00:00We have a bit of a three-way split as we go through the rest of today.

00:04There is some fine weather around, especially across central parts of the country,

00:08but that's very much sandwiched in between cloudier, wetter weather towards the north

00:12and also some cloudy, drizzly, damp weather towards the far south

00:16because of a front that's gradually edging away here.

00:19So across southern parts, yes, a bit grey, a bit damp at the moment,

00:23but it is going to turn a bit drier as we go through the afternoon.

00:26Meanwhile, across parts of Scotland, particularly the north and west,

00:29it's actually turning wetter and windier as we go through the day,

00:32those winds picking up, perhaps touching gales later on around exposed coasts.

00:36In between, though, and quite cloudy for Northern Ireland,

00:39but across the rest of England and Wales, actually some decent fine

00:42and at times sunny weather and in that sunshine with temperatures peaking in the mid to high teens,

00:47they just about scrape to the low 20s, probably not, probably staying in the high teens.

00:51It's going to feel pretty warm with generally light winds for most

00:55away from the blustery northwest of the UK.

00:57Obviously, where you get the cloud, where you get the stronger winds and the rain,

01:01it is going to feel markedly fresher.

01:03As we go through this evening, the wind's strengthening perhaps a little bit more

01:05across parts of northwest Scotland,

01:07and the rain edging a bit further south across more central and southern parts

01:11as we go through the night.

01:12Some damp weather also feeding into parts of Northern Ireland,

01:15and the cloud may come in across parts of northwest England,

01:19perhaps parts of Wales as well,

01:20and that could bring a few spots of rain too.

01:22But elsewhere, most places actually largely dry,

01:26staying dry across southern and eastern parts of England and Wales,

01:29and also turning dry across northern parts of Scotland.

01:32And where we get the dry, clear weather,

01:34particularly where the winds are light towards the south,

01:37well, temperatures are going to take a bit of a drop,

01:39so even towns and cities falling into single digits.

01:41Some rural spots a few degrees lower than this,

01:44and with that then,

01:46a reasonable chance that we will see some fog patches developing

01:48as we head towards dawn, particularly towards the southwest.

01:53These, though, should clear relatively quickly

01:55as we go through tomorrow morning,

01:57and then actually across the southern half of the UK,

02:00it's actually looking like a largely fine day,

02:02some decent sunshine on offer for most of us.

02:05Cloudier, though, across parts of northern England,

02:07particularly northwest England,

02:08some parts of southwest Scotland,

02:10and also across much of Northern Ireland,

02:12and there'll be a few spots of rain continuing here.

02:14Largely dry, though, across Northern Ireland.

02:16Still some blustery winds across northern parts,

02:19but these will be easing down just a little bit

02:21through the daytime itself.

02:23Temperatures for many on Thursday

02:24will be a little bit higher than today,

02:27particularly towards the south,

02:28with less cloud around, brighter skies.

02:31It's going to feel a bit warmer as well,

02:32especially because the winds are generally staying light

02:35for most of us as well.

02:37As we go later on on Thursday,

02:38there is going to be a bit of damp weather

02:40pushing into western, northwestern parts of Scotland.

02:42It doesn't look especially heavy,

02:44but, again, we are going to see some rain arriving here.

02:46Meanwhile, other places staying largely dry,

02:49and, again, where we get clear skies overnight

02:51into Thursday, Thursday into Friday,

02:54we could see some fog patches developing.

02:56Otherwise, as we go into the weekend,

02:57high pressure is going to be firmly in control.

02:59So, whilst it won't be totally dry,

03:01it is going to be often fine, often calm, often settled,

03:05albeit towards the far north of the UK,

03:07it's going to stay a bit breezy.

03:09With that settled weather,

03:11it's a case of chasing the cloud,

03:13and so where we get some sunny breaks developing,

03:16it's going to feel relatively warm during the weekend,

03:18but overnight, it does mean that it could turn a little chilly

03:21and we could see some fog patches developing.

03:24Always worth bearing in mind, fog's a difficult one,

03:26and so we may need some warnings to cover for the fact

03:29that there could be some impacts,

03:31particularly on the roads,

03:32but they might be issued at quite short notice,

03:34so we're staying up to date with the forecast.

03:36Bye-bye.
