00:00Hello. High pressure continues to dominate our weather but it's certainly not a sunny

00:05or entirely dry high pressure that we've got in place across the UK. The best of the sunshine

00:10remains across parts of Scotland but the gap in the cloud is becoming nibbled away from

00:18all sides and it's becoming smaller. So, really it's central and northern parts of the mainland

00:24of Scotland through the central belt, perhaps parts of southern Scotland where we'll see

00:27the best of the sunshine away from any lingering fog patches and it's going to be chilly in

00:32this area after a frosty start. But, Northern Ireland's seeing a cloudier day and the cloud

00:38sheet remains across much of England and Wales, albeit with some holes in it for parts of

00:42north and west Wales. North West England, for example, the thickest cloud will be in

00:46the south where there'll be some drizzly showers running along the Channel Coast and there'll

00:50be some drizzle for Shetland as well. So, all in all, a grey day for most, some sunshine

00:57remains for parts of Scotland where we've got the cloud, 7 or 8 Celsius, where we've

01:01had the frosty start. Some places we'll see temperatures remaining sub-zero into the afternoon.

01:08And as I mentioned, that hole in the cloud becomes increasingly nibbled from the north-west,

01:14the east, the south overnight so the hole gets smaller but still some clear spells for

01:19parts of Scotland, still some frost and fog patches through the hours of darkness. But,

01:25for eastern parts of England, we've got low cloud pushing in. That will result in gloomy

01:29conditions at the start of Thursday, some drizzly rain and some hill fog. 4 or 5 Celsius

01:35where we've got the cloud sheet, sub-zero where we've got the clear skies. So, some

01:41brightness there for parts of central and southern Scotland first thing Thursday, some

01:46lingering fog patches. Otherwise, a lot of cloud. That cloud low so it's going to be

01:51misty and grey for much of England, particularly towards the east of England. And the drizzly

01:55rain continues on and off throughout much of the day in these areas. A little brighter

02:00towards the south-west. Northern Ireland is seeing a lot of cloud. But for Scotland, we

02:04keep the sunny skies for one more day before the cloud here turns up into Friday. Coldest

02:12weather where we've got the sunshine actually because of the frosty start. Otherwise, it's

02:168 to 10 Celsius. And that brisk easterly wind continues along the south coast. Now,

02:23the cloud across the north-west of Scotland begins to sink south-eastwards on Thursday

02:28night. And the cloud towards the south drifts northwards. So, the hole across Scotland becomes

02:33increasingly small. Friday is looking like a much cloudier day as this cold front sinks

02:38south. That's going to bring some showery rain but it's going to weaken as it runs into

02:41high pressure. Nevertheless, the high pressure that's been in charge all week disappears

02:45to the east. Another high turns up but this one is going to be centred towards the south-west.

02:50That's going to allow some weather fronts to run in to northern parts of the UK increasingly

02:55through the weekend, bringing some wetter and windy weather to the north, especially

02:59western Scotland. Whilst further south, it remains a little more settled for the time

03:04being at least before much more changeable weather into next week. All Keep Rotated as
