00:00Hello there.
00:01April is certainly living up to its changeable reputation this year and we do have further
00:05showers in the forecast for some areas through the course of this afternoon too.
00:09Looking at the bigger picture from space though, you can actually see that the UK is generally
00:12between weather systems today, although we do have an area of low pressure still affecting
00:16northern parts of Scotland.
00:17It's this area of high pressure that will tend to dominate as we go through the next
00:21few days and indeed into next week as well.
00:24Prior to that though, we do have a number of showers affecting parts of Scotland and
00:27some other western fringes of the UK at the moment.
00:31As we go through this afternoon, these will tend to continue, particularly across Scotland
00:34and Northern Ireland, where one or two heavier downpours are possible.
00:38We can also see some heavy showers developing across parts of North Wales, North West England
00:42and these will drift into the Midlands as well, perhaps sparking to give an odd isolated thunderstorm
00:47in places too.
00:48But further south, largely dry for South Wales and southern parts of England and here we'll
00:52see the best of the sunshine, so it will be another warm day for the time of year, particularly
00:56in South East England, where temperatures will be considerably above average for the middle
01:00part of April, 18 degrees in the Greater London area and widely elsewhere across the UK, 13
01:06to 15 degrees Celsius.
01:07But it will be quite windy across parts of Scotland, particularly for Shetland and Orkney, with winds
01:12here gusting into the 40s of miles per hour, so therefore feeling quite a bit cooler.
01:16A scattering of showers in places as we go into this evening, perhaps the old thunderstorm locally
01:21as well, but gradually those showers will tend to become restricted to northern and western
01:25parts of Scotland as we go through the course of tonight, so many places turning dry, clear
01:30and fairly chilly as well.
01:32Towns and cities will drop down to anywhere between 4 and 6 degrees Celsius, but in the
01:37countryside, well these are the temperatures we could see in some rural areas, perhaps as
01:40low as minus 3 in parts of Northern Ireland and Southern Scotland and even about 0 degrees
01:46in parts of central and southern parts of England and Wales, so a widespread grass frost in the
01:50countryside, something for gardeners and growers to be aware of if you do have some tender
01:55plants already outside.
01:56The exception will be across the very far north of Scotland, where there will still be quite
02:00a strong breeze affecting Shetland and Orkney, and as we go through the day on Sunday here,
02:04well we'll continue to see outbreaks of rain or showers.
02:07Otherwise any morning mist and fog will quickly clear across South West England and South Wales
02:11to leave a fine day mixture of sunny spells and fair weather cloud for many, but the vast
02:16majority will have a dry day.
02:18There may all just be one or two isolated showers by the afternoon across parts of Northern Ireland
02:22and Northern England, but despite the sunshine it will again be another warm day as I say
02:27with highs of 15 or 16 degrees in the south east, not quite as warm as on Saturday and around
02:3311 to 13 degrees elsewhere.
02:35It stays quite windy and blustery though for north east Scotland through the day and into the
02:39evening, outbreaks of rain continue here, otherwise just the odd shower, but most places having
02:45a dry end to the weekend.
02:46And as we go into next week, well high pressure will build, now that doesn't mean it's going
02:50to be water, wall, sunshine and dry for everyone, but there will be a lot of dry weather.
02:55In the west we'll see the warmest conditions with temperatures perhaps into the mid to high
02:59teens later in the week.
03:01But further east a quite chilly eastly wind developing, so for North Sea coastal regions
03:05it will feel on the cold side and there will be some low clouds, some threats and some
03:09sea har affecting North Sea coastal regions at times.
03:12And in the south west of England we'll see that easterly wind turning quite strong by the
03:16middle of the week, so potentially reaching gale force in places.
