00:00Good evening. A widely settled day to come on Friday. Plenty of sunshine to end

00:05one of the last days of summer. This evening though we'll chill off quite

00:09quickly. We've got high pressure building in bringing clear skies for

00:12many of us through the next couple of days but as we approach the weekend

00:16we'll start to see the threat of some more unsettled weather building up

00:19across southern areas on Saturday and then from the north and west as we head

00:23to the latter part of Sunday as high pressure pushes away to the north and

00:28east of the UK. But through this evening there's still actually some wet weather

00:32to come and a bit of a brisk breeze across the north and west of Scotland in

00:36particular where it's been a fairly unsettled day in fact and those showers

00:40will become more restricted to the far north and northern isles, the far north of

00:43Scotland throughout this evening. Elsewhere it will turn dry and clear for

00:49much of the UK. We could see some mist and fog developing for parts of the west

00:52country, rurally in Wales, eastern areas of England even and across the Pennines

00:56could see some fog patches first thing tomorrow and it is going to be a fresher

01:00night tonight compared to last night. Rurally we could be down as low as

01:04around three degrees for some areas but many towns and cities actually dipping

01:07down to single figures. However it will warm up relatively quickly because it is

01:12going to be a bright start to the day on Friday. Now I think the best of the

01:15sunshine will be through the morning, a bit more cloud will develop as we head

01:19into the afternoon but we'll also see the sunshine turn a bit hazier to the

01:23south and east potentially as a threat of the nearby thunderstorms does come a

01:27little bit closer but it's going to stay dry for most of us, actually dry across

01:31the far north of Scotland even by the end of the day. So it's certainly a more

01:35widely warm and settled day, plenty of sunshine across the whole of the UK.

01:39Temperatures across northern areas in the high teens still feeling quite warm

01:43in that sunshine though with light winds. In the south temperatures climbing

01:47towards 24 or 25 degrees so a slightly warmer day across southern areas

01:51compared to today with a bit more in the way of longer-lived sunshine but

01:56that cloud will gradually melt away through Friday evening to end the week

02:00on a settled note, another clear night to come and that will allow temperatures

02:05to fall away perhaps even lower than tonight. But notice across the south

02:10we're starting to see that threat of thunderstorms come ever closer. Now there

02:13is some uncertainty in exactly where we'll see any of these showers but I

02:18think if you're across the south you can expect cloud to build in by Saturday

02:22morning. Elsewhere though another clear and bright start to the day and as I

02:27said another fresh start as well. So it should stay quite dry and sunny through

02:32much of the day across northern areas, Northern Ireland, much of Scotland,

02:35northern areas of England, anywhere north of the Midlands really but

02:39anywhere south of the Midlands are likely to see some cloud building in

02:42through the afternoon and just a chance of some heavy showers but I think most

02:47of us should get away with a relatively dry day. So these showers I want to keep

02:51an eye on in the forecast through the next few days as then we will get a bit

02:55more certainty on them through the next 24 hours or so. So in the sunshine still

02:59a warm day actually across northwestern Scotland we could see temperatures

03:02climbing into the 20s and some northern western areas of England, North Wales too.

03:07Further south with a bit more of a breeze temperatures will be in the lower

03:1120s but still feeling relatively warm and that will lead us into another

03:16potentially quite fresh night on Saturday night into Sunday. There'll be

03:20more widespread showers on Sunday and Monday potentially but if you'd like any

03:24more details on that check out our weekend forecast on YouTube. Bye bye.
