00:00Hello there welcome to a Wednesday evening weather update from the Met

00:03Office. Through the next 24 hours we have a strong southerly wind delivering mild

00:08conditions across most of the UK. So windy already through Wednesday evening

00:14across the northwest with weather fronts close by but notice these isobars here a

00:19little closer together through Thursday bringing in that warmth from the south

00:23so if you catch some sunshine temperatures in the south could reach 18

00:27degrees Celsius 15 towards the north and these fronts gradually make inroads

00:31as we head through to Friday. For the time being you see where the strongest

00:36winds are Irish sea coast nor channel western coast as well. Now further south

00:40some starry skies and because the winds picking up a little bit we won't have

00:44the visibility problems we've seen through the last few nights certainly

00:47with low cloud and fog. At the same time though this cloud could be thick enough

00:52across Scotland for a little bit of patchy rain as this main rain band just

00:57nudges close by towards the Western Isles as we head into Thursday morning.

01:02Now under clear skies towards the south temperatures 8 or 9 degrees Celsius but

01:06notice across Scotland and Northern Ireland holding around 12 or 13 so it's

01:10a very mild start to the day come Thursday morning but it's also a windy

01:15one and also rather cloudy. We'll see some sunshine across England and Wales

01:19as the cloud breaks and just drifts across the sky and in shelter across the

01:23north and east of Scotland Northern Ireland as well seeing some brighter

01:26skies through the morning into the afternoon. So it's a lovely day to be out

01:30and about but watch out for that wind always strong particularly through the

01:33morning we may lose the sting in the wind through the afternoon as this cloud

01:37and rain just encroaches across the Western Isles and we could see some just

01:41moving in across counties Tyrone as well as Fermanagh. Elsewhere it's a dry end to

01:47the day as temperatures arrive around 15 towards Western Scotland 16 for Wales

01:5218 for the southeast of England 15 or 16 for Northern Ireland. So that's the

01:57picture through tomorrow afternoon. Through tomorrow evening and overnight we

02:02hang on to the breeze so temperatures still on the mild side but notice this

02:06cloud and rain gradually pushing across mainland Scotland covering Northern

02:10Ireland, North West England as well as the Midlands seeing some into Friday

02:15morning and this band of rain here even though it's fairly narrow towards the

02:19south we could actually see some some more intense bursts as we head through

02:23the first part of the day and it slowly pushes ever eastwards turning showery

02:27towards the southwest. So most places seeing some wet weather on Fridays

02:32temperatures arrive around 13 to 16 Celsius so lower than Thursday. Now come

02:37Saturday another band of clouds and rain moves in from the northwest we hang on

02:41to some brighter and drier skies further south as well as east and the winds again

02:45will be a feature towards more northern and western areas where that rain could

02:49be quite persistent showers ahead of it ahead of it across the north of England

02:54as well as Wales and some brighter skies further south and southeast

02:57temperatures here 14 or 15 degrees Celsius. I'll see you later
