00:00Thanks for joining me for this national weather update.

00:06Low pressure dominates the weather charts at the moment.

00:09This one bringing plenty of showers during Friday night.

00:12And this one will bring further bands of showers

00:15up from the southwest through the weekend.

00:17But between the two weather systems,

00:19there is a bit of a respite, a bit of a dry slot,

00:23certainly for much of England and Wales.

00:24Saturday will be mostly dry until this next system,

00:28as I say, brings further bands of showers

00:29north during Saturday night and on Sunday.

00:32And if we rewind the clock and take a look

00:35at where our air is coming from,

00:37the winds go anti-clockwise around low pressure systems.

00:40So when they're approaching from the southwest,

00:42it's withdrawing up air from the south.

00:45And it's really quite warm at the moment

00:47through parts of Spain and France.

00:49And that mild air will continue to waft in across the UK.

00:53So it is going to stay mild through this weekend.

00:55And the bands of showers will provide

00:58some sunny spells in between.

01:01And when the sun's out, it'll, as I say,

01:02feel pretty mild for the time of year

01:04during the course of the weekend.

01:06But there are plenty of showers around as well.

01:08And if we come back to Friday night,

01:10you can see one band of heavy showers

01:12working out into the North Sea,

01:14another one coming into Wales and Northern Ireland,

01:16extending across northwest England into southern Scotland

01:19by the time we start Saturday.

01:21It's fairly windy, but the wind's easing

01:24as we go through the early hours.

01:25And as we've already seen,

01:27the air's coming up from the south, so it's pretty mild.

01:29We're not going to start the weekend too chilly.

01:31It's 10 or 11 degrees Celsius.

01:34Much of England and Wales will start the weekend

01:35with some hazy sunshine as well,

01:37but it could be quite a wet start

01:39across the far north of England,

01:40certainly central and southern Scotland,

01:42Northern Ireland seeing a lot of cloud

01:44and outbreaks of rain on Saturday morning.

01:47A few showers across the northeast,

01:48quite misty murky around the coast here,

01:50but some brightness across the Western Isles.

01:52And it should cheer up through central Scotland,

01:54southern Scotland and the east of Northern Ireland

01:57during the day.

01:58Most of England and Wales will stay dry,

02:00but it will cloud over in the southwest

02:02with a few showers for Devon, Cornwall

02:04and parts of South Wales come the end of the afternoon

02:07and the breeze will start to pick up too.

02:09But for much of the day, it'll be a bit breezy in places,

02:12but generally the wind's a lot lighter than Friday.

02:15Temperatures similarly in the mid to high teens

02:18and in the south, we could get up to 19 Celsius

02:21in the hazy sunshine, so that'll feel pretty pleasant.

02:25More showers coming into the southwest though,

02:27and they don't stop there.

02:28They'll spread more widely across Wales

02:30into Northern Ireland, Northwest England,

02:32and eventually into parts of Southern Scotland

02:34during Saturday night and into Sunday.

02:36And then look at this, another band of rain.

02:38And this could be really quite heavy

02:40during the early hours of Sunday morning

02:42and then through Sunday,

02:43spreading more widely over Northern England,

02:45Eastern England, Northern Ireland,

02:47and then into southern and central Scotland.

02:50So the south of that, it'll brighten up for a time,

02:52but again, guess what?

02:53More showers coming into the southwest

02:55as the breeze starts to pick up.

02:57Again, when the sun pops out between the bands of showers,

03:00temperatures well above average

03:02for the time of year, 17, 18 degrees,

03:04and even across Scotland, 15 degrees is likely.

03:07So again, above average in those brighter spells.

03:11So it's a bit of a mixed picture

03:12through the course of the weekend.

03:13There will be bands of showers moving through,

03:15but it's always staying mild

03:16and it stays mild into next week as well,

03:18which is important, I guess,

03:20if you're on half term.
