00:00Thanks for joining me for your latest weather update from the Met Office.

00:03Plenty more sunshine to come over the next several days.

00:07But as always, the devil with our weather is in the detail.

00:10The bigger picture, though, does show where the rain is.

00:13It's out here, out in the Atlantic, a big chunky area of low pressure.

00:16And that is staying out here, really, for the foreseeable future,

00:20allowing this high to dominate our weather.

00:23We've seen this little low generate some heavy, even thundery showers over recent days.

00:27And still closest to that across southwest England.

00:31There will be one or two more breaking out this afternoon through Devon, Cornwall.

00:35And the eyes are silly, perhaps, but very hit and miss.

00:37Most places staying dry.

00:39With that high pressure sitting to the north, the winds around it are drifting down from the north.

00:43And that's bringing a chilly feel to the North Sea coast.

00:47And at times, a bit of cloud over eastern England, too, breaking up through the rest of today.

00:52But some of those eastern coasts may stay a little murky.

00:55And certainly, it will stay fresh.

00:57The sea surface temperature, about 10 degrees Celsius.

01:01So, we're going to struggle to get much above that right on the coast.

01:05These cities in eastern England should climb into the teens.

01:08But the warmest weather further west, and particularly today, across the south,

01:11where we'll see those temperatures getting up to 23, 24 degrees.

01:15So, feeling pretty warm here, whereas it is fairly chilly in the east.

01:19Of course, the temperature's irrelevant when it comes to UV levels.

01:22If it's sunny out there this time of year, you can be pretty sure you're going to get damage to the skin unless you are protected.

01:29So, slap the sunscreen on.

01:30Those levels are high for most of us.

01:33Now, the breeze will continue to feed the cloud back in across these eastern parts of England through the night.

01:38Any of those heavy showers this evening should fade away from the far southwest.

01:42Generally, clear skies across western areas overnight.

01:45But, as I say, that cloud bringing the mist and the murk back further inland as we go through the night.

01:50Temperatures dipping down into single figures for many.

01:53Getting quite fresh, actually, in western Scotland.

01:55Down to 2 or 3 degrees in some sheltered spots here.

01:59A different start then to Thursday across the Midlands since much of eastern England started the day drab.

02:05It may take a while for that mist and low cloud to clear away.

02:08And, again, parts of the east coast may hang on to the harm fret throughout the afternoon.

02:14But, generally, for most inland areas, it will again turn sunny.

02:18We're losing the risk of showers in the southwest tomorrow as well.

02:21So, for the vast majority, it is a day of sparkling spring sunshine.

02:26Right. Temperatures, though, perhaps not quite as high across the south.

02:29I think western Scotland may see the highest temperatures on Thursday.

02:3222, maybe, or 23 degrees Celsius.

02:35Most places around or a touch above average.

02:38But, again, that east coast, particularly if it does stay murky, temperatures could struggle.

02:43So, feeling quite cool, particularly with that breeze coming in from the sea.

02:47So, that's going to make quite a big difference.

02:48Again, quite a contrast between east and west.

02:51And, again, where we see that breeze could just generate a bit more cloud coming into these eastern areas as we go through Thursday evening.

02:58That will continue to be a trend in the weather even into the weekend because our pressure pattern is not really shifting.

03:04That low pressure staying way out to the west.

03:07High pressure continuing to dominate and mill around just to the north of the UK, allowing those winds to continue to feed down.

03:14And, at times, bring cloudier and, certainly for most of the time, bring cooler conditions to the east coast.

03:20But, that high will continue to bring much of the country more of that spring sunshine.
