00:00Good afternoon.

00:01Well it's been a bit of a slow start in places with low cloud lifting and breaking but we'll

00:06see a good deal of sunshine through the rest of this afternoon and that's all to do with

00:10this area of high pressure situated towards the north, the winds rotating clockwise drawing

00:16in a north-easterly flow so always feeling chillier along those North Sea coasts.

00:22But back to the rest of this afternoon, many of us seeing plenty of fine and settled weather,

00:27plenty of sunshine on offer but low cloud may just linger across those eastern coasts

00:33and with that north-easterly flow as well, it is going to be feeling rather chilly here

00:38but out towards the west, temperatures 21, 22, possibly 23 or 24 for western parts of Scotland.

00:47Now as we go through Saturday evening and overnight, well the land will cool and we'll start to

00:53see the return of this low cloud pushing in from the North Sea and further inland.

00:58It could be thick enough in places for some drizzle at times but out towards the west,

01:03that's where we'll hold on to the clearest skies and lighter winds and that'll allow a few mist

01:09and fog patches just to develop and perhaps even a touch of frost in some sheltered spots.

01:14So as for temperatures, like I said, chilly in the west but a cool start as we start Sunday morning

01:21underneath all this low cloud. So pretty grey and gloomy start across eastern parts of England,

01:28the Midlands and the southeast but as the sun gets going once again that should lift and break.

01:34It still may linger across those eastern coasts but for many of us actually it's another fine and

01:41unsettled day to come. There is the chance of the odd shower just breaking out across southern parts

01:46of Scotland and north western England later. As for temperatures, well it's still going to be

01:53feeling warm in that sunshine, 21 up to 22 or 23 degrees but where you've got this onshore flow

01:59across northern Scotland and down this eastern coast, always on the cooler side. Now as we look further

02:07ahead, many of us will see plenty of fine and dry weather but there is more of a chance of some
