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

00:03Many places dry and fine today with a lot of cloud,

00:07but some places seeing some hefty downpours.

00:09The view from space is a chaotic mess.

00:12We've seen some lumpy clouds and some heavy showers

00:15already moving across parts of Wales and southern England

00:18and a continued threat across southern England,

00:21especially of some thunderstorms during the afternoon.

00:25There's a Met Office yellow warning in place.

00:26Further north, many places will stay dry,

00:28but there are a few showers coming into northern England,

00:31northern and eastern Scotland staying pretty grey.

00:34Very breezy here without breaks of rain.

00:37Some brightness over the Midlands and Norfolk seeing some decent spells of sunshine too.

00:41But it's in the south, as I say, we've got those thunderstorms because it's quite warm.

00:45It's quite humid. Temperatures getting into the mid-20s in places further north,

00:49cooler and fresher feel compared to yesterday, mostly high teens or low 20s.

00:54Now, as we go into the afternoon and through this evening,

00:56we do have this warning get in place until 9 o'clock.

01:00Not everywhere in the warning will catch a downpour,

01:03but where they do occur, they could drop quite a lot of rain,

01:0520 to 30 millimetres of rain in a short space of time.

01:09That could cause some local flooding, hail, thunder and lightning also likely to be an extra hazard.

01:15So something to bear in mind, particularly for that evening rush hour across parts of the south,

01:18a lot of spray and surface water on the roads.

01:21Further north, still a few more showers coming into northern England

01:23and staying pretty damp through the night across the far north of Scotland,

01:28through Shetland and northeastern most parts of Aberdeenshire.

01:31Showers feeding in to the northwest of Scotland at times too.

01:34But many western areas becoming dry and clear.

01:38Temperatures dipping down into the low teens for most of us.

01:42On to Friday's weather, and again, it is a bit of a messy one.

01:46But for many places in the west, it'll be dry and bright.

01:49Probably a brighter day compared to today.

01:51A better chance of seeing some sunshine.

01:53Thickening cloud coming down the eastern side of England,

01:55making for a bit of a drab one.

01:57And a breezy one on some of those north sea coasts.

02:00Quite a brisk and fresh wind here.

02:02Obviously the rain and drizzle coming in through the afternoon,

02:05particularly into Lincolnshire and Norfolk.

02:06That's not going to feel very pleasant.

02:08Inland, a better chance of seeing some sunny spells.

02:10But there will also be a few showers across northwest England,

02:15down through the Midlands, towards the southeast.

02:17As I said, many western areas dry and bright.

02:19A better chance of seeing some sunshine,

02:21especially in western Scotland, west coast of Wales.

02:23Albeit with a fresher feel.

02:25Temperatures mostly only in the high teens.

02:28Maybe low 20s across the southeast.

02:29But again, feeling fresher compared to the humidity of today.

02:34As we go through Friday evening, not a great deal of change.

02:37The thicker cloud and the brisk wind may start to ease away

02:40from east Anglia.

02:41And the showers inland across England should start to fade as well.

02:45Leading into what will, for many of us,

02:47be a fine day on Saturday,

02:49under the ridge of high pressure that's moving in.

02:52But that doesn't last.

02:53There's a deep area of low pressure heading up to Iceland.

02:55That's going to bring some wet weather

02:57coming in across the country during the course of Sunday

03:00as these weather fronts move in.

03:01And then all eyes out in the Atlantic,

03:03because a potentially deep area of low pressure

03:06just brewing up here.

03:08Some uncertainty about the exact track

03:09and the intensity at this stage.

03:11But for Monday,

03:12this could bring a spell of very wet

03:14and unseasonably windy conditions.

03:17Something we're keeping a very close eye on.

03:19So make sure you stay up to date with the forecast.
