00:00Hi there. It's been another fine day across many parts of the UK on Thursday with more

00:04on the way of sunshine. But we do have a slight blip in the fine weather as we move into tonight

00:08and into Friday morning. And that's courtesy of this occluded front moving in from the

00:12south. And that's going to bring a little bit of patchy rain here and there across some

00:16western areas. But you'll notice this large area of high pressure dominating the pattern

00:19still for many of us. So a bit of a wet evening across the southwest and across parts of Wales.

00:25Patchy rain moving into parts of Northern Ireland by the early hours as well. But for

00:28the vast majority of the UK, another fine and dry night to come with clear periods,

00:33particularly across more northern areas. And it's here where we like to see the lowest

00:36temperatures. So underneath those clearing skies, a frost developing across parts of

00:41rural Scotland and perhaps the north of England as well. Temperatures perhaps as low as minus

00:45four in some Scottish glens. But further south, because of that cloud around, generally a

00:50much milder night than it has been of late and temperatures in the south at least holding

00:53up into double figures. So Friday gets off to a somewhat cloudier note compared to late

00:59across many western areas. Still a few spots of rain here and there, particularly across

01:03Wales. But I think that will generally tend to fade away. And by the end of the morning,

01:09it should be generally dry across many places. And it's a lovely day on offer once again

01:13for the vast majority. Lots of spring sunshine. A bit more in the way of patchy low cloud

01:18developing perhaps across northeastern parts of Scotland. A bit of har coming onto the

01:22coast here and maybe even northeastern parts of England through the afternoon as well.

01:27But otherwise, lots of sunshine and that sunshine really lifting temperatures. So another warm

01:31day to come, particularly for western areas out of that easterly breeze. Temperatures

01:35as high as 23 degrees, so perhaps the warmest day of the year so far. But a very different

01:40story if you're on that east coast, particularly North Sea coast. Temperatures here just nine

01:44or 10 degrees, so feeling considerably cooler there in that wind. So through Friday evening

01:50and overnight, skies remain clear for the vast majority. It will be a little bit patchy

01:54low cloud forming across the Pennines and more generally around North Sea coast as we

01:58go towards Saturday morning. Further west, though, underneath those clearing skies, temperatures

02:02here falling a little bit lower and there will be a bit more in the way of a frost around

02:06as we begin the day on Saturday, particularly across Northern Ireland, parts of Wales and

02:10western Scotland. So a bit of a grey old start to the day on Saturday morning for many eastern

02:16and central parts of England, perhaps even the Midlands and Wales for a time. But as

02:20we go through Saturday morning, that cloud will tend to break up. So lots of sunshine

02:24by lunchtime and through the afternoon, blue skies and sunny for many of us, but perhaps

02:29not quite as warm as it has been. So temperatures in the south still perhaps into the high teens,

02:35even locally 20 degrees Celsius, but generally temperatures down compared to of late. And

02:39I think once again on those North Sea coasts, it will feel pretty cool in that fairly brisk

02:44northeasterly breeze. As we move into Sunday, well, there's not much change. Another glorious

02:50day, lots of sunshine and dry for all of us. Temperatures not quite as high as they have

02:54been, but it will still feel pleasantly warm in that sunshine with highs of 15 or 16 degrees.
