00:00It's quite a messy picture across the UK through the rest of today and through the rest of this week into the weekend as well.

00:07Yes, there's some glimmers of sunshine around, but we also have this trailing front.

00:11You can see the front on the earlier satellite imagery, this swathe of cloud, and it's this that's pushing its way in,

00:18and it's going to bring some further rain, particularly across parts of Northern Ireland, Northern England,

00:23and parts of North Wales as we go through into this afternoon.

00:26And this same frontal feature is going to be lingering for the next few days in a similar spot.

00:31So, yes, turning quite wet across parts of Northern Ireland through the next few hours,

00:36some heavy bursts of rain possible here, some damp weather across parts of Northern England and North Wales,

00:41also a few outbreaks of rain across the far north of Scotland and some strong blustery winds here.

00:46Elsewhere, though, actually some decent dry weather to be had, some sunshine breaking out,

00:51particularly across some eastern parts of Scotland,

00:53and some sunshine breaking out across some central southern parts of England and Wales as well.

00:58Worth bearing in mind, though, here, the cloud could be thick enough for a few spots of drizzly rain.

01:03Now, temperatures are rising.

01:05More on that for tomorrow.

01:06But nonetheless, in the southeast, we're still looking at highs of around 23, 24 Celsius,

01:11and with lighter winds here feeling fairly warm.

01:14Elsewhere, temperatures a few degrees down on this,

01:16and obviously where we have those strong winds in the north, it is going to feel that much fresher.

01:20Then, later on, we have more rain feeding its way in across parts of Northern England,

01:25southern parts of Scotland, and fringing into the far north-northwest of Wales as well.

01:30Also, a little bit of rain pushing across some other parts of Scotland too,

01:34more cloud here and some outbreaks of showery rain following in behind.

01:38But elsewhere, there will be some drier, clearer weather as we go through overnight.

01:42And where we get some clear spells, temperatures may just about drop into single digits in some rural spots.

01:47Most towns and cities, though, holding up in those mid-teens values, similar to some recent nights.

01:53So, again, quite a mild night for most of us.

01:56And then tomorrow, we kind of wake up with four zones of weather.

01:59Some wet weather across the far north of Scotland, but this clears away.

02:02And some more wet weather lingering.

02:04Like I said, that front lingers across parts of Northern England into parts of Northern Wales

02:09through much of the day.

02:11And that could actually pep up a little bit more as we go through into the afternoon.

02:15And then in the other two zones, across much of Scotland and Northern Ireland,

02:18a good deal of fine, bright, sunny weather and more sunshine also across central, southern,

02:23southeastern parts of England and Wales.

02:25And here, where we get that decent sunshine, it's going to be even warmer than today.

02:30We're looking at highs around London and up towards East Anglia, reaching 26, 27 Celsius.

02:35And it's going to feel pretty humid with that as well.

02:38Well, elsewhere, yes, temperature's not as high.

02:40And obviously, where we get the rain, it is going to feel several degrees cooler

02:44than those highs in the mid, possibly even high 20s.

02:48Then later on, more wet weather across parts of Northern England

02:52into northern and western parts of Wales.

02:55That rain turning a bit heavier.

02:56And that rain may start to fringe into parts of southwest England

02:59as we go overnight Friday into Saturday as well, otherwise staying largely dry.

03:04But this front continues to linger here as we go into the weekend.

03:08So we do have more heavy rain to come.

03:10It could turn quite thundery.

03:11We do have warnings out because of the potential for impacts from the wet weather.

03:16And also watch out for some strong winds, particularly on Saturday.

03:19Gales, maybe even severe gales in exposed spots.

03:23Now, whilst Friday's likely to be the warmest day, we'll cling on to something warm for Saturday.

03:28But as the unsettled weather clears away as we go through Sunday,

03:32we're also going to see the warmer weather clearing away as well.

03:35So temperatures will be dropping as we go through this weekend.

03:38For a more in-depth look at what we can expect through the weekend,

03:41well, check out Alex Deacon's weekend weather forecast,

03:43which he'll be bringing to you later on.

03:45Bye-bye.
