00:00Hi there. It may have been a chilly and in some places foggy starts to the day but the
00:05afternoon looks mostly warm and bright. Certainly plenty of sunshine developing across a large
00:11part of England and Wales. Still some fog lingering at first during the afternoon but
00:16that tending to lift into lower cloud and mostly disperse. But patches of cloud will
00:22remain in places, east Wales into the west country for example, hugging the coast of
00:27East Anglia and there'll be thicker cloud for Scotland and Northern Ireland. Thick
00:32enough to give a few light showers especially for western parts of Northern Ireland, Western
00:37Scotland. The breeze picking up here and it's a southerly breeze so it's going to
00:42allow temperatures to reach the mid or towards the high teens in places. We're
00:47talking about 16 to 18 Celsius across the heart of England where we've got the
00:52chance of plenty of sunshine through the afternoon. Certainly feeling
00:57fresher for Northern Ireland much of Scotland with the cloudier skies and that
01:01increased breeze. The breeze being as it is from the south may also over the next
01:07couple of days bring some Saharan dust our way so don't be surprised if your car
01:12gets a little dirty or if you see some more vivid sunrises and sunsets. Into the
01:18evening and overnight we'll see that southerly breeze continue. It'll bring some
01:23thicker clouds to Scotland and Northern Ireland thick enough to give persistent
01:27rain in places by the end of the night. Patchy rain for the east and south of
01:32Scotland but the bulk of England and Wales will be clear through much of the
01:38nights allowing some mist and fog to develop once again where the breeze drops
01:42out. Temperatures six to seven Celsius mainly a touch lower where we've got some
01:48shelter from the breeze and lengthy clear spells milder towards the northwest of
01:54course where we've got the rain first thing Thursday courtesy of this weather
01:57front. Fairly active for a time but it is being squeezed on both sides by high
02:02pressure and that high pressure slows it down as well so it's only going to
02:06gradually move through Scotland and Northern Ireland on Thursday morning. That
02:10means a damp day for many parts especially Western Scotland, Northern Ireland. The rain
02:15only eventually reaching West Wales and the far southwest by the afternoon. Some
02:21heavy bursts associated with it but to the east we keep the sunny spells and with
02:26that southerly breeze it's going to be another warm one with temperatures a degree
02:31or so higher. You could see 19 degrees in parts of the east and southeast. Not
02:37feeling so warm towards the northwest colder air is returning here and as that
02:42happens and as this weather front slowly edges eastwards we'll see some flakes of
02:47snow over the highest peaks of Scotland and eventually parts of the Pennines as
02:51well. Again some heavier bursts with the rain as it pushes into northern and
02:56western England, West Wales and eastern Scotland but it clears the west of
03:00Scotland, Northern Ireland, clearer skies to end the day here. Also clearer skies to the
03:06east of England. Then that front weakens and eventually disappears. I think some
03:11decent sunny spells expected for all of us at times during the days ahead as high
03:17pressure remains reasonably close by.
