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

00:04It's fine across the north-west today, clouds across central and eastern areas,

00:07and towards the south, watch out for some heavy rain.

00:10So through this morning, it's chilly if you're stepping out first thing across west in Scotland,

00:14at least there you'll see some sunshine. Sunshine also, particularly for the west side of the central belt.

00:18Northern Ireland, a very similar situation, cool but bright.

00:21We run into the clouds across Aberdeenshire, border regions,

00:24down towards northern counts of England as well as north Wales.

00:27There could be some rain mixed in there where the cloud is thick enough.

00:30Drier but cloudier conditions across the Midlands, the cloud could break at times,

00:34but notice this rain close by, and notice some bright echoes representing some heavy downpours,

00:40hence the reason why there's a rain warning across southern counties of England and Wales

00:44throughout today and into tomorrow.

00:46One or two spots over 48 hours could see up to 100mm of rain,

00:50so there will be problems on the roads, spray, poor visibility, localised flooding as well.

00:55So through the morning, this cloud here will be quite stubborn.

00:58It's going to feel cool along the east coast with that northeast breeze and again some dampness in the air.

01:03Brighter skies coming through across much of Scotland, away from the east side, northern Ireland as well.

01:08But this rain pivots and extends across southeast Wales towards southern counties

01:12and more rain moves in also, showery rain across the west country.

01:15And again, we could see some heavy downpours through the afternoon and into evening rush hour this evening.

01:22This wind continues to blow from the northeast and that means more cloud from time to time

01:27and temperatures peg back here 16 to 18 degrees Celsius.

01:31Along the western side of Scotland though, 21 Celsius will be your high,

01:3519 or 20 across the western side of the central belt, 18 degrees for Belfast, Newry,

01:41but with this northern component of the wind, temperatures have been pegged back a little bit today,

01:45they're going to be higher tomorrow.

01:48And even a disappointing day further south where you've seen some brightness but also that keen wind.

01:53Here's your warning zone across central and southern parts of England and Wales,

01:56extending through this evening and overnight and feeling cool under the clouds and rain across these parts.

02:03So as we head through this evening and overnight, again there'll be problems if you are driving in this rain,

02:09it's going to be heavy at times.

02:11This cloud thickens along this eastern side, down towards much of the Midlands as well as Wales,

02:17and again you can see some patchy rain and drizzle.

02:19Clearer skies across western Scotland and Northern Ireland,

02:22a chilly morning come Friday morning but the sun will get to work quite nicely.

02:27And this rain becomes mostly confined to southern counties of England

02:30but it could nudge northwards from time to time through Friday.

02:33And again, the rain could be heavy.

02:35But through the day, notice these temperatures, so where you catch the sunshine,

02:39in shelter, particularly across central and western areas of Scotland,

02:43we could see 25-26 degrees Celsius, making it the warmest day since May,

02:48where Adnangarh sought 25.6 Celsius.

02:51So currently 22-25, let's see how it works out on Friday,

02:55but it's certainly feeling warm and pleasant,

02:57and much warmer for Northern Ireland, 22 degrees Celsius here.

03:00Now the wind's lost its northerly component along this eastern side,

03:04still an easterly wind though, delivering that cloud on Friday,

03:07but the cloud will break at times, allowing for some sunshine,

03:09certainly for places such as Lancashire, Cumbria, you'll see some brighter weather.

03:13And we'll see some brighter skies coming through across the Midlands as well,

03:17but this rain never too far away.

03:19So temperatures are on the up on Friday, even so,

03:22watch out for that heavy rain across more southern counties.

03:25So that's the picture on Friday, let's have a look at Saturday.

03:28Saturday, the cloud will wax and wane along the eastern side of Scotland,

03:33north-east England.

03:34Inland though, some brighter weather, Northern Ireland seeing a 21.

03:38And then watch out for showers further south across England and Wales,

03:41they could be heavy across central and southern parts.

03:43And you'll outlook then through Sunday.

03:45Now if you want more details of the weather into the weekend and beyond,

03:51This week it's with Ada McGiven, and I'll see you again soon.
