00:00Hello there, good evening.

00:01Well, once again, it's been a beautiful spring day, wall-to-wall sunshine in some places.

00:06That's away from eastern coasts though, more cloud here and I'm afraid to say there's more

00:10cloud on its way as we head through the overnight period, at first across Yorkshire, Lincolnshire,

00:14East Anglia and then eventually drifting its way further inland through the course of the

00:18night, leading to quite a grey start across the south-eastern half of the UK, but across

00:22Scotland, Northern Ireland, parts of Wales and Cornwall, a clear night to come, but that

00:26does mean it's going to be largely chilly, possibly seeing some rural frost in places

00:31by the time we reach the morning, but for many even under cloudier skies, it's likely going

00:36to be a chilly start to the day.

00:39So it is going to be quite a cloudy start across much of England and Wales, particularly across

00:43the south-eastern half, but eventually we'll see that cloud burn its way back towards the

00:46coast, particularly across the coast of East Anglia, Sussex and Kent, for example, too, might

00:51see quite a cloudy day across shorelines, but it's going to be an improved day across much

00:56of north-eastern Scotland, north-eastern parts of England, too. Less cloud and that allows

01:00temperatures to really warm up, so you're going to see plenty of sunshine and it's going

01:03to feel warm in that sunshine, too. Highs of 20 degrees across Aberdeenshire, likely

01:07seeing 19 to 20 degrees across north-eastern parts of England, but even elsewhere it's

01:11going to be a pleasant day, temperatures widely in the mid to high teens to low 20s.

01:16So Thursday is a pleasant day ahead and you're really going to feel that temperature difference

01:20across north-eastern parts of Scotland, north-eastern England, a good 10 degrees difference

01:24if you compare it to the day before.

01:27As we head through into the evening, once again, plenty of clear skies, so temperatures soon

01:30dipping away once again, perhaps some low cloud just creeping into southern coasts and still

01:34plenty of cloud across the far north of Scotland. Shetland and Orkney, for example, seeing quite

01:39a cloudy night and likely seeing some rain and drizzle by the morning. And it is going

01:43to turn chilly once again under those clearer skies, but likely not turning quite as cold as

01:47it has done of late.

01:50Now there could be some spots of mist and fog during the morning, but this should clear

01:53away fairly quickly and it's going to leave a fine and settled end to the week across much

01:58of England and Wales. Still plenty of sunshine, plenty of warm sunshine, too. The only caveat

02:03is across the far north of Scotland. More cloud pushing in here, turning quite breezy under

02:08these cloudy skies and also some drips and drabs of rain and drizzle just starting to clip

02:12into the far north and northwest of Scotland by the end of the day. But elsewhere, a pleasant

02:16end to the week. Highs of 21 degrees, possibly a degree or two higher where we see the sunshine

02:21stick around.

02:23Now as we finish off the week and head towards the weekend, there's still going to be lots

02:27of fine and settled weather, particularly across the south. But we're eventually going

02:30to start to see a breakdown as that high pressure sinks southwards. This allows some frontal systems

02:34to move in from the north. So it's likely by the end of Saturday into Sunday, we're going

02:38to see more cloud and also some more rain and those temperatures are on the decline as well.

02:43But obviously for more updates on that, you can subscribe to our YouTube channel and then

02:47you won't miss any updates. Bye bye.
