00:00Good afternoon. Some big contrasts in our weather for the next few days with

00:04some very fine warm and sunny weather for many north and western areas but in

00:09the south heavy downpours. So far this morning we've seen a heavy rain and

00:13thunderstorms push in from the south and east through parts of Kent. They're now

00:17pushing into parts of South Wales and southwestern England. That's where we'll

00:20see the focus of the rainfall through the rest of today. However further north

00:24it's actually been a very dry start to the day. There's a bit of cloud around on

00:28eastern areas of the north but across the northwest plenty of warm sunshine to

00:33come and actually parts of Western Scotland could see some of their highest

00:36temperatures of the year so far. So a big difference from north to south. We do

00:42have a weather warning in force across southern areas where this persistent

00:45rainfall could is likely to bring further flooding issues and surface

00:49water as well could bring some travel disruption too. So make sure you take a

00:53closer look at our weather warning on our website and app for more details on

00:56that. But elsewhere as I said plenty of fine weather and it will feel very warm

01:01in the sunshine actually for many north and western areas northwestern England

01:04western areas of Scotland the Highlands in particular could see temperatures as

01:08high as 27 possibly 28 degrees later on this afternoon if you're sheltered from

01:13the wind. But the easterly wind will bring a much cooler feel to the eastern

01:17coast of Scotland northeastern England as well as some low cloud across these

01:21areas as well. But that will burn back through today but it's going to drag in

01:25again once again tonight. So more in the way of mist and drizzly rain across

01:29northeastern areas. This rain across the south will push into parts of the

01:33Midlands and more central areas of Wales and it will fizzle away as it does so. So

01:38there is some respite in the rainfall to come through this evening but still

01:41quite a lot of cloud around and after the very warm day today temperatures

01:44quite widely will hold up into the mid teens across parts of the northwest and

01:48for many areas. Slightly fresher feel though across the far south to start the

01:53day on Saturday. So perhaps a bit of a drier start today still quite a lot of

01:57cloud around for many of us away from the north and west but that's what we'll

02:00continue to see the best of the sunshine through the weekend. But more rain will

02:04develop as we head towards lunchtime and into the afternoon.

02:07Particularly across central areas parts of Wales and the Midlands as well we

02:11could see some heavy downpours as well as across the south coast. Now there will

02:15be some sunny intervals but this risk of heavy downpours will increase as we head

02:20into the afternoon across the far south coast of England. So potentially a bit of

02:25a warmer day across the south. Temperatures climbing up towards 20 or

02:2821 degrees but if you do get stuck under any of the showers particularly

02:32across central areas it's going to be a much cooler day tomorrow compared to the

02:36warm weather you're experiencing through today. But in the north and west another

02:40very warm and sunny day with plenty of sheltered sunshine but again across the

02:45east coast we'll continue to see that cloudier weather. But let's focus on the

02:50south or through Saturday evening as we see further heavy downpours push in from

02:54the south. Now as I said there is some uncertainty with how quickly this rain

02:57moves up and where the focus of the heaviest rainfall will be but where we

03:01do see the heavy rain across parts of Wales, southeastern areas of England, the

03:05south coast of England as well we will likely see some further issues for

03:09localised flooding. So please keep up to date with our weather warnings on our

03:13website and app and I'll see you again soon, bye bye.
