00:00Hello there. Warm, muggy and a risk of thunder and lightning. That's pretty much been the setup to finish off the week.

00:07But is there a change on its way? Well, to start off, let's take a look at the bigger picture.

00:12To end on Friday, Friday the 13th, there is still once again a risk of some heavy downpours.

00:17Also, some thunder and lightning as this system pushes up from the southwest, eventually advancing northwards

00:23and then later on bringing that risk of thunder and lightning into northern parts of the country for the beginning of the weekend.

00:29Met Office warnings in force, so do keep an eye on those on our website.

00:33But nevertheless, it does lead to quite an unsettled start for the weekend.

00:38And why is this? Well, once again, it's all thanks to the warm, humid air pushing up from Spain,

00:43Portugal pushing its way northwards all the way towards us here in the UK,

00:47particularly across the south and southeast where it's going to feel particularly warm and muggy.

00:52So, yes, this leads us into further warnings to start on the weekend, particularly for Saturday.

00:56Quite a widespread thunderstorm warning across northern parts of England, southern Scotland,

01:00also parts of Wales and southwest England.

01:03So, yes, once again, keep an eye on our website for any updates on those.

01:06So, Saturday, yes, it does look like it's going to be unsettled.

01:10Outbreaks of heavy, thundery downpours pushing their way northwards do take care of travelling.

01:15It could lead to spray on the roads.

01:17Some quite large areas of water could lead to some localised flooding.

01:20We could see hail, lightning, but across parts of the south, southeast, also central areas of England,

01:26it should be a largely bright afternoon.

01:29We can't rule out seeing any risk of showers.

01:31There is still a chance there.

01:33One or two could be heavy, particularly as they drift their way in from the west.

01:36But many should see a largely dry afternoon across parts of the south and southeast.

01:41But it's still going to be feeling quite warm and muggy.

01:44Highs reaching 24, possibly 25 degrees Celsius,

01:47but still a degree or two down compared to Friday.

01:50But elsewhere across the north, a much fresher day to come.

01:55Later on into the evening, we do eventually say goodbye to that system

01:59as it drifts its way northeastwards.

02:01We say goodbye to the rain and the risk of thunder and lightning.

02:04But notice another feature moving into the northwest.

02:07So, cloudier here across northwest Scotland, western parts of Northern Ireland,

02:11a risk of some light outbreaks of rain as this system drifts its way eastwards.

02:15But elsewhere, once again, seeing a largely dry and bright day.

02:19Though once again, there is still the risk of those showers,

02:22particularly across central areas, moving into East Anglia and parts of southeast England.

02:26One or two, once again, could be heavy with the risk of hail,

02:30possibly even some thunder and lightning.

02:32But many areas seeing a much better day on the second half of the weekend.

02:36Feeling a lot fresher too, particularly across northern parts of England,

02:40parts of Scotland.

02:40Temperatures in the high teens here, still just creeping into the low 20s across the southeast.

02:46But it's not going to feel quite as muggy as it has done to finish off the week

02:49and for the beginning of the weekend.

02:52And then what's next?

02:53Well, we still have high pressure building to the south and southwest.

02:57So, lots of dry, settled conditions to come.

02:59But see, once again, across the northern flank of that high,

03:02still some frontal systems moving through.

03:04So, still a chance of some more cloud and rain for these areas.

03:07And although it will begin to feel a little fresher from Sunday,

03:10temperatures look like they are creeping back up again as we head into next week.

03:14But, of course, for more information on that,

03:18Bye-bye.
