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

00:04Rain will be replaced by brighter skies tomorrow and a few showers.

00:08However, for the time being we do have two rain warnings.

00:11One from Manchester to Plymouth covering the West Midlands as well as some parts of Wales away from the West.

00:16Expect some heavy rain through Wednesday evening.

00:19Now this warning expires at 9pm but before that there could be some delays on the roads,

00:24with public transport, certainly tricky driving conditions with spray as well as surface water.

00:29And a similar situation across northern counties of England.

00:32However, this one goes out till midnight because the whole system is moving its way northwards as well as eastwards.

00:38All courtesy of some bands of cloud and rain, which will be heavy at times,

00:42eventually clearing towards the north-east and then a better day around on Thursday.

00:47We'll see that rain clear towards the far north-east of Scotland and then a few showers will move in from the west,

00:53but they will be fairly scattered, temperatures still above average for this time of year.

00:57On Friday this band of rain will eventually bring some stronger winds.

01:01A wind warning on Friday across the far north-west of Scotland.

01:05And these bands of cloud and rain push ever eastwards as well.

01:09Now for the time being, here's that rain.

01:12It's the wet weather extending from central southern England up across most of the country, covering Scotland as well.

01:18Notice some brighter echoes representing some intense downpours.

01:24So through the evening we watch as this whole system moves its way eastwards.

01:28So there will be a clearance through evening time across Northern Ireland, south-west Wales and the west country.

01:34But notice there will be some heavier pulses of rain across the eastern side of Scotland,

01:39down towards the south-east of England as we head through to around midnight.

01:43Eventually though, through the night, most of the rain becomes confined to Scotland

01:48as we lose the intensity and the distribution of the rain further south.

01:52Those clear skies then emerge across the Midlands, covering the Isle of Man down towards central southern England.

01:58Temperatures towards the east, still 14 or 15 Celsius.

02:02A keen breeze across the far north-east of Scotland,

02:05and the wind will pick up across Channel and Irish coast as we head into Thursday morning.

02:10At least though, you'll see some sunshine to start the day.

02:13The cloud across eastern counties of England will tend to clear,

02:16and we'll hang on to more cloud across central and northern areas of Scotland as the rain becomes confined to the far north.

02:22At the same time, a few showers will file in across the Irish Sea, Northern Ireland,

02:27up towards the western side of Scotland, and one or two could move in across the west country as well as Wales.

02:33But for many areas, it's a bright afternoon with some sunshine,

02:36although there could be a bit more cloud from time to time across east Anglia as well as the south-east.

02:41Temperatures then, well in shelter across eastern Scotland, 17 or 18.

02:4518 down this eastern strip with the wind coming in from the south-west,

02:4817 across Wales, 15 or 16 for Northern Ireland.

02:51So wherever you are, it's a pleasant afternoon, a few showers.

02:54At least though, there will be some sunshine.

02:57Now through Thursday evening and overnight, any showers tending to fade away.

03:01A quieter evening, it's going to feel a bit chilly into Friday morning.

03:04Temperatures a bit lower, but notice this next band of cloud and rain moving in.

03:09We could see some high spring tides associated with it as well.

03:13So strong winds, outbreaks of rain pushing steadily eastward,

03:16hanging on to brighter skies towards more eastern counties.

03:20And here's your outlook through Saturday.

03:22Those showers could linger across eastern counties before clearing.

03:25Many areas having some fine weather with some sunshine before all change yet again on Sunday.

03:31We see this deep area of low pressure move in.

03:34Expect some very strong winds, gales if not severe gales.

03:37Warnings go out from northern Scotland, down across Scotland, Northern Ireland,

03:41the tip of Wales and the far northwest of England.

03:44We'll keep you posted here on all our social media channels.

03:47See you later.
