00:00Hi there.
00:01We are very much in a rinse and repeat pattern as far as the weather is concerned across
00:05the UK.
00:06Bands of rain followed by showers followed by further bands of rain.
00:10All tied in with areas of low pressure, one after the other coming in from the Atlantic
00:14at the moment.
00:15This low has swung a weather front in but the isobars are opening out.
00:19In fact, another separate low is forming through central areas and that's helping to slow down
00:25the rain.
00:26The wet weather basically stalling through the Midlands, eastern and northern England,
00:30parts of Scotland during the rest of Thursday.
00:33Winds strengthening on the forward side of that through eastern and northeastern parts.
00:37Showers for northeast Scotland.
00:39Brighter skies for Northern Ireland.
00:41Also some sunny spells through the south, south-west and south Wales.
00:46But here there will be some lively showers, hail, thunder a possibility with gusty winds.
00:52So very mixed conditions across the country.
00:54Despite the sunniest skies likely across Northern Ireland, it's going to feel cold here, six
00:58celsius.
00:59Not much warmer elsewhere, especially where we've got those persistent spells of rain.
01:05The rain does indeed continue across eastern and northern England, parts of Scotland overnight.
01:10It tends to become more showery as the night goes on.
01:13It moves us into the far northeast.
01:15Clear spells emerging through Northern Ireland, much of east Wales, the Midlands, East Anglia and
01:21the south-east.
01:22And here it will be a chilly night with temperatures falling close to, if not a touch below freezing,
01:27and some freezing fog patches forming, especially across south-east England.
01:32These will take until mid to late morning to clear, but away from the fog there will be
01:37some sunny spells for the Midlands, eastern England and the south-east.
01:42Elsewhere we've got strengthening winds, building cloud and the next area of rain moving into
01:47western parts.
01:48Especially Northern Ireland and Wales in the south-west will be persistent and heavy as
01:52we end the day.
01:53Tricky conditions for the Friday afternoon rush hour.
01:57Clear spells, some sunshine continuing in the east.
02:00Still some showers for Orkney and Shetland, along with a stronger breeze here.
02:05But yeah, it's going to be turning a bit milder in the south-west.
02:09Not feeling particularly mild, however, with that wet and windy weather moving in as we end
02:14Friday.
02:15So a soggy evening to come on Friday as that rain band moves its way eastwards.
02:20It will clear, but only to the next area of showers and gusty winds.
02:25These showers once more heavy and it's going to be a wet night for many as that rain clears
02:31its way through.
02:33Low pressure still in charge, followed by another low, followed by another low, etc., etc.,
02:39during the weekend and into the start of next week.
02:42So very changeable weather, there won't be raining all the time, but there will be plenty
02:46of rain around.
02:47Best way to stay across it is our YouTube channel or the Met Office app.
02:51Bye bye.
