00:00Hello. Welcome to your national weather updates.

00:03A bank holiday weekend for much of the UK and for most places.

00:07It's going to be dry as well.

00:09It was far from dry yesterday across the east.

00:11That line of cloud that brought the heavy rain has cleared away

00:14and a bit of a switch around today with most of the showers further west.

00:19Some scattered showers across Wales and one or two heavy ones

00:22likely in southwest Scotland this afternoon.

00:25Elsewhere, many places will be dry.

00:27Maybe the odd shower for southwest England, eastern parts of Northern Ireland.

00:30Some sunny spells in the far northwest and for much of central and eastern England.

00:34It's a much brighter day than yesterday with some decent spells of sunshine

00:38and temperatures getting into the low to maybe mid-20s.

00:42Cooler conditions across southwest Scotland.

00:45Elsewhere, we've got the thicker cloud across parts of Wales.

00:47Temperatures only really in the high teens.

00:50As we go through this evening, it'll turn fairly fresh fairly quickly, I suspect.

00:54We're still going to have a few showers around across Wales and southwest Scotland.

00:58They'll take a while before they fade away.

01:00Some may keep going overnight across northwest England.

01:03But for most, it'll be a dry night.

01:05Could turn a bit misty and murky across southeast England and east Anglia.

01:08Any mist and fog will clear pretty quickly on Saturday morning.

01:11But just to bear that in mind if you're heading away

01:14for the bank holiday weekend early on on Saturday.

01:17Temperature-wise, a pretty comfortable night.

01:20Certainly a lot less humid than it was earlier in the week.

01:23Temperatures across western Scotland through northern Ireland well down into single figures.

01:27A bright fresh start here with some decent spells of sunshine.

01:31As I said, some mist and fog across east Anglia and the southeast early on.

01:34That will clear away.

01:36Now, it's not completely dry on Saturday.

01:38We are looking at a few showers again, particularly over parts of northern England.

01:42Maybe one or two over the Midlands, Wales and perhaps even southern England.

01:46But I think here, few and far between.

01:48For the vast majority, it will be dry.

01:50There is thickening cloud coming into the northwest,

01:52so turning a bit grey over the Western Isles, the north coast of northern Ireland.

01:55Perhaps seeing a little drizzle later on.

01:57But for a good chunk of the country, it's dry, it's bright.

02:01Good spells of sunshine and feeling pretty warm as well

02:04with temperatures mostly into the low to mid-20s across the south.

02:09As we head through Saturday evening, a bit more of that thick cloud and rain

02:13will just trickle into the northwest of Scotland.

02:16And again, perhaps affecting northern parts of northern Ireland.

02:19Still maybe one or two showers over northern England.

02:21But for most, it will be dry and clear.

02:23Notice the breeze starting to pick up a little bit around some of the coast.

02:26That will be a feature of the weather, more particularly through Sunday and Monday.

02:30High pressure is moving in.

02:32It's building in from the north, however.

02:35And that means, although Sunday will be pretty warm, by the time we get to Monday,

02:39it will be turning a little fresher, particularly on these eastern coasts.

02:42And the isobar squeezing together along the south coast

02:45means here it will get quite gusty as well on Sunday and Monday.

02:50So high pressure is moving in.

02:52A lot of fine weather this weekend.

02:54Most places will be dry and bright with sunny spells.

02:57But just notice that some of the coasts will be a little bit windy, especially by Monday.

03:02More details on all of that, of course, if you follow us right across social media.
