00:05Will the sunny weather continue?

00:07Well, mostly yes, but there's always one or two exceptions.

00:11Certainly far from sunny across Spain and Portugal,

00:13this low pressure bringing more wet and windy weather.

00:15But we're more interested in this chunky area

00:17of high pressure.

00:18That's why the weather is so fine and settled.

00:20But with the winds going clockwise

00:23around high pressure, it is drawing down

00:25the air from the North Sea.

00:27So that is going to generate quite a bit of cloud,

00:29I suspect, on Saturday morning across these eastern parts

00:32of parts of the Midlands, certainly

00:33much of eastern England, eastern Scotland,

00:35likely to be pretty dull first thing on Saturday morning.

00:39Hint of frost there across parts of Scotland, too.

00:42So a coolish start.

00:43But as we go through the day, that cloud

00:45should tend to melt away.

00:46Certainly for most inland areas, there is always

00:49the threat that some of this low cloud

00:51could stick to some of the coasts, some har and sea

00:54threat at times, particularly from Yorkshire northwards

00:56and across eastern Scotland.

00:58So it may be a little grey on some of these North Sea coasts.

01:01But for many, it is another day of sparkling spring sunshine.

01:06Still a bit of a breeze blowing.

01:08But after that chilly start, temperatures

01:10will be on the rise, not as warm as Friday.

01:12And the South likely to see temperatures

01:14getting into the maybe high teens, 17, 18 degrees Celsius.

01:18But quite a contrast.

01:20Well, we've got the breeze coming in from the North Sea.

01:21North Sea pretty cold at this time of year.

01:23Temperatures may struggle to reach double figures,

01:26and particularly if it does stay dull and misty

01:29with that har and fret.

01:31So quite a contrast in the temperatures.

01:33If we compare them to the average for April,

01:36you can see that South Wales, southern England,

01:39quite a bit above the average for the time of year,

01:41whereas that's east coast will be below average.

01:44And parts of western Scotland, you

01:46notice in these orange colours.

01:47So quite a contrast between east and west,

01:49where we see the sunshine, where we've got that breeze coming

01:52in from the North Sea.

01:53Now, speaking of the breeze, it will make a difference

01:55in the feel of the day.

01:56So these are the feels like temperature

01:58when you add on that wind.

01:59So even though we'll see temperatures in the high teens

02:02across the South, because there'll still

02:04be a noticeable breeze blowing, it'll

02:06feel more like the low teens.

02:09Now, that breeze will continue as we

02:10go through Saturday night and into Sunday.

02:13The high pressure is still around,

02:14but it does start to shift a little further south.

02:17So a subtle shift in the wind direction.

02:20Rather than coming from the northeast,

02:22more coming from the southeast.

02:24And that will shift where we see the cloud coming in

02:27through the night.

02:28So perhaps not as dull to begin with across parts

02:31of eastern England, but always like to feed some cloud again

02:35into parts of eastern Scotland, maybe across the northern isles,

02:38which will again burn back to the coast,

02:40but still may stick on some coasts.

02:43For many, though, it's another day

02:45of blue sky and lots of sunshine.

02:46The wind's a little bit lighter, but cooler air in place.

02:49So temperatures probably not as high in the South,

02:5315 or 16 degrees Celsius, but the wind won't be as strong.

02:56So those two may well compensate and probably

02:59feel pretty similar.

03:00But you will notice, again, some of these North Sea coasts,

03:03particularly with that breeze coming into Aberdeenshire,

03:06struggling to reach double digits further south.

03:09Perhaps not as cold, because the wind won't be quite so brisk.

03:12But generally, plenty of sunshine

03:14on offer through the course of this weekend.

03:16UV levels are creeping up, so take note of that.

03:19You may need the sunscreen on this weekend.

03:21And temperatures may well creep up

03:22as we go into next week, which for many schools

03:25is the first week of the Easter holidays.
