00:00Hello there and a very good morning to you on this Thursday morning which is blustery, windy for some, a lot of rain around and also some heavy showers.
00:10Low pressure really dominates the situation across the UK. Notice a real squeeze on the isobar because this area is so deep towards the north of the UK
00:18and showers will rattle across the country, merging to form longer spells of rain through Thursday and Friday, particularly towards the north and west.
00:25And then more rain on Saturday, either side a blustery breeze and also those showers which will be heavy with the risk of thunder.
00:34So most places seeing some wet weather through the next few days and a few of you will see some impactful conditions.
00:40Certainly some heavy pulses likely coming in across the northwest of Scotland as we head through the next few hours.
00:46Showers will be fewer across more eastern areas of England as well as Scotland but running in across coastal districts towards the west as well as the south.
00:53And notice a cluster of showers just moving across northern Ireland as well.
00:57So there will be some showers around but really we look towards the northwest where we'll see the strongest winds, coastal gales and those showers merging to form a longer spell of rain.
01:05That centre of the low is just towards the northwest there so these winds here are strong if not gale force.
01:12Now through today the cloud will build and we'll see a scattering of heavy showers.
01:16They'll move across the country quite quickly with that keen breeze.
01:19But these showers could be heavy so problems on the roads, poor visibility if you catch a torrential downpour, the risk of thunder, even some hail.
01:27So through the afternoon you can see where they are.
01:30They're moving from the west towards the east with that more persistent rain towards the far northwest of Scotland.
01:36Temperatures then will feel fresh in the wind 16 or 17 towards the north and probably 18 to 20 further south and southeast even.
01:43So feeling cooler than that with the strength of the wind.
01:45So that's the picture through this afternoon.
01:49Through this evening those showers continue so for rush hour not particularly pleasant if you are driving.
01:54And through the night you can see yet again that rain never too far away from the northwest of Scotland.
02:00And it will nudge in across more northwestern areas of the mainland as we head through into Friday morning again with coastal gales.
02:07Showers continue across northern western and southern facing coasts inland some clearer skies.
02:13But through Friday the clouds will build and we'll see a scattering of heavy showers.
02:17And again they'll track across the country with a little sunshine in between.
02:21Temperatures then still struggling, still feeling cool because of the wind coming in probably the mid to high teens at the very best.
02:29So that's the picture on Friday.
02:31Into the weekend we are looking at more rain or showers and again stronger winds.
02:37So through Friday evening and overnight those showers continue waning a little bit inland.
02:42But then it's rain or showers on Saturday.
02:44Temperatures around the mid teens and more unsettled weather coming our way on Sunday.
02:49For more details of that check out our 10 day trend.
02:52It's on YouTube and this week it's with honour.
