Transcript

00:00Hello there and there good morning to you. We start off this Saturday with a

00:04slight east-west split in conditions. Generally out towards the east it's not

00:08too bad at all but it's low pressure in control for western regions and this is

00:13providing more unsettled theme overall. We've got continuing outbreaks of rain

00:18across many western districts. Those will be heavy in places and particularly for

00:23Northern Ireland and northwestern Scotland they'll be continuing right

00:26throughout much of today. It should be an improving picture though for Wales

00:29and southwest England into the afternoon. The rain will ease and it will turn

00:33drier allowing for a few brighter spells to develop but the best of any

00:36sunnier breaks will certainly be out towards areas of eastern Scotland and

00:39England. Temperatures climbing towards highs around 15 degrees Celsius so in that

00:44sunshine not feeling too bad for the time of year though there is still quite a

00:48keen breeze coming in from the east and from that North Sea direction so if

00:52you're exposed to that it will be feeling a touch cooler in there and also cooler

00:56underneath the most persistent cloud and rain in the northwest. This rain will be

01:00lingering into the evening as well particularly for the outer Hebrides, parts

01:04of the Highlands and Argyle and Buttes as well easing off a little bit more

01:07overnight for Northern Ireland. We do also see another system just push its way into

01:12the far southeast closer towards dawn on Easter Sunday as well but elsewhere

01:17managing to stay dry. Generally not too chilly of your night. Our temperatures will be

01:22holding up around four to eight degrees Celsius in towns and cities though it

01:25will be a touch lower than that in the countryside and we may get close to

01:29freezing in a few sheltered rural spots. But for Easter Sunday itself then away

01:35from the far northwest and the far southeast where those two systems are in

01:38play it's not too bad of a day overall. There'll be plentiful amounts of sunshine for

01:42the bulk of Scotland Northern England down into Wales as well and generally lighter

01:47winds around tomorrow should make for a relatively pleasant feel as well. A bit of a

01:51breeze still lingering around some coastal districts particularly where you do have

01:55those showers and slightly longer spells of rain in there. But with the sunshine

01:59temperatures climbing towards that 15-16 degrees Celsius a bit more widely

02:02particularly for the northwest once the rain does clear off into the afternoon

02:05it will be feeling a touch more pleasant here. There may be a few spots where we

02:09even see higher than these values here. But the sunshine is not going to last for

02:14all of us as we head into the last stage of this bank holiday weekend. Low pressure

02:19will be returning and bringing more weather fronts our way so further spells of

02:24rain are possible and the showers will also become a bit more widespread.

02:28Particularly for England, Wales and Northern Ireland there could be some heavy

02:31ones around on Monday. It's looking like Scotland will be the driest of the

02:35nations and with the best of any of that sunshine still lingering on at times.
