00:00Hello there, welcome to your weather update from the Met Office. As we go through the

00:03next few days and into the half-term week, the weather is set to remain unsettled right

00:08across the country as low pressure dominates, bringing in spells of rain and showers. But

00:13at the same time, it is dragging in some warm air from the south, so temperatures by day

00:17and by night will remain above average.

00:20Back to this afternoon now, and there is a band of rain across parts of Scotland and

00:25Northern Ireland, giving a rather wet and cloudy afternoon here. Further south across

00:29England and Wales, there is some sunshine, but also some cloud and some showers starting

00:33to work their way into south-west England and south Wales. But for all of us, it is

00:38a mild afternoon, temperatures potentially reaching 18 or 19 degrees in the south.

00:43Into this evening, that cloud and rain will linger on across Scotland, only slowly working

00:48its way northwards. At the same time, further showers working their way in from the south,

00:53and especially so as we go into the small hours of Sunday morning, and tense and thundery

00:56band of rain beginning to move in across southern counties of England. But for all

01:01of us, it will be a mild night for many, staying in double figures.

01:06So that intense band of rain will gradually work its way northwards as we go through the

01:10course of Sunday. Still some rain in the far north of Scotland too, and then a brief brighter

01:16and drier spell coming in from the south, but then further heavy and thundery showers

01:19working their way in as we go into the afternoon. So there is a yellow thunderstorm warning

01:24in force as we go through Sunday and early Monday across parts of England and Wales.

01:28So if you do want more information about this, you can always check us out on our website,

01:33or follow us on our various social media channels. But that's all from me for now, see you again

01:37soon.
