00:00Hello there, welcome to your latest Met Office forecast and the weekend is going to be dominated by low pressure.
00:07Looking at the bigger picture, we can see a large area of low pressure sat to the northwest of the UK.
00:12Weather front's pushing its way eastwards, strong blustery showers following on behind.
00:16You can see the ice bars closely packed together there, indicating some brisk winds as well,
00:21particularly in the west and lots of showers feeding in right through into the beginning of next week.
00:27So for this afternoon, a bit of a west-east split out there, cloudy in western areas with outbreaks of rain.
00:33This could be heavy at times over the higher ground.
00:35Dryest and brightest across eastern areas, particularly eastern England, northeast Scotland, there'll be some glimmers of sunshine here.
00:42And then some brighter skies starting to push into Northern Ireland later on this afternoon.
00:46For everyone, quite a blustery afternoon, particularly in the west.
00:49Widely, we could see gusts of 25, 30 miles an hour.
00:52But around western coast, we could see gusts close to gale force, around 45 miles an hour, perhaps a little stronger in one or two spots.
01:00And so under the cloud and the outbreaks of rain, it will be quite cool here.
01:03Temperatures around 18 to 21 Celsius.
01:06We could see around 20 to 30 millimetres or so by the end of the day in the west.
01:12In the sunshine here, 22, 23 Celsius possible across eastern England, reaching around 20 Celsius across northeast Scotland.
01:18So feeling pleasant where you do manage to hold on to some brightness and dry weather.
01:24But eventually the rain pushes eastwards through the rest of the UK this evening time.
01:28But generally clearing in the early hours and then a blustery night to come.
01:33A mixture of clear spells and scattered showers.
01:35Showers most frequent in the west, so lots of areas will stay dry with clear skies.
01:40But it remains quite breezy and that will keep temperatures up for most of us in double figures, perhaps touching single figures in the countryside.
01:47So Sunday morning gets off to a bright start for many of us.
01:51There will be plenty of sunny spells, but showers, particularly in the west and along the south coast of England as well from the word go.
01:57And as we move through the day, the showers become a bit more widespread.
02:00One or two of them will be on the heavy side at times.
02:02Some rumbles of thunder, some blustery winds as well.
02:05A more organised area of rain pushing eastwards across Northern Ireland into western Scotland as we move through the day.
02:11And widely windy.
02:12If anything, the winds are a little stronger on Sunday.
02:14We could see gusts of 50 to 60 miles an hour stretching up from the Isle of Man across eastern coast of Northern Ireland into western Scotland as well.
02:23So if you are travelling, it is worth sort of staying up to date with the latest forecast.
02:27And the showers passing through, giving some local disruption as well.
02:31But if you manage to avoid the showers and you stay in the sunshine, it will be fairly pleasant.
02:36Temperature is near average.
02:37The high teens to low 20s, again 22, 23 Celsius as a top temperature across southeast England.
02:44And further showers will continue to end the day on Sunday.
02:47Longer spells of rain as we get closer to this area of low pressure across Northern Ireland, western parts of Scotland.
02:53The showers becoming frequent across Wales as well.
02:56Continued risk of some hail and thunder in those showers as well.
03:00Generally dry the further south and east you go.
03:02And looking at the beginning of September, early next week, we see unsettled weather continuing.
03:08Further rain in places, some heavy showers, some brisk winds and temperatures overall will be around average for the time of year.
03:15So if you're in the rain and against the wind, it will feel rather cool.
03:18But fairly pleasant to start September in any sunnier breaks.
