00:00Hello, how many showers did you catch today? Well if you missed them, don't worry there's

00:04plenty more to come through this evening and overnight. Particularly once again across

00:09western areas, plenty of showers moving through here. These still could be heavy with some

00:13hail and thunder through the overnight period. Then a longer spell of showery outbreaks just

00:18starting to push into northern parts of England, northern parts of Wales and southern Scotland

00:22through the early hours of Saturday. Elsewhere we'll see a mix of cloud and some clear skies

00:27but even here we could see some showers still by the time you reach Saturday morning. But

00:31with more cloud around, temperatures won't drop quite as low, lows reaching around 8 to

00:359 degrees Celsius. For the first half of the weekend, it's set to be another day of sunshine

00:42and showers. Fairly similar weather to what we've had over the last couple of days. Persistent

00:46outbreaks of rain eventually clearing its way across northeastern parts of Scotland. Still

00:50many western areas catching the showers. The best of the brightness will be across central

00:54areas of England, parts of the east and southeast. But even here we can't rule out some showers.

00:59Once again, these could be heavy with some hail and thunder. Quite blustery at times if you

01:03do catch any heavier downpours. Temperatures around about average for the time of year.

01:08Around the mid-teens across northern areas, just pushing into about highs of 19 degrees Celsius

01:13into the southeast. Some showers will cling on for the first part of the evening, particularly

01:19across northern areas. But we'll eventually see a slight ridge of high pressure build which

01:23will ease away any showers. Less cloud around too. Plenty of clear skies by Sunday morning.

01:28So it's going to feel a little cooler and fresher if you're up early through Sunday. More cloud

01:33just starting to push into southwest England, parts of Northern Ireland. Lows once again reaching

01:39around 8 to 9 degrees Celsius. But any rural areas, it's likely to drop around the mid-single

01:44figures. Now, Sunday will start off cool, fresh. Plenty of clear skies. Some sunshine perhaps.

01:51Soon being replaced by some very wet and windy weather. Initially pushing into parts of

01:55southwest England and Wales, Northern Ireland before it spreads its way northeastwards through

01:59the course of the day. Some very heavy and possibly quite persistent outbreaks of rain

02:04through Sunday. And also some quite strong winds. A chance we could pick up some gales,

02:08particularly around exposed western coasts. Staying the driest for longest across the far

02:13northeast of Scotland, northeastern parts of England. But here, eventually, we'll see the wind

02:18and the rain. So some quite heavy downpours. Do keep an eye out for any Met Office updates

02:23in case we see any rain warnings issued. It's actually probably going to feel a little bit

02:27milder on Sunday. Highs reaching around 20 degrees Celsius, but that obviously being offset

02:31by the wind and rain. So Sunday is going to be quite a blustery day. But the strongest of

02:38the winds aren't actually going to be until later Sunday through into Monday morning. A chance

02:43we could see some gales, if not severe gales, particularly across the southern half of the

02:46country. Now this is across inland areas and mainly around coastal parts, particularly exposed

02:52coastal areas. So Sunday night through into Monday, it is going to be very blustery. So

02:57we have issued a Met Office wind warning for Sunday, 8pm, all the way through into Monday

03:02at 6pm. So inland areas, quite widely, we could see gusts between 45 to 55 miles per hour, reaching

03:0860 to possibly 70 miles per hour around exposed hills and coasts. For more details on the warning,
