00:00Hello there, good evening. How much rain have you seen today and is there any more on its

00:05way? Well there's certainly going to be further spells of rain across parts of the south as

00:09we head through this evening. This band moving its way eastwards at times, pushing northwards,

00:13bringing some outbreaks of rain across Sussex, Kent, potentially parts of East Anglia as

00:17we head through the first part of the evening, eventually clearing away and then a second

00:21band of rain pushing in from the west, leading to quite a wet start across Cheshire, Lancashire

00:26for example, and elsewhere across England and Wales. This turning quite heavy at times

00:31and elsewhere, yes, there is a risk of showers, particularly in the west, but there'll also

00:35be some clearer skies where temperatures may just dip down a little bit more, particularly

00:39across the northeast of Scotland, but otherwise plenty of cloud which is going to keep those

00:43temperatures up. Then Friday looks fairly similar to what we saw on Thursday, bands of rain moving

00:49their way eastwards, but this time it looks to clear into the North Sea a little bit quicker,

00:54but still it is going to bring some heavy, potentially quite blustery spells of rain during

00:57the morning. And then it leads us into a day of further sunny spells and showers. Though

01:02across central and southern parts, fewer showers, so it might be quite a dry day for many areas

01:07and feeling a little bit warmer, temperatures a degree or two up and a bit more sunshine, which

01:12is going to make things feel a little bit more pleasant. Into the evening, still more showers,

01:18yes, particularly into the west, but they're eventually clearing away. But then once again,

01:23another band following on behind, more cloud, outbreaks of rain leading us into an unsettled

01:28start for the weekend. Once again, it could turn quite blustery at times, particularly across

01:33the south, and yes, there is a risk of some heavy and persistent downpours too. But once

01:37again, particularly across the very far northeast of Scotland, remaining mostly dry here, some

01:42clearer skies, so temperatures dipping down a bit more, but once again, many areas seeing

01:46quite a mild start. That obviously being offset by the outbreaks of rain, which are set to continue

01:51through much of the day. And we do need to keep an eye out on these areas of rain, particularly

01:56across the south, turning very heavy through the course of the day, potentially seeing some

02:00quite thundery outbreaks. So keep an eye on our social media channels and on our website,

02:04as there is a chance we could see some warnings. But otherwise, an unsettled start to the weekend,

02:09sunny spells, showers, a risk of thundery downpours, and temperatures once again, mid to high

02:14teens, but that being offset by the unsettled weather. Those showers eventually clearing away

02:20into the evening as that low pressure drifts its way eastwards once more, and then a slight

02:24ridge of high pressure on Sunday, so that's certainly going to be the better day of the

02:28weekend. But look out behind me, further frontal systems, further areas of low pressure bringing

02:33brought towards us, almost like a conveyor belt as the jet stream shifts them towards the

02:38country. So more changeable, more unsettled weather as we head into next week. But of course,
