00:00Hello there, welcome to your Wednesday evening weather update from the Met Office.
00:05High pressure brings settled conditions through the next few days and into the weekend.
00:11It feels rather cool by night and certainly on this eastern side yet again on Thursday
00:15with an onshore breeze which will be brisk at times.
00:19But into the weekend we lose that onshore component and we gain some warmth across eastern
00:25counties and certainly generally speaking for the weekend temperatures will be slightly
00:28higher than what we've seen today.
00:31Winds remain fairly light we are chasing clouds in fact on Saturday there's a chance of one
00:35or two showers towards the west.
00:39Into Sunday not a lot of change yet again it's a mix of clouds as well as some sunny spells
00:43coming through.
00:44For the time being that brisk breeze continues across the north as well as the east of Scotland
00:50as well as England.
00:51Watch out for some showers across Shetland clipping Orkney.
00:54Elsewhere it's a dry night.
00:56The cloud rolling in though across the central belt of Scotland towards more southern areas
01:00in the far north of England.
01:02We could see patches of cloud elsewhere across eastern counties as well as Northern Ireland
01:06in the north there seeing more on the way of clouds keeping temperatures around 12 degrees
01:09Celsius.
01:10But in the glens of Scotland temperatures dipping down to mid single figures if not a little bit
01:14lower than that.
01:15So it's a chilly start to the day come Thursday morning.
01:18But for most it will be bright and dry with some sunshine.
01:22Notice this stubborn area of cloud across the central out southern parts of Scotland and
01:26over the southern uplands expect one or two spots of drizzle where the clouds thick enough.
01:30At the same time the cloud will overturn across eastern counties but along the coast itself
01:34particularly for England it's going to feel a bit cool with that breeze coming in from
01:39the north sea.
01:40But help with some sunshine not too bad and pleasantly warm elsewhere with some sunny spells.
01:45The cloud comes and goes across Northern Ireland but bright at times and some sunshine
01:49across central parts of Scotland.
01:51Here are your temperatures through tomorrow afternoon.
01:5421 for Northern Ireland, 19 across the central belt of Scotland.
01:58For England and Wales 19 in the north, 22 or 23 further south and southeast.
02:04Now through Thursday evening and overnight yet again there will be some clearer skies.
02:08Notice more cloud just lurking across the north and the north west of Scotland.
02:12A little more cloud just drifts across the sky across England and Wales.
02:16So yet again on Friday there will be a mix of sunshine and cloud.
02:20It could build through the middle part of the day.
02:22A small chance of a fleeting very light shower most places dry.
02:26A lighter breeze across the eastern side of England as well as Scotland.
02:30And with that sunshine temperatures probably 19 to 24 degrees Celsius.
02:35But through the weekend temperatures will be slightly higher certainly for the towns and
02:38cities creeping into the low 20s helped with some brighter skies.
02:44High pressure will remain in charge and in fact through Friday night again a little bit dampness
02:50in the air across the western side of Scotland.
02:53This is a very weak system here bringing more cloud and it could run down towards Wales through
02:59Saturday morning where it could be a bit of a cloudier start.
03:02It will break out into showers through the afternoon.
03:05There will be scattered many areas yet again will have a dry day with broken cloud and some sunshine.
03:10But one or two showers could crop up across the highlands of Scotland.
03:14Here's your outlook then through Saturday afternoon and those temperatures 20 to 21 degrees Celsius
03:20towards the south east.
03:21A similar situation into Sunday.
03:23I'll see you later.
03:24I'll see you later.
03:25I'll see you later.
