of some cloud and some concentration of showers by Saturday

02:04afternoon. But further south, it's going to be another day of plenty of fine weather and sunshine

02:10around for many. It is still going to be relatively breezy, so on the western coast you might still

02:15see a little bit of a breeze there. But in the shelter and in some warmth on Saturday in that

02:20southeast, we're going to be seeing some warmer temperatures again, perhaps could even see up to

02:2326 degrees again on Saturday. Notably cooler feel though across the north, northwest Scotland at best

02:29still holding on to those teens, and it's still going to have a quite brisk breeze coming in from the

02:34west as well, with a scattering of showers in the mix as well. Heading through the rest of Saturday

02:40evening then, so the showery theme remains for the northern half of Scotland, but elsewhere lots of dry spells

02:45developing and that wind slowly starting to ease a touch, and we'll see some clearer spells overnight

02:51heading in towards Saturday morning. Winds, we are expecting to see warmer temperatures on Sunday

02:58and into next week, so if you're interested in the heat, please do have a look at our more detailed
