00:01Hi there. Very good morning to you. Yes, it may well have been sunny all week in many places and
00:07now heading into a bank holiday weekend. It's all changed, but that doesn't mean it will be a washout. There
00:12will be various features bringing some rain or showers through at times. This feature, the main event later on Saturday
00:20coming up from the south to bring some longer spells of rain and other smaller features to bring some showery
00:25weather to northern Scotland and some scattered showers to northern Ireland, central and central
00:29southern Scotland through the day. Even some thunderstorms for northern Ireland. Drier for much of England and Wales throughout the
00:37morning and early part of the afternoon widely. And then we keep the warm sunshine across parts of mid to
00:43north Wales, the Midlands, the east of England and northern England into the afternoon. So actually it's in this central
00:50swath of the UK where Saturday is mostly a dry day. There'll be some sunshine coming through and it will
00:56feel pleasantly warm temperatures up to the low 20s. Not as warm as
00:59Thursday and Friday in the east, but warm nevertheless. However, by the end of the day, well here we've got
01:07rain arriving from the north and that's going to peg back the temperatures. This is a temperature comparison on Saturday
01:13afternoon compared with Friday. A cooler day in the east, but like I say, still some warm sunshine. Actually warmer
01:18for parts of Wales where we've got cloud and some showery rain on Friday. Much cooler for the northeast of
01:25Scotland given the, at times, prolonged showers and
01:29more of a northerly airflow. However, our attention turns more to the south on Saturday night. Some heavy and at
01:37times thundery rain moving north into central parts of the UK, pushing into northern England, parts of Wales and the
01:42southwest, perhaps southern Scotland by the end of the night.
01:46And here, even if we don't have the longest bells of rain, we've got showers moving south to meet the
01:51band of rain on a brisk northerly wind. That wind will make it feel cold first thing Sunday in the
01:57far north of Scotland.
01:58Further south, a milder night to come because of the cloud and the rain. Temperatures widely staying in the double
02:04figures, drying up after the showers during the day across Northern Ireland.
02:08A bright start here in places. But elsewhere, it is a wet start to Sunday. This is possibly the wettest
02:15period of the bank holiday weekend as rain moves into southern Scotland and slowly clears its way eastwards.
02:21Things do peter out a little into the afternoon, especially through the Midlands, East Anglia and the southeast. Something a
02:28little dry and brighter here. You wouldn't discount one or two showers.
02:31Northern Scotland also faring reasonably well on Sunday afternoon. Some bright spells, just one or two showers feeling on the
02:39cool side.
02:40Meanwhile, it's in this part of the world. Southern Scotland, northern England into parts of Wales and the southwest where
02:45we've got some lingering rain turning more showery by Sunday afternoon.
02:49Some heavy downpours in places. Scattered showers also break out for Northern Ireland.
02:54So as you can see, very mixed weather from place to place and from hour to hour on Sunday.
02:59But it is an improving picture with the main event moving through and showers following.
03:05And actually, bank holiday Monday itself looking more widely dry and bright. Still a lot of cloud around.
03:10And for Northern and Central Scotland, we've got this showery airflow with showers moving south into the central, southern Scotland,
03:17Northern Ireland by the end of the day.
03:19Feeling much colder for the far north of Scotland with some hail at lower levels, some snow over the hills
03:24as northerly winds dig in.
03:26And further south, it's warmer, but not as warm as it has been with temperatures widely in the mid or
03:32high teens.
03:33However, for much of England and Wales, it's mostly dry and bright on Monday afternoon.
03:39A few lines of showers will break out in places. So some places will get shower after shower.
03:44But many other places, 10 miles down the road, for example, staying mostly dry.
03:49So, yes, it is about planning your weekend if you've got outdoor plans, staying across the latest forecasts and the
03:57rainfall maps on the Met Office app, for example.
04:00And making the most of any dry weather that will occur at times through Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
