00:00Hello and a very good morning to you. It will be a damp start for some across the UK but

00:05for many it's a fairly settled picture and that's due to this ridge of high pressure

00:09that we have extending across most of the UK through Thursday and when you have a ridge

00:13of high pressure it just acts to suppress the weather a little more than we've seen

00:17recently. Later on Thursday though this frontal system arrives from the west and steadily

00:21moves eastwards and as it does so it'll introduce some further cloud and some rain. Further south

00:26though where we've still got that ridge dominating there will only be fairly light and patchy

00:31rain. Back to this morning though so there will be a few damp spots and this is the area of rain I was

00:37talking about pushing into Lincolnshire and through East Anglia and down into London by the time we

00:41head later on through the morning into the early afternoon but elsewhere across the UK there will

00:45still be some cloud around and some showers but they won't be as intense as we've seen on some

00:51days recently and particularly for parts of Devon and Cornwall, Wales, Cumbria and western Scotland

00:56in particular we'll be seeing fairly decent sunny spells and with light winds feeling quite pleasant

01:01on Thursday. And in those temperatures so further north 18 to 20 degrees but further south we do see

01:08those slightly warmer temperatures 24 perhaps even 25 degrees on the south coast and in that sunshine

01:13it will be feeling fairly pleasant. Further east however though for parts of East Anglia and London

01:18underneath that cloud and with that rain and particularly with this north sea breeze

01:22on those coastal locations it could feel a little bit chillier here a touch cooler. Through the rest of

01:29Thursday then so this area of rain does slowly start to move away and does turn drier through Thursday

01:34evening for south and east England. Plenty of dry spells but this frontal system slowly and steadily

01:40working its way east. Heaviest rain across parts of Scotland and it just turned a bit lighter and a bit more

01:46drizzling across northern Ireland into the start of Friday as well. Temperatures overnight stay fairly mild

01:5314 to 16 degrees underneath that cloud and rain and a touch cooler in central parts under clear skies and in a

02:00rural location we'll be seeing the coolest of those temperatures. And so it'll be a fairly fresh start on

02:05Friday but with plenty of sunshine around there'll be temperatures soon increasing and it'll be a fairly fine

02:11day. Lots of sunshine around particularly for central southern England and parts of the south coast but we do have this

02:16frontal system slowly and steadily murking its way eastwards and you can see that rain turning quite patchy as we head

02:22later on into the afternoon but over high grounds particularly in part of Wales it could be a fairly murky picture.

02:28Temperature wise coolest across the north mid-teens or early 20s feeling a touch cooler underneath that cloud but in the south

02:35with those brighter spells we could see temperatures up to 28 degrees close to London.
