00:00Hello. Welcome along to your latest update from the Met Office. Plenty more sunshine

00:05around across much of the country today. It is quite windy across parts of the north and

00:09the winds will pick up again, especially across Shetland overnight tonight. And it's not completely

00:15dry. We do have somewhat wet weather in western Scotland. This big, long line of cloud is

00:20a cold front tied to a deep area of low pressure that passed over Iceland. It's continuing

00:26to drift away from the UK. But this weather front is slowly tracking southwards and it's

00:31already providing some pretty wet conditions across western Scotland. And the weather front

00:36is kind of stagnating, becoming pretty slow moving. So it'll stay fairly wet. But that

00:42rain may not get to Glasgow until the middle of the afternoon. We'll see some patchy rain

00:47trickling into the north coast of Northern Ireland as well. And actually in the far north,

00:51it should brighten up, although it will stay pretty gusty. Patchy rain getting to Aberdeenshire

00:55as well, but much of southern Scotland and certainly most of England and Wales having

00:59another fine day with September sunshine and morning mist and fog continuing to clear away

01:05and temperatures responding to that sunshine getting up into the low 20s, 22, maybe 23

01:11likely across parts of the southeast. Obviously, behind that weather front, colder air. So

01:15it won't be as warm here. And before the cloud and rain arrives, Glasgow and Aberdeen could

01:19get up to 17 or 18. But it will turn damp in Glasgow and Aberdeen and Edinburgh through

01:24this evening. Some patchy rain trickling across Northern Ireland as well. As it heads into

01:28northern England, north Wales, the rain band tends to fizzle out and then further outbreaks

01:34of rain come into the Highlands and the Western Isles. And it's really overnight that the

01:37winds will pick up once more, especially over the northern isles and for Shetland, gusts

01:41of 50 to 60, possibly even 65 miles an hour. Further south, the winds are a bit stronger

01:47than last night, but still light enough in the far south for a few mist and fog patches

01:52to form. And temperatures also will drop down once more to single figures here. But it does

01:57mean a fine sunny start because much of the south, apart from a few patches of mist and

02:01fog, which will clear. But a different day for south Wales, certainly more cloud in the

02:05morning with some outbreaks of rain and that damp weather will trickle into parts of southwest

02:10England during the day as well. So not as sunny here. Again, western Scotland looking

02:14cloudy with some outbreaks of rain. But large parts of the country will again be dry and

02:19bright on Thursday with some sunny spells. Quite breezy across the north. Those very

02:24strong winds overnight gradually easing through the day across the northern isles. Temperatures

02:29again responding to a bit of September sunshine getting into the low 20s. Again, 22, 23 is

02:34possible. Cooler further north, though, where we've got more cloud and certainly cooler

02:38where the outbreaks of rain in western Scotland. That rain perhaps pepping up a little bit

02:42through Thursday evening and spreading to more eastern and southern parts of Scotland

02:46for a time. But again, for the south, most places staying dry. And although there'll

02:50be some cloudy zones and some patchy, showery rain on Friday and Saturday, more particularly

02:55in the west, many places will stay dry with some more September sunshine and staying pretty

03:01warm as well. Some uncertainty about Sunday when there could be some showers around. More

03:06details on that. Join me later on for a 10 day trend that'll be available on Facebook

03:11and YouTube. And to make sure you're following us across all of social media.
