00:00Hi there, good morning. It's not the brightest of mornings for most of us.

00:05Some cloud breaks around but for the vast majority we've seen low cloud

00:10become increasingly extensive across the UK over the last few days.

00:14Yes, much of England and Wales has seen that low cloud earlier in the week

00:17but over the last couple of days that's spread to much of Northern Ireland and Scotland.

00:21The low cloud covering the hills, bringing misty conditions, bringing drizzle as well here and there

00:26and some more persistent rain into the far north-west by the end of the afternoon along with gusty winds.

00:32Either way, five to eight Celsius under that cloud cover is not going to feel very pleasant.

00:38Some brighter interludes coming through from time to time, Northern Ireland, parts of central,

00:43north-east Scotland for example, otherwise it's just generally a cloudy day

00:48with these outbreaks of rain in the north-west of Scotland spilling into the rest of Scotland

00:52and Northern Ireland through the evening before generally petering out

00:56as it merges into the more general cloud and drizzly rain elsewhere.

01:01So that by the end of Friday night, Saturday morning starts off with a lot of cloud for England and Wales

01:06and some outbreaks of light rain and drizzle while Scotland and Northern Ireland

01:10are into a north-westerly, showery airflow.

01:14Those showers more frequent across western Scotland than eastern parts of Scotland

01:19where there will be some clear spells and perhaps a touch of frost first thing Saturday under those clearer skies.

01:25Four to six Celsius where we've got the cloud elsewhere

01:29and it is going to be a generally cloudy start to the weekend

01:34but brighter skies are turning up from the north-west and certainly the eastern parts of the UK

01:39into the south by the afternoon with some decent sunny spells coming through.

01:43Showers easing as well after quite a number of them across western parts early in the day

01:48but by Saturday afternoon, Northern Ireland and Scotland end up rather cloudy once again

01:53with more persistent rain returning into western Scotland.

01:57But as that rain arrives, it is going to be turning a little milder.

02:01Further south, a reasonable end to Saturday with some sunny spells and eight or nine Celsius.

02:08But the rain in western Scotland, well that's just the start.

02:13It is going to turn increasingly unsettled for western Scotland

02:17with outbreaks of heavy rain through Sunday and into the start of next week.

02:21However, as these Atlantic westerlies return, it's also going to turn much milder.

02:26We'll have more, as always, on our YouTube channel. Bye bye.
