00:00Hello there, welcome to your Friday morning weather update from the Met Office.
00:04It's a fine day today, it's a chilly start though.
00:08Temperatures plummeted overnight, even with a touch of frost.
00:11And so a keen breeze first seeing along this eastern strip.
00:14For most, it's a dry morning with some lovely sunshine coming through.
00:19Make the most of it all change into the weekend.
00:21And you can see that change coming in across the Republic of Ireland through the afternoon.
00:25Thickening cloud which extends towards Northern Ireland through mid-afternoon with the rain hot on its heels.
00:32Elsewhere, it's a dry end to the day, although you may find more clouds across Irish seacoast and western fringe of Scotland as we head through to evening time.
00:40Temperatures then 22 in the sunshine, 15 to 17 along this east coast and even for Belfast, 19 degrees Celsius here.
00:48Now through Friday night into Saturday morning, that's when we'll see the rain making inroads eastwards.
00:56The winds then pick up on Saturday with blustery showers to follow.
01:00Winds strengthen even further into Sunday with again a lot of showers in the mix,
01:04particularly across more western parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
01:09And it's a windy start to next week again with showers.
01:12So through this evening and overnight, watch as this rain arrives and extends eastwards.
01:18The more persistent bursts will be across Northern England northwards,
01:22but we could see some rain just across more eastern counties through the early hours of tomorrow morning into Saturday mid-morning.
01:31It will clear by around lunchtime with showers to follow.
01:34And these showers will gather particularly towards the west.
01:38Here's your outlook through Sunday.
01:39We'll see a strong wind here, touching gale force in places towards the far northwest with lots of showers in the mix.
01:47But further south and east, some fine weather, some sunshine, rather blustery temperatures, 21 but only 14 towards the west.
