00:00Hello there, welcome to your Wednesday morning weather update from the Met Office.
00:04For some of you it's a relief, today will be drier if not brighter for a time but we
00:09do have rain topping and tailing the country and we have rain mornings in force throughout
00:14the day across southern parts of Wales yet again as well as the west country with some
00:19stronger winds.
00:20There's a trailing weather front here which extends down to another system which will
00:24push northwards bringing with it some heavy pulses of rain as we head through this morning
00:28into this afternoon, rainfall totals continue to rise and that means river levels continue
00:33to rise as the land becomes even more saturated.
00:36The air turns colder from the north particularly across northern Scotland through this afternoon
00:41you'll notice the difference in terms of that air temperature and the rain here will be slow
00:46moving just eventually reaching Northern Ireland later on.
00:50For the time being if you're stepping out first thing it's wet across northern Scotland as
00:54well as the west, showery bursts of rain and this driving wind coming in from a cold direction.
01:01Southern Scotland seeing some brighter skies as the sun rises and a little showery rain can't
01:06be ruled out across the far north of Northern Ireland generally though it's a dry start to
01:10the day.
01:11Drier weather, brighter conditions for southern Scotland, northern England, even the far north
01:15of Wales but then we run into more clouds across the North Midlands, the middle part of Wales
01:21and further south outbreaks of rain.
01:24So this rain again will be heavy at times as it extends from East Anglia, the middle and
01:30central southern England, the west country pushing in by around mid morning across southern
01:36and central parts of Wales.
01:38The rain will be intense as it slowly moves northwards with a clearance coming in across the
01:44south east later.
01:45At the same time around lunch time this area of rain will be drifting across the central
01:50and northern areas of Scotland and then showers file in across the far north helped with that
01:55strong wind and these showers could turn wintry over the higher ground over the next 24 hours.
02:01But notice across the central belt a mix of clouds, some broken clouds with a little sunshine
02:06coming through and a fairly cloudy day certainly afternoon for Northern Ireland and again windy
02:12along this north coast. But the rain will continue as we head through the afternoon pushing in
02:18across northern England covering most of Wales, the west country as well and those rainfall
02:23totals continue to rise as it extends further north. Temperatures will still be on the mild
02:29side across England and Wales but you'll notice the difference across the far north of Scotland,
02:34single figures through the next few days. It's going to feel cold in that wind.
02:37So if you're stepping out through this evening notice the rain just pushing in across the south east
02:43of Northern Ireland covering the Isle of Man, Wales again but the most intense burst now across
02:48Yorkshire as well as Lancashire. Now across the far north of England most of Northern Ireland seeing
02:54some dry weather through the evening but notice these showers streaming in across central and
02:59northern areas of Scotland and that will be the name of the game as we head through this evening and
03:03overnight. So the rain makes inroads across Northern Ireland through this evening, southern and central
03:08parts of Scotland. Clearer skies across more southern areas through the night as this rain stalls across
03:15central Scotland, Northern Ireland, Northern England and then another batch of rain just filters in across the
03:21south east of England as we head through Thursday morning. Through Thursday then there's three types
03:26of weather. We have that cold air across the far north and also those showers and then this rain
03:32straddling central southern parts of Scotland, Northern England as well as Northern Ireland. A few
03:37showery bits further south as well and then we run into this drier air with some brighter breaks through the
03:43morning on Thursday across mid Wales and Midlands, a legacy of clouds towards the south east here as well.
03:49And that rain just comes and goes across Kent perhaps Essex. Temperatures then through the afternoon mid-teens
03:56across England and Wales on Thursday. Cold across the north you can see temperatures here eight or nine
04:01degrees Celsius and not feeling particularly pleasant under the clouds and the rain across southern Scotland,
04:07central parts, Northern England as well as Northern Ireland. Now through Thursday evening the rain yet again
04:14intensifies from the south and it pushes ever northwards as the winds pick up from a northeasterly direction
04:20so some wet and windy weather on its way on Friday. More details check out our deep dive this week
04:26it's with Aidan McGibbon and I'll see you again soon.
