00:00Hello there, good afternoon. We got to 19 degrees Celsius yesterday and it's still going

00:05to be another mild afternoon, but more cloud filling the skies, particularly across northern

00:10parts of Wales, northern parts of England. This band of cloud and rain slowly edging

00:14its way northwards. Can't rule out a few showers across the southwest parts of Wales later,

00:19but for many, even though there's going to be a bit more cloud around, it still should

00:22remain mostly dry, particularly across parts of the southeast, East Anglia, Sussex and

00:27Kent. That's likely where we'll see the best of the brightness. Also some sunny spells

00:32and still some sunshine breaking through that cloud across northern parts of England. And

00:36taking a look at those temperatures, it is still very mild for the time of year. Highs

00:40of 16, possibly 17 or 18 Celsius once again, where we see that sunshine stick around. Then

00:46through into the evening, we'll see this band of cloud and rain once again continue to slowly

00:51edge its way northwards. That means it's going to be quite a wet start across Scotland as

00:55we head into the weekend. But for many, most of that cloud clearing away there with clearer

00:59skies, there is a chance we could see some fog patches by the morning and perhaps a bit

01:03more cloud across parts of Cornwall. Perhaps a few showers moving through here towards

01:07the early part of the morning as we find ourselves between two frontal systems. There's plenty

01:11of mild air still, so it's largely going to be a frost free start to the weekend. Plenty

01:17of low cloud and murk across Scotland to start on Saturday. Outbreaks of rain still continuing

01:22to edge their way northwards, moving into the Northern Isles as we head towards the

01:26afternoon. Still some higher cloud across the southwest, the odd shower, so any sunshine

01:31turning a little bit milky. But for the majority of the country, dry, bright, even some sunny

01:35spells and still very mild for the time of year, particularly across northwestern parts

01:40of England. Highs of 18 or 19 Celsius once again possible. Now, what about for the rest

01:46of the weekend? Well, we've still got low pressure towards Iberia, still dragging in

01:50some frontal systems to northern areas, so some cloud here at times. Once again, some

01:55cloud spilling into the south at times, too. But for many, we still remain in that milder

02:00air, so a mild night to come. A mild start to Sunday and once again, lots of dry weather

02:04around, lots of sunshine, so very settled end to the weekend. Still, though, those outbreaks

02:10of rain lingering on across northern parts of Scotland, perhaps the odd heavier burst

02:14here, but once again, very mild for the time of year. Highs once again could possibly reach

02:1918 to 19 Celsius, where we see the sunshine for the longest, particularly across central

02:24and southeastern parts. Now, if you're a fan of the milder weather and the sunshine, well,

02:29now's the time to enjoy it. High pressure around Iceland drags in a bit more of a northerly

02:33flow across the country, so drags in colder air as we head into next week. So a good chance

02:38we could see some sleet or snow showers, particularly across high ground, and likely we'll see a

02:42return of the overnight frost. So this weekend is the chance to enjoy the sunshine and the

02:47warmer weather. Bye bye.
