00:00Hello there, here's your Wednesday evening weather update from the Met Office.
00:03We've seen some warm air across central and eastern areas today, temperatures up into the high teens,
00:11slightly lower temperatures tomorrow and certainly still some rain around.
00:15In fact, that's how we see the next few days with a succession of weather fronts extending across the country,
00:21blustery winds as well.
00:22Then the air turns a little colder from the northwest as we see more rain arrive from the southwest.
00:27However, into a Saturday morning, a drier spell, a ridge of high pressure, a touch of frost, even some sunshine
00:35before yet again rain waits in the wings and arrives through Saturday night and into Sunday.
00:41For the time being, you can see where the wet weather is central and northern areas of Scotland,
00:46showery across Northern Ireland as well as southern Scotland, northwest England seeing a few showers
00:50and a few light passing showery bursts just in the breeze across the north and the west of Wales.
00:58Dryer skies further south and east, but temperatures will hold up overnight.
01:02It's going to be a mild one, particularly across England, Wales, northern Ireland, central parts of Scotland,
01:079 or 10 Celsius, a bit cooler though, towards the northwest of Scotland.
01:11And notice more rain arriving as we head through the morning.
01:15But first thing, some sporadic bursts of rain across Scotland, the cloud thickening from the west,
01:19eventually that rain arriving by around 6am.
01:22A wet start to the day with a blustery strong wind across Northern Ireland.
01:27The cloud thickens all the world across England and Wales and again some showers just ahead of that main rain
01:33band.
01:34Some dry skies across the Midlands, Lincolnshire, East Anglia, the southeast.
01:39And here, a bit of a breeze coming through, but the chance of some brighter breaks as we head through
01:43the first part of the day.
01:45Now, through the morning, this area of wet weather extends towards the northeast as well as the east.
01:51As the winds pick up, turning quite gusty over the Pennines, the southern uplands,
01:56as the rain clears Northern Ireland, hangs on across Scotland, extends towards Northern England as well as the Midlands.
02:02We see drier skies until much later across the southeast of England, but here temperatures probably only around 14 Celsius,
02:09so a good few degrees lower than today, and 10 to 12 across Scotland and Northern Ireland.
02:14And that breeze will be a feature of the weather through Thursday evening.
02:18Here's that rain band stalling across Wales, central parts of England down towards the west country.
02:24Some clearer skies across eastern Scotland.
02:26Blustery showers, though, across the northwest of Scotland, as the rain gradually pushes up towards the central belt
02:32into the early hours of Friday morning, affecting Northern Ireland as well.
02:36Some sporadic bursts of rain for the southeast of England first thing on Friday,
02:40as the rain, which could be heavy at times across Wales as well as Northern England,
02:44gradually retreats through the afternoon across eastern and central parts of Scotland.
02:49Showers will affect Northern Ireland as well as the northwest of England, so it's a messy picture and windy at
02:54times.
02:55So that's the system clearing off the scene through Friday.
02:59Saturday, as I said, that ridge of high pressure.
03:01And here's the next system, just skirting Scotland with some showers before more persistent rain arrives on Sunday across many
03:08areas,
03:09although really it's southwest and southern parts of Scotland.
03:12That's Dumfries and Galloway, Ayrshire, Lanarkshire, where you'll see the highest rainfall totals.
03:17So that's the outlook through the next few days.
03:20For more details of the next 10 days, check out our 10-day trend.
03:25And I'll see you again soon.
