00:00Hello, very good day to you. We did have some pretty wet weather earlier on today, especially

00:05across northern parts further south. It stayed largely dry, but the more persistent rain

00:10of that has now cleared away towards the east. That's along the warm front. Behind it, there

00:14is a trailing cold front that will bring a bit more rain to come, but we have seen the

00:19heaviest, most persistent rain push through. So as we go into this afternoon, all the time

00:24towards the southeast staying largely dry, some decent bright sunny spells breaking out

00:29as well. Otherwise, yes, there will be some further outbreaks of rain, but they're mainly

00:34going to be over the higher ground over western parts, a few sherry bursts possible elsewhere.

00:40Downwind of any higher ground, there's a greater chance of seeing some brighter spells, but

00:44like I said, the best chance of sunshine, well, in the far north of Scotland, but also the

00:48south-southeast of England. And here, temperatures are going to be at their highest. We're looking

00:52at highs of around 22, 23 Celsius, a few degrees fresher than this, maybe low 20s for some parts

00:58of eastern, northeastern England, if you do get any decent brightness. But worth bearing in mind,

01:03there is a blustery wind coming in. It's coming from the southwest, but actually, there's a bit

01:08of a muggy, humid feel to things. So yes, actually feeling pretty warm for many places. Then as we go

01:14through this evening and overnight, more sherry bursts of rain at times coming in from the west,

01:20south-southeastern parts avoiding this, so staying dry with some clear skies. With that trailing cold front

01:25that I mentioned earlier, there will be some more persistent rain across parts of northern Scotland

01:29and also a bit more cloud across parts of Wales, central northern England, bringing some further

01:36drizzly rain here. Otherwise, there will be some clear breaks, but temperatures not dropping much

01:41because of that relatively humid air. And so most places holding up well into double figures.

01:46So a pretty mild start to the day on Friday morning. Then as we go through Friday itself, well,

01:52we still have some outbreaks of rain across parts of Scotland. They will gradually make their way a

01:57little bit further southwards. So actually, we're kind of going to end up with three, maybe four

02:02zones of weather as we go through Friday. Northern Scotland having a good deal of fine sunny weather as

02:07we go into the afternoon. Then more southern parts of Scotland into northern England across northern

02:12Ireland, showery bursts, some bright sunny spells in between. Then across parts of the North Midlands

02:18into Wales, a bit cloudier here, some drizzly rain, particularly over any modest higher ground.

02:24Then towards the south, we're looking at a largely fine picture, not really expecting any rain to

02:30arrive. And there should be some decent sunshine and even higher temperatures than today. We're

02:35looking at highs of around 23, 24 Celsius towards the south. And those winds coming from the southwest

02:40still, but they're going to be a bit lighter on Friday than they are today. And so probably feeling a

02:45fair bit warmer for most, especially across northern parts where there's been quite a bit of rain so far

02:50today. Otherwise, then, as we go through into this weekend and it is looking like we're going to stick

02:56with that northwest southeast split. So some further wet weather piling into northern and western parts in

03:01particular as we go through Saturday and into Sunday. Saturday is looking pretty fine and also warmer in the

03:08southeast. Highs of around 25, 26, possibly even 27 Celsius. But it does look like Saturday is going to be the

03:15warmest day for sure. By Sunday, although southern parts still staying largely dry, it is going to be

03:21markedly fresher for all of us. For a more in-depth look at what we can expect through this weekend,

03:27then make sure you check out our weekend forecast, which will be available with Alex Deacon later on

03:32today. I'll see you again soon. Bye bye.
