00:00Welcome to your Friday afternoon weather update from the Met Office.

00:03The heat is building this weekend, but only for some.

00:07Not everywhere we'll see temperatures rising too far.

00:11And, well, the satellite picture doesn't look that promising for a heat wave, does it?

00:14With a big area of low pressure sitting out in the Atlantic,

00:17certainly providing some outbreaks of rain today.

00:19High pressure sitting to the south.

00:22Gradually, the high will waft some warmer air up through the weekend.

00:26But, in the shorter term, the cloud is providing quite a soggy Friday

00:30for parts of southwest Scotland, northwest England.

00:33Particularly over the hills here, highlands of Scotland, also seeing rain on and off.

00:37And we'll see patchy rain continuing to affect parts of northern Ireland.

00:41Some heavy bursts likely, mostly over the hills, pushed along by a fairly brisk wind.

00:46Now, I've heard the south sky is brightening all the while.

00:48Some coasts down to the west and southwest may stay a little grey.

00:52But, generally, quite a bit of sunshine for England and Wales.

00:55But, even here, it is quite breezy.

00:57Quite warm, though, across the Midlands and eastern England.

00:59Temperatures starting to rise, getting up to 25, 26, maybe 27 Celsius.

01:05Cooler on some coasts, but the humidity also starting to rise.

01:09Certainly not feeling very pleasant with the wind and the rain across northwest Scotland.

01:13That rain will continue over the highlands through the evening and for much of the night.

01:17In fact, the hills in the west will keep rain and drizzle.

01:20That goes for Wales, along with northwest England and northern Ireland and western Scotland.

01:25Should turn a little drier in the far north by the time we get to the early hours.

01:29Reasonable comfortable conditions here with some fresher air trying to get in.

01:34But, for most places, a pretty warm and humid night with temperatures holding up at 17 or 18.

01:39That's how we start the weekend.

01:42And, as I say, for quite a few of us, it is going to be a hot one.

01:45For most of us, though, it's going to be a fairly grey start.

01:47And it will be quite a damp start through central Scotland, parts of northern Ireland.

01:51That rain should be edging away to the south.

01:54So, Belfast cheering up.

01:55Glasgow, Edinburgh also looking brighter by the time we get to Saturday lunchtime.

02:00And a much brighter day overall for the highlands of Scotland.

02:02Still quite breezy.

02:03Quite a gusty wind blowing here.

02:05Quite a grey day over the far north of England.

02:08Rain on and off across Cumbria.

02:10North Wales likely to see a bit of rain, particularly Anglesey at times.

02:14But a good chunk of England and Wales will stay dry.

02:17And we'll have some sunshine, certainly for east Wales, much of southwest England, the Midlands, and eastern England too.

02:23And it's in this eastern zone where we'll see the highest temperatures.

02:26Likely to get up to 29, 30 degrees in and around the capital.

02:30But notice, nothing like as hot.

02:32It's 10 degrees lower for much of Scotland and northern England, northern Ireland as well.

02:38With more cloud in this zone here, feeling quite humid, I suspect, with temperatures in the low 20s only.

02:45So, the heat's starting to pick up through Saturday and into Saturday night.

02:49It'll be very warm.

02:51We'll continue with this zone of cloudier weather over Cumbria, bringing some rain and drizzle.

02:55Northern parts of Lancashire and, again, the far northwest of Wales.

02:59But either side of it, many places staying dry and staying fine on Saturday evening.

03:03A balmy evening, certainly, across the south.

03:05The winds will be lighter in southern areas on Saturday compared to today.

03:09Fast forward to Sunday.

03:11Again, a very warm night.

03:12So, a humid start and still this zone of cloudier weather over parts of northern England, north Wales.

03:17The rain should be petering out.

03:19But we may see another pulse of rain just pushing back towards northern Ireland later on.

03:24For most places, though, Sunday is dry.

03:26Again, a much cooler, fresher feel across Scotland and northern Ireland compared to further south.

03:30Where, again, where we see some sunshine.

03:33It perhaps won't be quite as sunny on Saturday.

03:35A bit more cloud around.

03:36So, again, that humid feel.

03:38We should still get up to 30, perhaps even 31 in the capital.

03:42Now, the peak of this current hot spell is likely to be on Monday, where central and eastern England will be widely over 30 degrees.

03:50And we could easily get to 34, perhaps even a chance we could get to 35.

03:55Again, most likely in the capital and that zone up towards Cambridgeshire.

03:59Always a little cooler around the coast.

04:00But even by Sunday, you notice that warmth has started to waft further north.

04:04So, a warmer, more humid feel across central and eastern parts of Scotland by this stage as well.

04:10So, yes, it is going to turn hotter, particularly so across eastern parts of England.

04:16Nights will be pretty uncomfortable as well.

04:18Lots of good advice about how to stay cool during hot weather on the Met Office website.
