00:00Hello there, welcome to your Wednesday morning weather update from the Met Office.

00:04It's a very windy day today with wind warnings in force across the northern half of the UK.

00:09For the far north of Scotland, gusts could reach through the day 75 to 85 mph,

00:14associated with this weather front coming in from the north-west.

00:17Further south, covering the rest of Scotland, down towards Cumbria and Northumberland,

00:21North Yorkshire, Tyne and Wear, as well as the far north of Northern Ireland.

00:24Gusts inland, 45 mph along the coast, over the higher ground, up to 65 mph.

00:29So, some damaging winds through today, associated with the deep airy flow pressure,

00:33which is well to the north of the country.

00:35Even so, it's still producing some heavy rain across central and western areas of Scotland

00:39through the first part of this morning.

00:41Rain also for Shetland, as well as Orkney.

00:43Further east, cloudy skies, southern Scotland, as well as Northern Ireland.

00:47Northern England seeing a lot of cloud, and Wales, but from mid Wales towards the Midlands,

00:51eastern counts of England, even down towards the west country,

00:55we're seeing lower temperatures and some patchy frost.

00:57And you could even run into some mist and fog first thing.

01:01At least, though, despite a cold start across these parts,

01:04you'll see some hazy sunshine first thing,

01:06before the cloud gradually rolls in through the morning and into the afternoon.

01:10So, it's wet and windy across Scotland through this morning.

01:14You can see the heaviest rain always towards the west,

01:16but it does extend eastwards and southwards,

01:19reaching the central belt around mid-morning,

01:22and then sweeping across Northern Ireland.

01:25Now, you can see the back edge of the main rain band,

01:28that's where the strongest winds will be.

01:30So, you'll see the rain, it'll be windy,

01:32and then those winds will pick up even further.

01:35So, through the morning into the afternoon,

01:37you'll see the first of the rain arriving across northern counties of England.

01:40Further south, that hazy sunshine will tend to fade.

01:43You could even see some dampness towards the west country,

01:45as the rain clears Northern Ireland through the afternoon

01:48and pushes in across northern parts of Wales.

01:51In its wake, blustery showers across Scotland,

01:53a strong wind still here,

01:55and even some wintriness over the higher ground,

01:57and a cloudy and windy end to the day

01:59across central and southern parts of England and Wales,

02:02with that rain sitting over northern England

02:04and the far south of Northern Ireland.

02:06So, around rush hour this evening,

02:09you can see where the rain is.

02:10Wales, the Midlands, eastern counties, east Anglia,

02:13and it slides down towards southern counties

02:15through the evening and overnight.

02:16Even the odd heavier pulse can't be ruled out towards the far southeast.

02:20And then clear skies, a slight ridge,

02:22the winds ease a little bit,

02:23even the risk of some frost yet again across England and Wales

02:27through until Thursday morning.

02:29More clouds and some showers continue

02:31across northern and western parts of Scotland,

02:33and again that driving wind across Orkney

02:35as well as Shetland and Caithness.

02:37So, through Thursday morning,

02:40a cold start across many areas

02:42and some hazy sunshine.

02:44Thickening cloud will bring some outbreaks of rain

02:46associated with this warm front,

02:48and still a strong wind here,

02:49but coming in from a mild direction through Thursday,

02:52that rain covering northern and central parts of Scotland.

02:54Patchy rain towards more southern parts of Scotland,

02:57Northern Ireland, the far north of England.

03:00And then we're pretty much in warm sector conditions into Friday,

03:03but notice gusty winds across the Highlands,

03:06the Pennines, the Welsh Mountains,

03:08even the higher ground of Northern Ireland through Friday.

03:11A ridge towards the south,

03:13but yet still strong winds across the north

03:16as well as the west,

03:17but with the cloud we'll always see some patchy rain and drizzle,

03:20and the rain will intensify from time to time.

03:22And then some colder air sort of extending down towards the far north,

03:25but never reaching the south.

03:26I'll see you later.
