00:00Hello there and a very good morning to you on this Wednesday morning which is wet for some, bright for others, but much milder than last night if you are stepping out first thing.
00:10Let me take you through the bigger picture. Low pressure firmly in charge. It's sitting towards the northwest of the UK with bands of showery rain extending from the west.
00:19Some of this rain through today will be heavy. A similar situation tomorrow, particularly for the northwest of Scotland where we'll see gales and any showers will rattle across the country with a little sunshine in between.
00:29In fact, that's how we see Friday as well. Low pressure sits towards the north on Friday with further systems coming in for the weekend.
00:37For the time being, if you are stepping out, notice this keen breeze but some brighter skies across the northeast of Scotland.
00:43Showery rain fairly sporadic across the rest of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Northern England, Central and Eastern areas of England.
00:49For Wales, yes, some showers likely and more persistent bands of showery rain just arriving across the southwest.
00:54It's a breezy day wherever you are. Not a lot of sunshine around, but we could see some brighter skies through the afternoon in between those showers.
01:03Through the morning, though, we watch as this first band of showering continues its passage towards the northeast of Scotland.
01:09Some brighter weather in between before a more persistent band of showery rain arrives and pushes in across Northern Ireland, Western Scotland, Wales, Central and Southern England.
01:18Yet again, some heavy downpours are likely with the risk of thunder.
01:22Now, later on, as we see heavy showers towards the east, which will be fairly scattered, a band of heavy and squally rain just pushes across Northern Ireland.
01:31It's fairly narrow, but you will be affected down towards Wales as well as the west country.
01:36Temperatures then through the afternoon, coming in 20 at the very best across eastern counties.
01:40Generally speaking, it will be the mid-teens, feeling fresh in that wind.
01:44So that's the picture through this afternoon. Through evening time, we continue as this band of squally rain, heavy rain at that, slowly moves towards Scotland, clears eastern counties of England.
01:57It will return to Western Scotland through into Thursday, so some high rainfall totals here with gales likely towards the northwest.
02:05Into Thursday, further showers, first of all, across the west as well as the south, but they will develop inland with some sunshine as well.
02:12That wind will be a feature of the weather, particularly across the west, and that showery rain, that heavy rain does extend down towards Northern Ireland for a time.
02:20But the highest rainfall totals will be across northern and northwestern areas of Scotland and watch out for some high waves.
02:26Temperatures here, 14 or 15 degrees Celsius and fresh in the wind elsewhere, 16 to 19 at the very best.
02:34So that's Thursday afternoon. As we head through Thursday evening and overnight, those showers continue with a scattering of showers and a blustery breeze on Friday.
02:44Again, temperatures will struggle, 16 to 19 degrees Celsius, a little sunshine in between those heavy downpours.
02:52I'll see you later.
