00:00Hello there, good evening.

00:02It should be a dry and fine end to the day across central and southern parts, but is

00:06there something more unsettled on its way?

00:08Well, it's certainly going to be an unsettled end to the day across the northern half of

00:12the UK.

00:13More cloud and some showery outbreaks drifting their way eastwards here, before more persistent

00:18outbreaks of rain pushing its way into Scotland through the early hours of the morning.

00:22This likely to turn heavy and rather blustery by the time we reach the early hours of the

00:27morning.

00:28But elsewhere, further south, it should remain dry, fairly clear as well, and overnight

00:32lows reaching around 11 to 12 degrees Celsius.

00:37Heading into Friday, and it's likely we'll see a bit of a north-south split in the weather.

00:43Very unsettled across Scotland, Northern Ireland, and eventually pushing into northern parts

00:47of England.

00:48The rain particularly persistent across western parts of Scotland, where we do have a yellow

00:53weather warning in force for heavy rain, and that will continue to push its way into northern

00:57parts of England, northern parts of Wales as we head into the afternoon.

01:01But to the south of this, once again, it should be a dry and bright end to the week.

01:05Light winds, and it is going to be feeling warm in that sunshine.

01:09Highs reaching around 25 to 26 degrees Celsius here, but feeling a lot fresher in the north.

01:16Highs reaching around the mid to high teens here.

01:20Friday evening, we will continue to see those outbreaks of rain, and they'll start to push

01:24their way southwards into central and southern parts of the UK, leading to quite a damp start

01:30as we head into Saturday morning, where the rain once again is likely to be quite persistent,

01:35and it's also going to be quite blustery as we head through into the morning.

01:39Another thing to note is that fresher feel to the air is not going to last.

01:43By the time we reach Saturday morning, it's going to return to that muggy, uncomfortable

01:48feel, with overnight lows across central and southern parts not really pushing much past

01:5215 to 16 degrees Celsius, so it's going to be another mild, if not quite warm start

01:58as we head into Saturday.

02:00And the rain is also set to continue, once again, mostly persistent across western parts

02:05of Scotland, where we'll still have that warning in force, but also across Wales, across the

02:09south, we're likely to see the rain through much of the day.

02:13Any brightness is likely to be to the east of any high ground, and across eastern areas,

02:18eastern parts of Yorkshire, parts of Lincolnshire, and also East Anglia could see some brighter

02:23spells by the afternoon, but western areas, that rain is likely to persist through much

02:28of the day.

02:29So it is going to be an unsettled start to the weekend, it's going to continue to feel warm

02:33and muggy through much of the day, highs reaching around 24 degrees Celsius.

02:38Now if you want more information on this weekend's weather, well don't forget on YouTube, you
