Hello there. On Thursday, outbreaks of rain will sink southwards and eastwards across
00:09
the UK and will turn increasingly patchy later in the day. The best of the dry and bright
00:14
weather with some sunny spells will be for south-west to England as high pressure will
00:18
begin to edge in from the west. Now as we move into Friday, low pressure will be located
00:23
to the east of the UK with high pressure to the west and this will generate a cool northerly
00:27
airflow which will become established on Friday. This will bring a bright but breezy day, we'll
00:33
have some sunny spells but there will also be some showers around and these will turn
00:36
increasingly less frequent later in the day and our winds will also ease. Fairly blustery
00:43
and breezy though for north sea coastal areas with some strong northerly winds possible.
00:49
Turning more settled as we move into the weekend as high pressure dominates, we'll have some
00:53
calm and settled conditions with periods of sunshine and as we move into next week, high
00:57
pressure will remain close by.
