00:00Hi there. One big difference today compared with yesterday is that I think fewer people will be affected by low cloud.

00:08There'll be a bit more sunshine across the UK, but still some low clouds talk about and it's mainly affecting the east coast of England

00:15with high pressure to the north and an east to northeasterly breeze, making it feel cool on that north sea coast

00:21and keeping the cloud onto some of these north sea counties. It will come and go at times, but yeah, that's where it's going to stay grey.

00:29Elsewhere, plenty of sunshine, certainly more sunshine to come for parts of the Midlands and the southeast compared with Thursday.

00:36And feeling very pleasant in the sunshine, 22, 23 Celsius, the top temperatures towards Wales and the southwest,

00:42and fairly widely high teens, low 20s, but on that east coast it's going to feel a lot cooler with temperatures in the low teens more likely.

00:52And then once the sun goes down, the low cloud in the east will tend to creep back inland.

00:56And it will struggle to get over the Pennines, breaking up a little, so more patchy across northwest England, southwest Scotland,

01:03into east Wales and the southwest, but certainly a fair amount of cloud appearing overnight.

01:08Under the cloudy skies, 9 or 10 Celsius, but where we do keep the clear spells, western Scotland, northern Ireland,

01:14west Wales and the southwest, more like the mid-single figures, so a cold start in places.

01:19First thing this weekend, plenty of sunshine nevertheless for northern Ireland, western Scotland, west Wales into Cornwall.

01:26The thick cloud elsewhere will give a few spots of drizzle across some of the eastern parts of the Pennines,

01:32North York Moors for example, before it then tends to retreat back to the coast,

01:36although some patches will remain I suspect, and there's a little bit of uncertainty once again about the extent to which

01:42the low cloud will return to the east coast, and as we go into the afternoon, plenty of sunny skies return

01:50widely, just some patches of cloud here and there, but otherwise it's going to be a pleasant enough afternoon.

01:57Again, 20, 21, 22 Celsius in places, but again that cool breeze coming down the North Sea

02:04to affect coastal parts of England and Scotland.

02:07Then on Saturday night, it's likely that we'll see a repeat performance, areas of low cloud in the North Sea

02:14coming inland to an uncertain extent I would say, and then on Sunday retreating back towards the east coast.

02:23But it stays dry, it stays settled throughout the weekend, and there will be plenty of sunshine away from that east coast.

02:31We keep high pressure into the start of next week, but there will be a few showers around on Monday and Tuesday

02:36before a more definitive change at the end of next week.

02:40Bye-bye.
