Hi there. It's likely to be a grey start for many of us this morning, but the cloud will tend to retreat back to the east.
00:07
It will be a slow process in some locations. Eventually, most places will brighten up.
00:14
High pressure at the moment continues to bring dry and settled weather across the UK.
00:20
One or two exceptions to the dry theme, though, as we start things off, because the low cloud across northeast England,
00:25
southeast Scotland likely to bring a few drizzly outbreaks, especially over east-facing hills.
00:31
Elsewhere, a lot of cloud first thing, but it does, by mid-afternoon, generally retreat back to the east coast,
00:37
where it remains throughout much of the day. That, combined with the chilly North Sea wind,
00:42
is going to limit temperatures on that east coast, mid-teens.
00:45
But where we've got the sunshine elsewhere, high teens, low 20s.
00:49
Warmer spots, most likely western Scotland, 23 or 24 Celsius, and unbroken sunshine for western Scotland,
00:57
northern Ireland, parts of West Wales, and the far southwest throughout Saturday.
01:01
We end Saturday with blue skies for the vast majority then, but as we go into the evening,
01:06
as the sun goes down, the land cools down, we're going to see that low cloud of the east creep back in.
01:12
It's a fickle beast, and as a result, it's quite difficult to tell exactly where it's going to end up overnight,
01:19
but most likely eastern and central parts of the UK will see areas of low cloud,
01:25
whilst further west, it will remain clearer, and under those clear skies overnight,
01:29
temperatures dipping into the mid-single figures, perhaps a little lower in some of those sheltered spots
01:34
of western and central Scotland and Northern Ireland.
01:36
Where we've got the cloud, though, 8 or 9 Celsius, and continuing to feel on the cold side,
01:42
I suspect, first thing Sunday down that North Sea coast.
01:45
The cloud will hang around for the first few hours of the day before eventually lifting and breaking,
01:50
retreating back to the east coast.
01:52
Again, some cloud continues to affect the northeast of Scotland, one or two drizzly showers,
01:58
and there's always the chance of a shower breaking out across parts of southern Scotland,
02:01
very isolated. For the vast majority, it's simply a dry and increasingly sunny day on Sunday,
02:08
with temperatures similar to Saturday. We're talking about high teens, low 20s widely,
02:12
perhaps the mid-20s for western Scotland.
02:15
So, feeling very pleasant, but bear in mind, high UV levels where we've got that sunshine,
02:20
so you might want to protect yourself if you're spending time outdoors.
02:23
And then into Monday, Tuesday, the chance of a few showers here and there,
02:27
otherwise high pressure continues to bring dry and settled weather until the end of the week.
