00:00 Hello there, welcome to your Thursday morning weather update from the Met Office.

00:05 It's a cold start to the morning and bright for some before cloud rolls in from the south-west.

00:11 Even so, still showers continue across northern and western parts of Scotland,

00:16 wintry over the highest ground and some patchy frost to start the day where we've seen clear skies,

00:21 particularly across the glens of Scotland, northern England also getting off to a bit of a chilly one.

00:26 For Northern Ireland, always more clouds extending down towards Wales, the south-west midlands,

00:31 south-western parts of England, central-southern England, but towards the east, a bright morning, a chilly one, with some sunshine.

00:38 So, through the morning we watch as this cloud continues just to make inroads eastwards.

00:43 These showers here will persist through the morning and still we have a strong wind towards Shetland as well as Orkney,

00:50 and a bit of a breeze coming in across the western side of Scotland as well.

00:54 However, through the morning a few things change.

00:57 The showers tend to fade through the day and any sunshine becomes a bit more hazy as this cloud slowly pushes eastwards.

01:05 Most places dry, particularly across eastern and southern parts of Scotland, northern Ireland, England and Wales,

01:11 but notice towards the north-west.

01:14 That cloud will thicken even further and eventually we'll see some outbreaks of rain,

01:18 particularly affecting the north-west highlands, but it will become persistent across northern and western parts of Scotland

01:23 through the latter part of the day.

01:25 Now, across England and Wales the cloud will be thick at times, where you catch some brightness, at the best some hazy sunshine,

01:32 as temperatures reach 7 to 9 degrees Celsius, but a wet and windy evening to come across western Scotland.

01:39 So, through Wednesday evening and overnight, the air turns a lot milder across the northern and western part of the country.

01:45 Again, outbreaks of rain extending towards Shetland as well as Orkney.

01:49 Patchy rain and drizzle for the southern uplands, the Pennines, the higher ground of northern Ireland,

01:54 the Welsh mountains down towards the west country.

01:56 Further east, that cloud thickens all the while and so temperatures not as low as the night before, but even so,

02:03 still around 4 or 5 degrees Celsius, but notice towards the north, 8, 9, 10 degrees Celsius to start Friday.

02:10 And Friday will be cloudy generally and with that the rain will be persistent across western areas of Scotland.

02:16 Now, this wind will be fairly strong, hopping over the highlands, it will turn gusty across the highlands as well as Pennine districts

02:23 and more persistent rain extends across Scotland into northern Ireland through the afternoon.

02:27 But these temperatures will be on the high side.

02:29 Added to the fern effect, we could see 14 degrees Celsius for the Moray Firth as well as Aberdeenshire.

02:35 Now, the air across Scotland will wax and wane between mild and cold through the weekend.

02:41 You can see here this front brings with it more cloud across England and Wales,

02:45 but for Scotland, yes, a gusty wind and a few showers, but some brighter weather, particularly towards more eastern areas.

02:51 Before, yet again, the cloud thickens with this warm front bringing milder conditions,

02:56 a breezy day on Sunday and outbreaks of rain towards the north.

02:59 See you later.
