00:00Hello there, good morning. Many of us have been enjoying some spring sunshine this week,

00:05but I'm afraid to say the skies may look a little bit different today. More cloud around,

00:10particularly across western areas where quite low cloud at times too, so that could bring

00:13in some murky conditions. Some outbreaks of rain and drizzle slowly shifting their way

00:17northwards, particularly affecting Wales and northern parts of England. But it's not going

00:21to be a total washout across much of the south and southeast, largely dry. Even some sunshine

00:26across parts of East Anglia, Sussex and Ken, and also some sunny spells at times across

00:31northern parts of Scotland. But for many, a cloudier day on offer. But taking a look

00:36at those temperatures, they're still widely above average for the time of year. Highs

00:40of 15 to 16 Celsius, particularly across the southeast. Then through into this evening

00:47and overnight, we'll see more of this cloud slowly shifting its way northwards, light

00:51outbreaks of rain and drizzle. That's going to lead to quite a damp start across parts

00:55of Scotland, perhaps even the odd heavier outbreak as it moves through across higher

00:59ground and a few heavy showers just starting to skirt their way into parts of Cornwall.

01:04But for many, it's going to be a largely dry start, quite bright across parts of the south

01:08and southeast too, and another mild night to come too. Temperatures widely in the mid

01:12to high single figures. So a wet start across Scotland, some heavy showers across parts

01:19of Cornwall, but through the course of the morning, any rain or showers largely petering

01:23out. And for the beginning of the weekend, it's going to be largely dry, largely settled,

01:27perhaps more in the way of milky sunshine across parts of the west as we see some higher

01:31cloud build through too, but largely dry and some sunny spells, particularly across parts

01:36of the south and southeast and still very warm for the time of year. Highs of 16, possibly

01:41even 17 Celsius where that sunshine sticks around. What about the rest of the weekend

01:48then? Well, for Sunday, there's still going to be lots of dry weather around. Once any

01:52rain across the north clears away. And for Monday and Tuesday, high pressure largely

01:56dominating. So once again, largely dry and settled, perhaps some outbreaks of rain just

02:00skirting the north on Sunday and Monday. But with high pressure mainly across Iceland,

02:05that's dragging in a northerly flow. So things are going to be turning chilly as we head

02:09into next week. So more sunshine, yes, but likely to see some quite cold days and nights

02:14ahead. Bye bye.
