00:00Thanks for joining me for your latest update from the Met Office. A big change

00:04is happening right now. We've had high pressure and easterly winds bringing a

00:09chill and a fair amount of dry weather so far through February. But out in the

00:13Atlantic look at this big swirl of cloud or swirls really a set of areas of low

00:19pressure are being pushed in and they are bringing that change finally ousting

00:24the area of high pressure. Switching the wind direction which means milder air

00:28but also wetter air and many of us have seen some outbreaks of rain this morning.

00:33The damp weather continuing to track its way across parts of Scotland. Much of

00:37eastern England though staying dry. We've seen some sunshine here. We will see a

00:41bit more cloud moving in and rain and drizzle on and off across the Midlands.

00:45Turning drier for Wales and southwest England at least temporarily along with

00:48Northern Ireland. But notice there's more rain starting to usher in towards the

00:53far west of Cornwall by four o'clock this afternoon. Quite breezy still along

00:58some of these North Sea coasts and quite gusty around western coasts as well.

01:02Temperatures though are starting to pick up. One more chilly day in the east.

01:06Temperatures here only five or six degrees for most of the afternoon. But

01:10for the south and west look at that double digits and that milder air will

01:14spread steadily along with the cloud and rain north and eastwards through the

01:19night. So it turns pretty wet this evening for Wales, Northern Ireland,

01:22southwest England. That rain then sweeps across Scotland before midnight. The rain

01:26fairly patchy in eastern areas but there will be some getting to eastern

01:29England and then further outbreaks of rain coming from the west. Staying quite

01:33gusty around western coasts especially. Elsewhere though the wind starting to

01:37change direction no longer coming in from the North Sea. So it will be turning

01:42milder by first thing on Thursday morning. The temperatures are likely to

01:46be higher than they will be for much of the day. In the east seven eight degrees

01:50and further west will start Thursday in double digits. So yes a lot milder

01:56but it is going to be pretty drab. A lot of cloud around outbreaks of rain. A wet

02:00start for Wales, Northern Ireland, much of Scotland seeing some heavier bursts of

02:04rain moving in. Again maybe not much of it through the morning across parts of

02:08the east and maybe East Anglia staying largely dry through the day. But then

02:12another pulse of rain comes into Scotland, Northern England and Wales come

02:17the afternoon. Cheers up a little bit in western Scotland, Northern Ireland but

02:20then more showers coming here on a gusty wind. It also should turn drier by the

02:25end of the afternoon across Northern England, Wales and southwest England too.

02:29So we will see some sunny spells between the spells of rain that will be weaving

02:34in. And look at these numbers not seen these for quite some time. Double digits

02:39across the board with many places getting into the teens 15 possibly even

02:4316 Celsius where we see some sunshine. Obviously it won't feel all that pleasant

02:47when it's raining and when the winds are blowing. And we will continue to see

02:52gusty winds and further shower outbreaks of rain across Scotland and

02:54Northern Ireland during Thursday evening. For England and Wales many places will be

02:58dry on Thursday evening but behind me lurking there are more weather systems

03:03developing. So we'll see these weather fronts come charging in from the

03:07Atlantic as we head to Friday. The ice bars really squeezing together and we do

03:11have a Met Office yellow wind warning in place for parts of the west getting

03:15quite lively during the course of Friday. Those weather fronts will bring further

03:19spells of rain. Some question marks about how much rain we get on this weather

03:23system across the southeast. Many places looking a bit drier on Saturday at least

03:27before another low pressure and more weather fronts and more tightly packed

03:32ice bars bring another spell of wet and windy weather during the second half of

03:36the weekend. So it's a lively few days ahead. Aiden will have much more in the

03:4110-day trend that'll be available on our YouTube channel by Wednesday afternoon.
