00:00Hello then, a very good morning to you on this Friday morning, which is chilly with a frost in the south,

00:06as well as some fog patches before wet and windy weather arrives from the southwest.

00:11So the air remains cold through this morning into this afternoon, but milder conditions eventually sweeping in from the southwest,

00:19accompanied with strong winds, outbreaks of rain and a lot of cloud.

00:23That rain becomes showery across the north, and then we'll see showers further south before all change yet again,

00:29with more wet weather arriving from the southwest into Sunday.

00:34So let's pick up on some detail through this morning.

00:37If you are stepping out, it's showery across the north and the east of Scotland, a brisk breeze here,

00:41and some showers across western Scotland.

00:44And then we run into some drier weather.

00:45The clouds thickening across Northern Ireland, but once the sun rises, we will see some sunshine across England and Wales,

00:51a few showers just reserved for Cumbria, as well as Lancashire.

00:54Wales seeing a scattering of showers, and we are seeing a few just clipping the south coast.

00:59But inland, if you are travelling first thing, watch out for some fog patches,

01:03particularly towards the southeast of England, and a frost here as well.

01:07But notice towards the southwest, already the cloud is thickening across Cornwall, as well as Devon,

01:13and those winds picking up some strength, heralding a change in our weather.

01:17Some wet and windy conditions coming in across western areas as we head through the morning and into the afternoon.

01:24So, yes, some of you will see some brighter weather.

01:27We hang on to some drier conditions, in fact, as we head through the morning across central and eastern areas.

01:32But notice this rain rolling in.

01:35So by around, as I'd say, mid-morning, we'll see the first of the rain arriving across southwestern parts of Wales,

01:42northern Ireland.

01:43Some heavier pulses then, as that rain gradually clears afar north of Scotland,

01:48and we'll see some brighter skies coming through.

01:51Now, through the afternoon, it's wet and windy across many areas.

01:54Gales are likely across Irish seacoast towards the north channel, western Scotland,

01:58and those rainfall totals will continue to rise as we see that wet weather just persist across these parts.

02:05So here's your outlook through Friday afternoon.

02:08This afternoon, you will see that wet weather anywhere from the West Midlands, western parts of Scotland,

02:14southwards and westwards.

02:16Brighter skies to end the afternoon across central and eastern areas.

02:20But through rush hour this evening, that wind and that rain continues its passage eastwards and northwards.

02:27Temperatures then coming in probably around 6 to 10 degrees Celsius,

02:30but at 12 down towards Cornwall and Devon, heralding some milder conditions through Saturday.

02:36Here's that rain then through this evening and overnight.

02:39Again, it's pushing northwards, those strong winds.

02:42Winds also just having some strength to them, even some gales across the south as well as the west.

02:48And those showers will be heavy, clustering together to form longer spells of rain.

02:53So that's how we start Saturday morning.

02:55Showering across many areas, some rain across central parts of Scotland,

02:59that stiff wind across the far north and northeast of Scotland with those showers.

03:04So it's a wet and windy start to the day across many areas,

03:07with showers just tracking in on that strong wind.

03:11Through Saturday then, those showers continue across most areas.

03:15You can see the centre of the low is just towards the west of Scotland there,

03:19and those winds will also be a feature into the afternoon.

03:22A lighter breeze perhaps southern Scotland, northern England,

03:25but showers never too far away.

03:27And your outlook through Sunday is pretty much a case of that showery rain in the north,

03:33more cloud in the south, but that's not the end of the story.

03:37It remains unsettled into next week.
