00:00Hello there and welcome to your Thursday morning weather update from the Met Office. It's mild

00:05and windy today. The winds have picked up overnight, even towards the south, so no problems

00:11with visibility through this morning. We've lost that low cloud and also fog. At the same

00:15time, this is a slow-moving weather front which could affect the Outer Hebrides as we

00:20head through Thursday, eventually the western side of Northern Ireland. But the wind is

00:23coming in from a mild direction, so temperatures well above average for this time of year right

00:27the way through today. And it's a mild morning across much of Scotland, a fair amount of

00:31cloud. That cloud could be low in places, causing poor visibility over the higher routes.

00:36The wind continues to affect Northern Ireland through the first part of the day, and again,

00:40fairly cloudy skies. That wind's also strong across Irish Sea coast. Now, further east,

00:45you can see clearer skies to start today. And in fact, once the sun rises, it's going

00:50to be a pleasant morning with some sunny spells. The cloud will break elsewhere as well. The

00:55wind coming in from the south, we could see some breaks across the northeast of Scotland,

01:00breaking up also across Northern Ireland, Northern England, Southern Scotland through

01:03the day, northern parts of Wales. Hanging on to some brighter weather across eastern

01:06counties and the cloud could thin elsewhere. However, through the afternoon, as the wind

01:12eased just slightly, we will see that cloud and rain gaining some traction across the

01:16Western Isles, pushing in across counties Tyrone as well as Fermanagh. And it could

01:20turn heavy in places through evening time. Before that, though, look at these temperatures

01:2415 or 16 across Scotland and Northern Ireland, 15 or 16 also for Wales. Northern England,

01:30we could see an 18 down towards the southeast. And it will be a dry evening across the bulk

01:34of England, central and eastern areas of Scotland. But the rain continues to make inroads eastwards.

01:40So a wet evening across Northern Ireland, Western Scotland, that rain extending across

01:44Wales, the West Country, central southern England towards the Midlands through the early

01:47hours of tomorrow morning. And it could turn heavy. You can see these brighter echoes representing

01:52some more intense downpours and the cloud and rain straddles north to south as it pushes

01:59slowly eastwards with showers to follow through Friday towards the southwest. Hanging on to

02:03some dry skies until later across eastern counties. This is a fairly narrow band of

02:07rain, but showery always across Scotland as well as Northern Ireland. Temperatures down

02:11a tad, so probably around 13 to 15 Celsius north to south. Outlook then through Saturday,

02:16another batch of rain comes in from the north and west. We'll see some showers ahead of

02:20it, but some fine and dry weather across southern counties of England and Wales. So

02:25that's another area of low pressure. And in fact, through Saturday into Sunday, another

02:30batch will move in. So rain never too far away as it pushes ever southeastwards. It

02:35will weaken, but that does mean on Sunday we'll see rain further south. It could be

02:40far, fairly patchy, hanging on to some brighter skies until later across the far southeast

02:45and always showery further north as well as west. For more details of your 10 day trend
