00:00Hello, there. Welcome to your latest Met Office forecast. High pressure continues to dominate

00:06the weather scene at the moment and will do for much of next week as well. Currently,

00:10though, sat to the north of the U.K., it means an easterly breeze. It's quite strong at times

00:14too and anywhere exposed to that easterly breeze along the East Coast, it will be chilly.

00:18But it generally stays dry and settled right through the rest of the weekend and into next

00:22week as well. So, let's look at the details for Saturday

00:25afternoon. Plenty of blue skies across the country, though, there are some exceptions

00:30and that's north-east England across into eastern and north-eastern Scotland, Shetland

00:34and Orkney as well, seeing some clouds. Some of this will be low cloud at times too. So,

00:39there may be limited amounts of sunshine here, but elsewhere plenty of blue skies, perhaps

00:43a little bit of high cloud at times, a little bit of cumulus bubbling up, but it's easterly

00:48breeze that will be noticeable particularly across western parts of the country, Wales,

00:52south-west England, gusts here around 35, 40 miles an hour possible, which exposed to

00:56it may just feel a little bit chilly. But in that sunshine, temperatures not quite as

01:01high as yesterday, but still reaching the low 20s, 21, 22 Celsius possible for one or

01:06two spots. But just notice the east temperatures here struggling a little bit, perhaps one

01:11or two areas just staying in single figures where we don't see much sunshine at all and

01:16a little bit cooler for Northern Ireland, western parts of Scotland too. But for most

01:20it's dry and sunny and sunshine is increasing in strength at this time of the year for most

01:26moderate levels four or five, just a little bit lower in the north-east where we have

01:31that cloud cover. So, into the evening time, it's a fine end to the day for many. Lots

01:37of sunshine before dusk. The wind starts to ease a little bit, but just notice as we head

01:42through the latter part of the evening into the early hours, some low cloud moves back

01:46inland across parts of Northern England and Scotland as well. And it's a little bit of

01:50blue on the map there indicating temperatures dipping close to if not just below freezing,

01:55so patchy frost forming. So, gardeners beware here. Elsewhere, a few shallow mist and fog

02:00patches forming, but temperatures should stay above freezing for most. Again, prone at country

02:05spots perhaps just getting close to freezing. But that means for most a lovely sunny start

02:10to the day on Sunday. Blue skies for all, just a little bit of low cloud initially,

02:15but they're soon clearing away in the low cloud across northern and eastern parts of

02:19Scotland, just generally pushing its way northwards. So, generally the cloudiest skies for parts

02:23of Orkney and Shetland, but hopefully some brighter spells at times too. The sunshine

02:27turning hazy at times across eastern England into Scotland, but for most, again, lots of

02:32blue skies, lots of sunshine to come. And wind's just a little lighter tomorrow compared

02:38to today. And temperatures overall, again, high teens, just down maybe a notch on Saturday's

02:44maximum temperatures, but perhaps one or two spots getting close to 20 Celsius. And

02:48the east here, temperatures again with the winds coming off the North Sea, struggling

02:52around 10, 11 Celsius, perhaps some low cloud developing at times. But I'm hopeful most

02:57places will be sunny. At this time of the year, lots of sunshine around, pollen levels

03:03start to rise, and it's tree pollen at the moment, generally high to very high levels

03:07across England and Wales, just a little lower further north across Northern Ireland and

03:12Scotland. Into the evening on Sunday, a fine end to the day for many, just perhaps some

03:17mist and fog patches forming as temperatures fall away into the early hours, and again

03:22a frost forming in places too. If you'd like more information on the weather where you

03:27are for the next few days, the rest of the weekend, you can follow us on our social media
