00:00Hello there, a very good evening to you. I hope you've been able to enjoy this first

00:04day of the long weekend, even if some of us may well have been stuck inside throughout.

00:09We currently have yellow rain warnings enforced across western areas of the UK, particularly

00:13for past the south-west England, the Banar Blacheniog in Wales, and the Moorne and Antrim

00:18mountains for Northern Ireland. We'll be seeing quite a lot of rainfall over the next 24 hours,

00:23so it is worth taking care and being wary if you are travelling about in any of these

00:28regions. Some very heavy pulses of rain will be continuing throughout this evening and

00:33overnight, generally spreading their way northwards, so certainly not ruling out some of that into

00:37north-western England, western areas of Scotland turning fairly damp as well. There may be the

00:42odd spot that manages to spread its way a little bit further eastwards, but generally the further

00:46east that you get it will be a drier night overall. For most of us though, it's going to be windy

00:50and also fairly mild, temperatures holding up between 6 and 10 degrees Celsius in our

00:55towns and cities. As we move throughout Saturday though, we end up with a bit of an east-west

01:01split in conditions. It's going to remain wettest across Northern Ireland and parts of

01:06north-western Scotland where that rain really will continue right throughout the day. It should

01:10be an improving picture for Wales and south-west England. Into the afternoon, the rain will ease

01:14off here and things should turn drier with some brighter skies arriving, but the best of any

01:19sunshine will be out towards the east of Scotland and England. Temperatures around average for the time of

01:24year, peaking roughly around 15 degrees Celsius. But with quite a keen breeze still coming in off the

01:30north sea, it is going to be feeling quite cool in places, particularly directly along those coastal

01:35areas where you are exposed to that wind. This area of rain in the north-west and its weather front

01:41associated with it will be lingering into the first part of Easter Sunday, but eventually it should ease

01:46its way off. But we have another system just moving into the far south-east of England, so some

01:51showery outbreaks of rain will be spreading into south-east and England as we head throughout the

01:55day. For most other areas in between those two systems though, Easter Sunday is looking like a

02:01very fine and pleasant day overall. Some decent spells of sunshine in there and generally lighter

02:06winds overall as well will make it feel a bit more pleasant. Still a bit of a breeze around some of

02:10these coastal districts nonetheless. Temperatures perhaps a bit more widely now, arriving towards that 15-16

02:17degrees Celsius mark. We may even touch a little bit higher than that in a few spots as well. So if you

02:21do manage to catch that sunshine, it should be feeling pleasantly warm. The brolleys though do need to stay

02:28on hand because as we head into Easter Monday, the showers will be turning more widely, particularly

02:33for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. They could be heavy in places. It's looking like Scotland on Easter

02:38Monday will be the driest of the nations with the best of any of that sunshine still making its way

02:43through. We'll have plenty more updates of what you can expect though over the next few days so do

02:47subscribe to the YouTube channel for those and we'll see you again here later on. Bye bye.
