Hello, welcome to your national weather update.
00:03
A dry weekend for most of us and a sunny one to come also,
00:06
thanks to a large area of high pressure
00:09
that's ambling in from the Atlantic.
00:11
These weather fronts close to the far northwest of Scotland
00:15
by Saturday will bring some patchy rain.
00:17
And at the moment, it's far from completely dry.
00:20
Through the rest of Friday, some showers
00:21
across northern England and central and eastern Scotland,
00:24
one or two for North Wales and the North Midlands.
00:26
But further south, it is dry with sunny spells,
00:30
a fresher feel.
00:31
Actually, temperatures in most places
00:33
below average for the time of year.
00:35
But some good spells of sunshine for northern Ireland.
00:37
Western Scotland could see highs of 17 or 18 degrees.
00:41
Further south, we're looking at low to maybe mid-20s.
00:43
But feeling cooler with these showers over northeast
00:46
England, eastern Scotland, still a few of those
00:48
around this evening if you're heading out onto the roads.
00:51
But they should fade pretty quickly.
00:53
So for most, it's a fine Friday evening,
00:55
a dry and a clear Friday night until that weather front
00:58
arrives, bringing rain into the Western Isles
01:00
and then the Highlands through the early hours.
01:02
That will start to lift the temperatures
01:04
as the cloud spills in.
01:06
But for most, ahead of that with the clear skies
01:09
and the light winds, it'll be a pretty fresh night,
01:11
certainly compared to recent nights with temperatures
01:13
in many places down into single figures.
01:16
So a coolish start to Saturday, but a sunny start
01:19
for England, Wales, much of southern Scotland,
01:23
eastern parts of northern Ireland.
01:25
It will cloud over for northern Ireland
01:26
with a little bit of rain and that cloud bringing
01:29
some rain across Scotland as we go through the day,
01:31
mostly focused across the far north.
01:34
But a few showers are possible through central parts
01:36
of Scotland also.
01:38
No such luck if you're after showers further south
01:40
that is dry, fine with sunny periods.
01:43
And after a coolish start, feeling pretty warm
01:46
by the afternoon, temperatures getting quite widely
01:49
on Saturday afternoon into the low to mid-20s
01:53
across the south.
01:54
Again, with more cloud further north, it won't be as warm.
01:56
We're looking at high teens generally.
01:58
As we head through Saturday evening,
02:00
any patchy rain across eastern Scotland, I suspect,
02:03
will tend to drift away.
02:04
But the rain will linger over northern parts
02:06
of the Highlands, the Western Isles, and the Northern Isles.
02:09
Quite breezy here also.
02:10
That's all courtesy of a weather front
02:13
that's just wriggling around through this weekend
02:15
and may well bring some more rain to western Scotland
02:18
on Sunday.
02:19
But for most, that area of high pressure
02:21
is just continuing to dominate.
02:24
As I said, just ambling in from the Atlantic.
02:26
So Sunday will again, for the vast majority,
02:28
be dry and fine with sunny spells
02:30
as that rain across the far northwest.
02:33
A warmer day on Sunday and signs that things
02:36
could hot up a little next week with potentially
02:38
in the south temperatures back into the low 30s.
02:41
More on that if you stay up to date
02:44
over the course of the weekend by following us
02:46
