00:00Hello there and a very good morning to you on this Thursday morning. We're talking showers

00:04today and heavy thundery showers across southern counties. In fact, the Met Office has issued

00:09a warning for those thunderstorms through this morning and into this afternoon. A weather

00:14front across Scotland continues to bring clouds and also some outbreaks of rain. This weather

00:19front here skirts more southern counties through the day, bringing with it the risk of those

00:23thunderstorms, really ramping up the risk of some heavy torrential downpours, hail as well

00:30as thunder and lightning. Through this morning, if you are stepping out, some heavier pulses

00:35of rain across Aberdeenshire. Rain just clearing Shetland and some outbreaks of rain and drizzle

00:40across the North West Highlands. Dry skies across southern counties of Scotland and Northern

00:44England where you'll see some sunshine. A few light showers running in across Northern

00:48Ireland but an improving picture here. And then we can pick up on that cloud and the rain

00:52of course central and southern parts of England and Wales. Fairly sporadic through this morning

00:55so some drier skies around as well. Let's just pick up on the detail of those thunderstorms

01:01then as they develop through this morning. Anywhere across the M4 corridor to be honest. And

01:08you can see there's some heavy downpours likely. Frequent lightning and hail extending through

01:13the morning into the afternoon and evening time. This warning expires at 9pm. So expect some

01:20quite heavy weather and some tricky driving conditions. Particularly if you're travelling

01:24through today and into this evening rush hour. Now across more eastern parts of Scotland where

01:31you've seen that heavy rain this morning. Quite a keen breeze. It will tend to ease. Still

01:35a little bit of patchy rain across the Highlands. Showers will develop across Northern England,

01:39northern parts of Wales. Heavy showers turning thundery through more southern areas through this

01:44afternoon. But notice towards the west. So as we head through the afternoon, the air will

01:49turn a lot more stable across more western areas allowing for a mix of cloud and sunshine. Some

01:55fine conditions. And that will also be the case for West Wales and later on across the

02:00west country. Although along the south coast we continue to see those thundery downpours clustering

02:05together together giving some high rainfall totals through the day. So through this evening

02:12the thunderstorms will rumble on. The other aspect of the weather through today will be how

02:16humid it is across England and Wales. Temperatures 23 to 25 degrees Celsius. A bit fresher in the

02:22breeze across the north and the west of Scotland on the north coast of Northern Ireland. Here

02:26temperatures 19 or 20 degrees Celsius. Now through this evening and overnight those showers continue

02:32across eastern counties. Some light ones running in on a keen breeze across the north as well

02:36as the west of Scotland. But some clearer skies across much of the Midlands, central southern England,

02:41eventually the Wales as well as the west country. And into Friday morning a bit of a breeze to start

02:47the day across this east coast. Again with the risk of those showers continuing through the morning.

02:52The cloud will build through the middle part of the day and these showers could turn heavy

02:56anywhere from the east Midlands down towards east Anglia as well as the southeast. And still one or two

03:01light ones further north. But it will be a drier day all round elsewhere. Again with the cloud breaking

03:06allowing for some sunshine and temperatures typically the high teens across the north, the low 20s further

03:12south and southeast. So that's the picture on Friday. As we head into the weekend it really is a

03:19tale of two halves. This ridge of high pressure brings with it the prospect of some fine conditions

03:24on Saturday. A great day for being out and about and enjoying some sunshine. However this weather front

03:30here will move in on Sunday bringing clouds and also some outbreaks of rain. And it will track eastwards

03:36through the day. So your outlook through Saturday, your temperatures through the afternoon

03:40rising nicely into the 20s with some sunny spells coming through. And then that band of rain which

03:48could be heavy in places will extend from western parts of Scotland to Northern Ireland down towards

03:53Northern England, Wales eventually reaching the southeast but much later on. And then come Monday

03:59things turn even more unsettled with some heavy rain and also some strong winds wherever you are.

04:06Take care and I'll see you again soon.
