00:00Hello, good afternoon. The theme of sunny spells and showers is once again the story

00:05for Saturday. And if we have a look at the radar and satellite imagery from the last

00:09few hours, we can see where those showers have been. They've been pushing from west

00:12to east across the UK, and we've actually seen the focus of the showers in the last

00:16few hours across the very far south. So running into southern England, but also packing into

00:20many western parts of the UK, and some of those showers have also been quite thundery.

00:25And the story's not going to change very much through this afternoon, so very changeable

00:27out there. Sunny spells one moment, a passing downpour the next, and I wouldn't want to

00:32rule out the risk of the odd rumble of thunder pretty much anywhere across the UK through

00:36the course of this afternoon. The showers might just ease a little bit, turning a little bit

00:40more isolated across more western and southern areas later today, but there'll still be a

00:44few around. It won't be as windy, though, as it has been in recent days, so if you do catch

00:49some sunshine, it won't feel too bad. Overall temperature is fairly close to average for

00:53the time of year, but certainly as those showers pass through, it will be on the cool

00:57side. Into this evening, then, and the showers continue for a time, particularly focused across

01:02parts of North Wales, maybe northwest England and parts of Scotland for a time, so some more

01:07frequent showers to come here. Otherwise, those skies clearing, and the showers tend to fade

01:11away, so many places turning dry as we move towards the early hours of Sunday morning, and

01:16with clearing skies, it is set to be a fairly chilly night quite widely across the UK, and in

01:21the countryside, we could even see a touch of frost in the countryside in the far south, maybe down to

01:27three to five degrees Celsius in rural areas, but for northern parts of Scotland, well, air

01:32temperatures could even get down quite close to freezing, so it's more likely to see some frost

01:35here. There may well be one or two mist and fog patches as the winds ease down as well, but those

01:40won't last very long on Sunday morning, and that's all because the winds are going to be strengthening

01:44out towards the west. We've got this area of low pressure moving in through the day on Sunday,

01:48so the wind's really starting to strengthen through the latter part of Sunday, and we do have a

01:53yellow wind warning coming into place from 8pm on Sunday evening across England and Wales, and those

01:59winds will continue to stay strong as we move into Monday as well. Those ice bars staying fairly close

02:03together across England and Wales, but the winds also strengthening at times across some parts of

02:08northern Britain too. But back to Sunday morning, and it's a blue sky and sunny start to the day for

02:14many, especially so across more central, eastern and northern parts of the UK. Make the most of that

02:19sunshine because already in the west it will be turning cloudy. Outbreaks of rain arriving later

02:23in the morning across southwest England, Wales and northern Ireland. Some of that rain particularly

02:28heavy, especially over the higher ground, and that rain will gradually push its way further north and

02:33east across the UK as we move through the afternoon. The best of the brightness holding on across more

02:39northern parts of Scotland on Sunday, so some hazy sunshine to come for Aberdeenshire and the northern

02:43isles here. But out towards the west, the winds really starting to strengthen through the course of the

02:48afternoon. So Irish sea gales developing and winds even inland starting to gust 30 to 40 miles per hour.

02:55With those winds, it's not going to feel very pleasant, feeling on the cool side, but temperatures

02:59largely around average once again for the time of year. That rain continues to push its way north and

03:05east across the UK through Sunday evening and Sunday night. So still some pretty heavy bursts pretty

03:10much anywhere, but generally tends to turn a little bit more showery out towards the west. As that happens

03:16though, the winds will start to strengthen. So that wind warning coming into effect at 8pm across many parts

03:20of England and Wales, and it's going to stay windy on Monday as well. Gales in the south, a mixture of sunny

03:26spells and heavy showers, some thunderstorms around perhaps as well, and temperatures a little bit

03:31disappointing, but not too far away from average. Do make sure you're following us on our social media channels

03:36so that you never miss any updates. That's everything from me, and I'll see you again very soon.
