00:00Dull and cool for some today, warm and sunny for others.

00:04And there's some strong winds and a bit of heavy rain to talk about too.

00:07It's a very messy weather picture right now.

00:09You can see from the satellite image there's a big swirl down to the southwest.

00:13Angry looking area of low pressure.

00:16The isobars are quite close together, bringing some gusty winds to the Isles of Scilly.

00:20This weather front is arching its way slowly northwards as well.

00:24That is bringing some rain, particularly across parts of Wales,

00:27extending up towards the Midlands and eventually into southern parts of Northern Ireland.

00:32We may see the odd shower crop up across the southeast of England too.

00:35Meanwhile, further east, it's pretty cloudy.

00:38Northeast England, eastern Scotland staying fairly dull.

00:41A little bit of rain across northern Scotland.

00:43Meanwhile, southwest Scotland, northwest England, actually seeing some sunshine.

00:48And with some sunshine here, temperatures could easily get up to 17 or 18 degrees.

00:52We may see similar temperatures in and around London,

00:55perhaps also north Norfolk if it brightens up.

00:57We'll see some sunny spells developing in south Wales and southwest England too,

01:01but as I mentioned here, some quite gusty winds

01:03and a few scattered showers for Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

01:07As I said, it is a bit of a messy one.

01:09As we go through the evening, that arc of rain will push further northwards,

01:13turning damp through the evening rush hour across into the Belfast area.

01:17That rain will work its way into southern Scotland but kind of fizzle out as it does so.

01:21Looking down to the southeast, a bit more rain could push up from France

01:24and we'll see wet weather coming into the northwest also.

01:27In between, many places dry, some lengthy clear spells,

01:31still quite breezy in the southwest with the odd shower.

01:34But with lighter winds further north, it could turn a little misty,

01:37it could turn a little cool.

01:38But generally, temperatures still well above average for the time of year,

01:41double digits in many towns and cities to start the weekend.

01:45We're also going to start the weekend still with this rather bitty weather.

01:48There's more cloud and some patchy rain across the southeast and east Anglia,

01:53thickening cloud, strengthening winds and heavier rain pushing into the far northwest.

01:59But many other areas in between seeing quite a bit of sunshine on Saturday

02:03and the winds will be easing off across the southwest as well.

02:07By the afternoon, that rain pushing down towards Glasgow and again across Northern Ireland

02:11to also the winds switching direction in the far northwest,

02:15introducing slightly cooler conditions here.

02:17But again, for many, particularly the sunshine, light winds feeling quite pleasant.

02:21But with that thicker cloud, there will be some drizzly rain at times across east Anglia,

02:26perhaps Lincolnshire and the southeast of England too.

02:29That's likely to ebb away during Saturday evening as this weather front starts to push the rain away.

02:36That's really a line of rain.

02:38So an hour or two of wet weather pushing through southern Scotland

02:41into northwest England and north Wales by Saturday evening.

02:44Those two weather fronts then continue to edge away during Saturday night

02:49and cooler air following on behind means Sunday morning will start pretty chilly.

02:53But this is a ridge of high pressure building across the south,

02:57more weather fronts toppling in towards the northwest.

03:00So Sunday sees a pretty cold start, but generally a fine start with some sunshine

03:06and much of the southern half of the UK will stay fine and sunny all day on Sunday.

03:10But further north, the cloud will thicken.

03:12That weather system bringing cloud and rain into western Scotland across Northern Ireland.

03:16The rain will patch here across eastern Scotland and the wind starting to strengthen as well.

03:21Temperatures a little lower.

03:23We're in the cooler area after that chilly start.

03:25Temperatures by the afternoon there are 12, 13 degrees,

03:27so pretty close to the average for the time of year.

03:30As you can see, quite a bit going on with the weather.
