00:00Hi there. High pressure has built back in following some thundery downpours on Thursday

00:05across eastern Scotland. That means most places heading into the weekend dry but not entirely

00:11clear because we do have an area of low cloud that is across the North Sea and spreading

00:17inland overnight and that's going to become extensive across the Midlands, eastern England

00:21in as far as the Pennines for example, Scottish mountains, some patches across the south coast,

00:27Northern Ireland as well. So yeah, cloudy night for many but not for all western areas more likely to

00:33see those clear spells. Whether you've got the clear skies or the cloud, temperatures generally

00:37holding up at 16, 17 in the south, 12 to 14 further north. So similar to previous nights, another

00:43relatively warm night to come. And then mixed fortunes as we begin Saturday. We'll have that

00:48extensive low cloud and don't expect it to lift or break quickly. In fact, it may well hang around

00:55for much of the day across some central and eastern districts. We do have plenty of sunshine

01:00towards the west and that's where the highest temperatures will be with temperatures rising

01:05into the high 20s across parts of say Wales into the southwest of England, low to mid 20s

01:11towards the northwest of the UK. But where we do keep the low cloud for longest, it's more like the

01:17low 20s. I suspect the cloud will break up later in the afternoon and into the evening skies will

01:23continue to clear. And then there's less extensive low cloud towards the east. In fact, a mostly clear

01:28night. Your weather app might get the coverage of the low cloud wrong. So don't rely on it too much to tell

01:35when the skies will clear. It is notoriously difficult for weather models to model this sort of thin, low

01:43layer of cloud. But it is looking reasonably likely that overnight most places will become clear. And by the

01:52start of Sunday, it's clear skies. A little bit cooler out there, I think, by Sunday morning. Still

01:57some low cloud for the north of Scotland, perhaps a few patches elsewhere. But on the whole, high

02:02pressure still in charge on Sunday, still bringing settled weather. Around the periphery of the high,

02:07we do have strong winds, not only on Sunday, but also on Saturday. Worth mentioning, the winds

02:13around the southwest of England will be particularly gusty around say Dartmoor, just to the west of

02:17Dartmoor. The potential for 50 miles an hour wind gusts at times through the weekend. So yeah,

02:23despite the sunshine, fairly blustery in the southwest. And then we do also have some of

02:29this low cloud lingering around the North Sea. But as you can see, it's a sunnier picture on the

02:33whole on Sunday. It's dry as well. And temperatures where we get the best of any sunshine, reaching the

02:38high 20s, perhaps an odd 30 Celsius. So we get enough sunshine out of the breeze. But yeah, it's another

02:44very warm day across the United Kingdom. And then heading into next week, it eventually

02:51turns more changeable. But I suspect it will be showers rather than longer spells of rain

02:56and wind. And those showers initially in the southwest at the start of next week, moving

03:01northeastwards through to the middle of the week.
