00:00Hi there. It's been another fine day across many parts of the UK on Thursday with more
00:04on the way of sunshine. But we do have a slight blip in the fine weather as we move into tonight
00:08and into Friday morning. And that's courtesy of this occluded front moving in from the
00:12south and that's going to bring a little bit of patchy rain here and there across some
00:16western areas. But you'll notice this large area of high pressure dominating the pattern
00:19still for many of us. So a bit of a wet evening across the southwest and across parts of Wales.
00:25Patchy rain moving into parts of Northern Ireland by the early hours as well. But for
00:28the vast majority of the UK, another fine and dry night to come with clear periods,
00:33particularly across more northern areas. And it's here where we like to see the lowest
00:36temperatures. So underneath those clearing skies, a frost developing across parts of
00:41rural Scotland and perhaps the north of England as well. Temperatures perhaps as low as minus
00:45four in some Scottish glens. But further south, because of that cloud around, generally a
00:49much milder night than it has been of late and temperatures in the south at least holding
00:53up into double figures. So Friday gets off to a somewhat cloudier note compared to late
00:59across many western areas. Still a few spots of rain here and there, particularly across
01:03Wales. But I think that will generally tend to fade away. And by the end of the morning,
01:09it should be generally dry across many places. And it's a lovely day on offer once again
01:13for the vast majority. Lots of spring sunshine, a bit more in the way of patchy low cloud
01:18developing perhaps across northeastern parts of Scotland, a bit of har coming onto the
01:22coast here and maybe even northeastern parts of England through the afternoon as well.
01:27But otherwise, lots of sunshine and that sunshine really lifting temperatures. So another warm
01:31day to come, particularly for western areas out of that easterly breeze. Temperatures
01:35as high as 23 degrees, so perhaps the warmest day of the year so far. But a very different
01:40story if you're on that east coast, particularly North Sea coast. Temperatures here just nine
01:44or 10 degrees, so feeling considerably cooler there in that wind. So through Friday evening
01:50and overnight, skies remain clear for the vast majority. It will be a little bit patchy
01:54low cloud forming across the Pennines and more generally around North Sea coast as we
01:58go towards Saturday morning. Further west, though, underneath those clearing skies, temperatures
02:02here falling a little bit lower and there will be a bit more in the way of a frost around
02:06as we begin the day on Saturday, particularly across Northern Ireland, parts of Wales and
02:10western Scotland. So a bit of a grey old start to the day on Saturday morning for many eastern
02:16and central parts of England, perhaps even the Midlands and Wales for a time. But as
02:20we go through Saturday morning, that cloud will tend to break up. So lots of sunshine
02:24by lunchtime and through the afternoon, blue skies and sunny for many of us, but perhaps
02:29not quite as warm as it has been. So temperatures in the south still perhaps into the high teens,
02:35even locally 20 degrees Celsius, but generally temperatures down compared to of late. And
02:39I think once again on those North Sea coasts, it will feel pretty cool in that fairly brisk
02:44northeasterly breeze. As we move into Sunday, well, there's not much change. Another glorious
02:50day, lots of sunshine and dry for all of us. Temperatures not quite as high as they have
02:54been, but it will still feel pleasantly warm in that sunshine with highs of 15 or 16 degrees.
