00:00Hello. Following Friday's wet and windy weather, we see blustery showers through the weekend

00:07for most places. But first, on Friday evening, we've still got some heavy rain and strong

00:13winds clearing the southeast and for a time, the risk of gales through the Dover Strait,

00:1850 mph wind gusts perhaps for exposed parts of Kent. Once that's out of the way after

00:23midnight, clearer and slightly lighter winds, but for many it's a blustery night. There

00:28will be further showers into Scotland, Northern Ireland, western parts of England and Wales.

00:32And of course, with the keen breeze, even where we've got the clear spells, it's not

00:36going to be as cold as it was on Thursday night. We're going to see temperatures dip

00:39to 8 to 12 Celsius. And bright blue skies first thing through central and eastern parts

00:45of the country. But it won't last long. We're going to see showers from the word go across

00:49much of Scotland, Northern Ireland, western England and Wales. And through the morning

00:53those showers will increasingly start to affect other parts of the country. I think

00:59just the far east of East Anglia, perhaps the far northeast of Scotland, mostly avoiding

01:04the showers. Otherwise, nowhere immune. Those showers coming through thick and fast, they

01:09will be fleeting, so they won't last that long in any one spot. But equally, if you're

01:14in the northwest, any brighter interludes won't last that long either. It will be breezy

01:19here and that's going to make it feel cool, 14 or 15 Celsius. In the south, a bit less

01:24breezy and with a bit of shelter in between the showers, 18, 19 Celsius possible. So feeling

01:30pleasant enough. But yeah, the showers moving through quickly and furiously in the northwest.

01:38In the south, I think the showers easing into Saturday evening and drier for a time. But

01:44towards the end of the night, during the early hours, the clouds thicken towards the southwest

01:49and some rain starts to edge in here. Of course, with the thickening cloud, 13 Celsius

01:55in the southwest, a mild night. But elsewhere, well, a cool night where we get some clear

02:00spells and a bit of shelter from the breeze. Temperatures straying into the single figures.

02:06Now the rain in the southwest is carried in by this sliding weather front and there's

02:10some uncertainty about the north-south position of it. It's just about threatening to bring

02:16a wet day to southern coastal counties of England and perhaps south Wales. But because

02:21of the uncertainty in its position, small differences in the forecast will lead to big

02:27differences in the outcome for Sunday, whether or not it's dry or wet in the south. But it

02:33looks most likely at the moment that we will see some spells of rain and some thicker cloud

02:38affecting southern counties through the day on Sunday. And there'll be brighter skies

02:43the further north you are away from that. Further showers to come for Scotland and Northern

02:47Ireland, but they'll be less numerous and less heavy with less of a breeze compared

02:51with Saturday. So for many, well, northern parts of the country, a drier and brighter

02:57day, a bit warmer as well. But it's in the far south where there is that question mark

03:02about how much rain we'll see carried along the English Channel. Of course, we'll keep

03:08you updated on that and all other aspects of the forecast. You can stay up to date with

03:13those updates on social media. Bye-bye.
