00:00Hello. Storm Bert remains in charge of our weather at the moment, bringing strong winds,

00:05heavy rain across many parts of the UK. Met Office warnings remain in force over the next

00:1124 hours or so and you can see it on the pressure pattern. It just sits to the northwest of

00:15us, tightly packed isobars indicating strong winds. Strong winds particularly around the

00:20coast and across the northwest later as we head into Sunday as well. So, do be prepared

00:26for some travel disruption through the rest of the weekend and into the beginning of

00:30next week as Bert is only slowly going to push away. And we can see through this evening

00:35time a cloudy end to the day, outbreaks of heavy rain across many parts of the country.

00:40This combined with some melting snow across parts of Northern England, Scotland will lead

00:44to some further flooding in places. The winds remain strong, gusts of 50, 60 miles an hour

00:49or so around some coasts, perhaps easing for a short time across parts of Northern Ireland,

00:54Central and Southern Scotland. And overnight, it does remain unsettled with further outbreaks

00:59of rain. Temperatures exceptionally mild, particularly across England and Wales, 13

01:04to 15 Celsius as minimum. This is in fact well above where they should be during the

01:08day at this time of year. Temperatures also reaching double figures by the end of the

01:12night across into Scotland, Northern Ireland around 8 or 9 Celsius. Here, a bright start

01:17today, blustery showers, this spreading into parts of Scotland too, some sunshine. But

01:22a cloudy picture across much of England and Wales. Outbreaks of heavy rain pushing north

01:27and eastwards through the day, particularly across the west countries and southern parts

01:32of Wales, some local disruption possible. Perhaps some bright spells to the southeast

01:36of England here and to the north of it as well, seeing some brighter spells. However,

01:41as the centre of Bert edges closer to North West Scotland, the Highlands and Islands here,

01:46the winds pick up 60, 70 miles an hour. I met obvious warnings out for the winds here

01:51through Sunday as well. So there could be some disruption through the rest of the weekend.

01:55So it is worth staying up to date with the latest travel advice and also our warnings

02:00on our website as well. Temperatures reaching around 15, 16 Celsius across much of England

02:05and Wales. Again, double figures further north, Northern Ireland and Scotland, 11, 12 Celsius

02:10above where they should be for the time of year. Into the evening time, further heavy

02:15rain pushing eastwards across England and Wales, followed by something drier, but blustery

02:19showers quickly following in. It stays windy for many of us, particularly across northern

02:24parts of Scotland. Gales to severe gales here and temperatures overnight just dipping a

02:29little lower back into a single figures. But again, these around daytime temperatures for

02:34the end of November. Monday is going to be an unsettled day. Early rain pushing its way

02:39eastwards across southeast England, followed by sunny spells and heavy showers, heaviest

02:45showers and most frequent showers across the north and west of the UK. The showers

02:49also turning back to snow over the high ground of Scotland later as colder air starts to

02:54dig back in. Still mild across England and Wales, but temperatures down compared to Saturday

02:59and Sunday, 11 or 12 degrees back into single figures across many northern parts. So just

03:04feeling a little chillier. So there's a lot going on with our weather as we move through

03:09the rest of the weekend and into the beginning of the week. A storm, but slowly pushes its

03:14way eastwards. It is worth staying up to date on our social media channels and our YouTube

03:19channel as well. See you again soon.
