00:00Hello, there was relatively cloudy skies throughout Wednesday for many of us, but there's a touch

00:06more sunshine on the way for Thursday. That is partly thanks to this area of high pressure

00:10out in the Atlantic that is trying to squeeze its way in and settle things down a touch.

00:15But throughout Wednesday evening, we do still have this lingering cold front that is going

00:18to be shifting its way south eastwards, bringing outbreaks of rain for Wales and England. Some

00:22of those could turn heavy into the overnight period as well, particularly across parts

00:26of Lincolnshire down into south east England as well. It's underneath all this cloud where

00:30we are holding on to really that humid and muggy air still. So temperatures here not

00:35dropping much lower than mid teens. So it's still quite a humid night, but further towards

00:41the west, much drier, much clearer skies throughout that overnight period. Still a scattering

00:46of showers want to push their way into western areas of Scotland, but many of us will stay

00:51dry further towards the north and west. It's also here where we are starting to feed in

00:55that slightly fresher air from the Atlantic with those westerly winds and so temperatures

01:00overnight dropping down to more 11, 12 degrees Celsius and a touch more comfortable for sleeping

01:05in general further towards the west. As we do start off Thursday morning, then those

01:10western and northern areas seeing a decent amount of sunshine. First thing, it's going

01:14to be a bit of a cloudy start across the south and east as that rain slowly pushes its way

01:18off. Could take more towards the middle part of the afternoon before it eventually properly

01:23clears off parts of south, south east Kent and Essex. Elsewhere, though, we turn into

01:28a day of sunshine and showers, particularly across eastern Scotland, down into eastern

01:32England into the afternoon. That's where we could see some of those showers really turning

01:36quite heavy, maybe with the odd rumble of thunder in the mixture as well. So do just

01:40keep up to date with the forecast into the afternoon because there could be some torrential

01:43downpours possible. Generally, though, for the Midlands into Wales, central southern

01:48areas of England and western parts of Northern Ireland as well. A decent amount of sunny

01:52intervals during the day should feel a bit more pleasant compared to the humid and cloudy

01:57skies we'd see throughout Wednesday. Temperatures just slightly a notch down compared to Wednesday

02:03now that we are in those slightly fresher conditions. But where you do see the sunshine,

02:07it shouldn't feel too bad at all. Highs around 20 degrees Celsius across Northern Ireland

02:12into parts of central Scotland as well, close towards 22 degrees Celsius for England and

02:16Wales. Will be a slight breeze across our western coastal areas that might just knock

02:21off some of those temperatures a touch in terms of how it exactly feels. But with those

02:26sunny intervals around, it does mean that will be plenty of late evening sunshine as

02:30we do head into the evening as well. Most areas staying dry as well, particularly across

02:35England and Wales. Just a scattering of showers still continue across northern areas of Scotland.

02:40Some of those again could be quite heavy and with the odd rumble of thunder in the mixture

02:44as well. Cloudy skies will be building for Northern Ireland, parts of southwest Wales

02:50and southwest England as well. But for the main overnight period, as we do move towards

02:54dawn, it should stay largely dry underneath those clear intervals. Temperatures again

03:00dropping down to around the low teens, maybe midteens in a few locations, but particularly

03:05for southeastern areas of England, it's going to feel that much more fresher and that much

03:09more comfortable for sleeping compared to where we started off on Thursday morning.

03:14At least in my sunshine, then first thing on Friday. But increasingly, we are going

03:18to watch as this cloud pushes its way in from the west and skies turn much greyer for

03:24a lot of us. This being accompanied by a fair amount of rain as we move into the afternoon

03:28for Northern Ireland, parts of western Scotland, outbreaks of rain for Wales, southwest England

03:33as well. Some particularly heavy outbreaks possible, particularly for western areas of

03:38Scotland, but eastern parts of Scotland down into eastern areas of England as well should

03:43stay a touch drier throughout the day, but still that cloud building temperatures slightly

03:48suppressed again underneath all that cloud, particularly for Northern Ireland into central

03:53areas of Scotland. But where you do hold on to some of that brightness further towards

03:57the south and east, still again a pleasant twenty one, twenty two degrees Celsius.

04:03There is further low pressure centres on the way as we head towards the weekend as well

04:06could also turn into quite a breezy weekend as well with a tightening of those ice bars.

04:11So do stay up to date with the forecast and we'll provide those updates across all of

04:15our social media channels. And we're back here as well very shortly. Bye bye.
