A mixed picture through the rest of Friday with a weather front slowly moving across the country, bringing areas of low cloud and outbreaks of light rain and showers across Lincolnshire down to Wales. Dry with sunshine for most across northern and south England as well as Northern Ireland though some odd showers. Some heavy scattered showers across Scotland, perhaps thundery. This is the Met Office UK Weather forecast for the afternoon of 30/05/2025. Bringing you today’s weather forecast is Alex Deaki.

00:06The weather's a bit of a mixed picture through the rest of Friday. We're looking out to the Atlantic for the weekend weather.
00:12This big swirl of cloud is an area of low pressure, but before that arrives, we've got this line of cloud and this old weather front straddling the country,
00:21making for some fairly grey conditions across parts of Lincolnshire, down across mid-Wales.
00:27The odd little bit of rain in that, particularly across parts of Wales, over the hills, but many places across England and Wales dry.
00:33Some sunshine for northern England. Plenty of warm and sunny weather across the south. Quite a humid feel here too.
00:38Further north, we've got some showers breaking out this afternoon. Potential for some quite heavy showers too, perhaps through the central belt.
00:44More likely a little further north row, though, through Perth and Kinross, Angus and southern parts of the Grampian.
00:51Some heavy, perhaps even thundery showers breaking out here.
00:54The odd shower for Northern Ireland, but some good spiles of sunshine. Generally fine in the west coast of Scotland, where it is at least a little fresher.
01:01Elsewhere, temperatures, well, above average actually, and feeling quite humid, particularly across these eastern parts of England,
01:08where with a bit of sunshine we could sneak up to 26 degrees Celsius.
01:12Now, as we go through this evening, we'll see those heavy showers just drifting a little further north across Aberdeenshire before turning to fade away.
01:19So many places will have a dry evening, staying dry through the night.
01:23Likely to turn a bit murky down to the southwest.
01:26Mist and low cloud coming around the coasts of southwest England and south Wales.
01:31A little bit of drizzly rain returning to maybe western Scotland and west Wales too.
01:35But for many, it'll stay dry through the night and we've got that warm and humid air in place.
01:39Temperature's going to hold up.
01:40We'll see many places through the weekend start in the teens.
01:45So it won't be a chilly start to Saturday.
01:48A bit mixed again through Saturday with some places very warm and sunny, especially eastern England.
01:54Other areas seeing outbreaks of rain.
01:56Some showery rain moving into Wales, southern Scotland.
01:59And then this line of rain will bring a spell of an hour or two of potentially heavy rain across northern Ireland around the middle part of the day.
02:06And then turning up into western Scotland where the winds will start to strengthen.
02:10Some bright colours in there so that rain could be on the heavy side.
02:13And ahead of that, again, eastern Scotland could be favoured for some heavy, thundery showers.
02:18Maybe one or two of those across northeast England also.
02:21But again, a good chunk of England and Wales, particularly the southern half, likely to have a dry and a fine day.
02:27And another really quite warm and humid day.
02:29Hazy sunshine in eastern England.
02:31Again, seeing those temperatures easily get to 26, we could easily get to 27 in one or two places too.
02:37Cooler further west where we've got this brisk breeze and obviously with the wet weather and that windy weather in northwest Scotland,
02:44which will continue to track in across Scotland during Saturday evening.
02:48So still some heavy pulses around.
02:51That zone of rain will move through the central belt as well on Saturday evening.
02:54So something to take note of if you are heading out here.
02:56It does turn a little drier behind it and it crucially will be turning cooler and fresher behind this line of rain
03:03because it's a cold front and the fresher air will spread its way across most places as we go through the course of Sunday.
03:11So that warm, humid day on Saturday will be replaced across these eastern areas by something a little cooler.
03:18There will be another zone of showery rain working through on another weather front across Scotland.
03:23Perhaps some showers for northern England and Wales.
03:26Showers coming and going through the day for western Scotland and Northern Ireland.
03:29But again, much of southern England, east angle in the southeast, will be dry and fine with some pleasant spells of sunshine.
03:37A bit more of a breeze and certainly a fresher feel.
03:40Temperatures quite a few degrees down across these central and eastern parts on Sunday compared to Saturday.
03:46So a more comfortable feel. We will have lost that humidity as well.
03:50So it will be turning a little cooler, fresher through the course of the weekend.
03:53Some fine weather, but also some wet weather to contend with too.
