00:00Hello there, welcome to your Wednesday morning weather update from the Met Office.

00:04For many it's a dry day with some bright skies, not the case across southern

00:08counties. Rain here and we continue with this showery regime across the

00:13northeast of Scotland, Northern Isles as well, strong winds. Now across the western

00:17periphery of Scotland expect some showers, they're running in across

00:20Northern Ireland down towards the Isle of Ann, a few for Wales, not as windy here

00:24and certainly a lighter breeze to start the day across much of England, central

00:28and southern parts of Scotland. But notice towards the south here we're

00:31seeing an area of clouds just spilling northwards with some outbreaks of rain

00:35and this whole system here will skirt southern counties as we head through the

00:39day. Elsewhere through the morning it's mostly fine. So let's pick up on some

00:45detail through the first part of this morning. For the north and the east of

00:49Scotland those showers continue with a strong wind. Showers will clip the west

00:53coast of Scotland, certainly the Western Isles and some running down towards

00:57Northern Ireland. It's fine across central and southern parts of Scotland.

01:01Now England seeing some fine weather as well as Wales but notice across the

01:05midlands, southern counties, thickening cloud then eventually some outbreaks of

01:09rain across the south coast from Dorset, Hampshire towards the home counties

01:14through the afternoon. Cloudier conditions across East Anglia, southern

01:18parts of Wales and the Midlands but brighter skies further north with some

01:21sunshine to end the day. Temperatures then 7, 8, 9 degrees Celsius, still that

01:26wind driving down across the northern and eastern areas of Scotland across the

01:29western side of Scotland towards Northern Ireland. Now through this

01:33evening and overnight expect further spells of rain across the south. It will

01:38bump up towards perhaps even Suffolk, home counties certainly, before retreating

01:43towards the low countries. Elsewhere a widespread frost will develop and extend

01:48southwards into Thursday morning. Showers continue across windward facing coasts

01:54through Thursday. Temperatures dipping close to freezing if not below, certainly

01:58sub-zero in the countryside where you find shelter under clearer skies and

02:02certainly with a lighter breeze. Now through Thursday morning that rain

02:07clears off the scene, brighter skies across many areas and even where you see

02:10those showers across Northern Scotland they'll become more scattered as the

02:14winds tend to ease away from Shetland. At the same time a fine day for Northern

02:18Ireland and Western Scotland and that's because of this ridge of high pressure

02:22which extends across. But through Thursday evening another area of cloud

02:27and rain will move in swiftly across the west pushing down towards the south

02:31through Friday. But some fine weather behind it even with some sunshine on

02:35Friday. Temperatures up a notch, 8 or 9 Celsius. We hang on to some wet weather

02:40towards the south through the afternoon but it will clear. So all in all some

02:44brighter weather coming through. Watch out for the rain through today in the

02:47south, those showers in the north with a stronger wind. All in all though yes we'll

02:51see some fine weather on Thursday. I'll see you later.
