00:00Hello, and welcome to your latest weather forecast from the Met Office. And for many
00:04of us over the next few days, the temperatures are on the rise. Now, the reason for that
00:08is we've got low pressure out towards Iberia, higher pressure over the continent, and that's
00:12drawing in this warm southerly feed of air across all of the UK. So our temperatures
00:17are on the rise, particularly by day, still some chilly nights to come. And you certainly
00:21notice that out there first thing on Wednesday morning. But for the rest of Wednesday, a
00:25fine and sunny afternoon right the way across the board. Plenty of long spells of sunshine
00:30out there for many of us. The main exception, though, being across parts of the southwest,
00:33particularly South Wales and parts of southwest England. Here at times, the cloud will be
00:37that bit thicker through the course of the day today. And what that could mean as well
00:41is we just see one or two very isolated light spots of rain. But shouldn't spoil things
00:45too much. Temperatures still going to be feeling a little bit warmer than yesterday. And that's
00:49because we've lost that nagging easterly breeze that we've had for several days. So as part
00:54from the very far southwest where we continue to see a bit of a breeze, many of us will
00:58have much lighter winds today and our temperatures getting widely into the mid teens, perhaps
01:0217 degrees around the London area. As we go into Wednesday evening, then for many of us,
01:08it's a fine end to the day. Lots of lovely sunshine as we finish the end of the day.
01:13Many southern areas will continue to see this area of cloud just drifting its way slowly
01:17northwards. But it does tend to break up a little bit through the night. So clear skies
01:20will prevail, I think, across most places. Some mist and fog patches possible later in
01:25the night for some central swathes of the U.K. But the most widespread frost will beat
01:30for Scotland and Northern Ireland. Again, in towns and cities, temperatures falling
01:33close to freezing. But in the countryside, it could get down as low as minus five or
01:38minus six as we start Thursday morning. But a little bit less cold across the south, certainly
01:43compared to what we saw on Wednesday morning. Towns and cities holding up a few degrees
01:47above freezing, just maybe one or two pockets of frost in our most sheltered spots as we
01:53start the day. But for most of us, Thursday greets us to a lovely sunny day. There'll
01:57be long spouts of sunshine throughout the day on Thursday. So for many of us, it really
02:02is going to be a really lovely day. At times, the western areas will have slightly hazier
02:07skies and that's because we'll see a little bit of cirrus cloud filtering in. And into
02:10the afternoon for parts of mid east Wales and also the Midlands, we could just see some
02:15clouds bubbling up, some fair weather cloud. But one or two of these could just produce
02:19a very isolated light shower. You will be unlucky, though, if you catch that. For most,
02:24it will be another dry day. And look at our temperatures warming up a little bit more
02:28on Thursday, quite widely into the mid teens across the U.K., but quite widely also into
02:34the high teens with temperatures potentially getting up to 20 degrees across the southeast
02:38at 68 in Fahrenheit. As we go through Thursday evening, then we continue to hold on to
02:45plenty of dry and bright weather. But as we go towards the weekend, signs are of a change.
02:51Of course, you can catch more on our YouTube channel with the 10 day trend. Take care.
02:56Bye bye.
