00:00Hello there, good afternoon. It's set to be one of those days where there'll be sunshine

00:04and all of a sudden you'll be caught out by a heavy downpour. Changeable is a good way

00:09to describe it. Yes, it's going to be another day of sunny spells and showers. Showers most

00:14frequent across western areas, particularly across southern parts of Wales, where we have

00:18issued a localised yellow warning for rain. So do take care if you're travelling, there's

00:22likely to be spray on the roads, particularly through this morning. But nevertheless, low

00:26pressure situated the northwest is going to sweep in plenty of showers, these likely

00:30turning heavy if not thundery at times. The best of the brightness is probably going to

00:34be across the far east and southeast, but even here you could still catch a shower or two.

00:40Temperatures around about average for the time of year. Highs reaching around 22 to 23 degrees

00:44Celsius across the southeast. For something a little fresher across the north, temperatures

00:49in the mid to high teens here. Now it's set to be quite a breezy day and this will continue

00:54through the overnight period. Still plenty of showers feeding through, but we really do

00:58need to keep all eyes across southern counties. We've got this heavy band of rain skirting

01:03its way eastwards through the overnight period. Once again, this is going to turn quite heavy

01:07and thundery. It may even be enough to wake you up during the middle of the night. But it

01:10is going to sit around the south and southeastern portion of the country by the early hours of

01:14the morning. So quite a wet start here. Elsewhere, plenty of showers once again feeding through,

01:18but turning a little dry across central and eastern areas. And under any clear skies,

01:23it will feel a little cooler and fresher to start the day on Friday.

01:27So still a chance of some heavy downpours across the southeast. Sussex and Kent and eventually

01:31pushing up into parts of East Anglia. Once again, heavy, possibly thundery before this system

01:36eventually clears its way into the North Sea. And it's going to be another day of showery outbreaks.

01:42Once again, particularly in the west, in the northwest, where we could see some heavy downpours,

01:46but there should be some bright and sunny interludes in between. Temperatures fairly similar. Highs

01:51reaching around 21 to 22 degrees Celsius and still always that little bit fresher across the far

01:56north. Now, low pressure remains the dominant feature for our weather. A slight ridge of high

02:01pressure means a bright start Saturday morning, but soon being replaced by another system pushing

02:06its way in from the west, bringing widespread outbreaks of rain, possibly heavy and thundery once

02:10again. And also some quite blustery winds, particularly across the far northwest of the country. So do keep

02:16an eye on our YouTube channel for any latest weather updates. And you can catch Alex later with the full

02:22details of this weekend's weather.
