00:00Hello there and welcome to your weather update from the Met Office.
00:05It's Wednesday evening, we have seen a lot of rain through the last 24 hours particularly
00:09towards the west, all courtesy of an area of low pressure which is tracking its way
00:14northwards but notice the blues covering the country, the air remains rather cool.
00:19The winds will ease into Thursday, the flow is fairly slack towards the west though another
00:25area of low pressure is brewing, affecting some western parts as the winds pick up through
00:30Good Friday.
00:31Before that though, a rain warning until 9pm across Northern Ireland, that rain is easing
00:38towards the south as it moves northwards.
00:41Some persistent rain across the north and the west of Scotland, some showery bursts further
00:45south and notice a few showers just moving in across central southern parts of England.
00:50Inland where we see clearer skies though, temperatures dipping down to around 2 or 3 degrees
00:55Celsius.
00:56So a bit of a chilly start to the day come Thursday morning but for some, it will be bright with
01:01some sunshine.
01:02Always more clouds across Scotland and again this showery rain.
01:06The sun should come out across Northern England as well as Northern Ireland, so some brighter
01:10skies here.
01:11Showers never too far away and they will develop in situ across England and Wales, turning heavy
01:16at times but fairly scattered.
01:19Through the afternoon then, this showery rain becomes confined to central and northern areas
01:22of Scotland.
01:23Brighter skies further south as the cloud breaks up.
01:26But temperatures struggling a little bit, particularly where you see that cloud persist through the
01:30day.
01:3111 or 12 degrees Celsius for Scotland and Northern Ireland, 14 or 15 for Northern England and
01:36Wales.
01:3717 though down towards the home counties as well as the southeast.
01:42Now through Thursday evening and overnight, clearer skies.
01:45Yet again, it's going to be a chilly night.
01:47Notice towards the west, this area of low pressure brings some stronger winds towards the west
01:51country, much of Ireland as well.
01:54So some showery bursts of rain which could turn heavy as we head into Good Friday.
01:58Elsewhere after a chilly start, we'll see some fine weather, some sunshine coming through.
02:03So a better day around across central and eastern areas.
02:06Perhaps one or two showers just in the mix there as the cloud builds through the middle
02:10part of the day.
02:11Temperatures 16 or 17 degrees Celsius.
02:13So here's that low.
02:14The distribution of the rain is a little bit uncertain at the moment but certainly we will
02:19see some showery bursts as we head through into Saturday across more western and southern
02:23areas.
02:24Brighter skies further east and north.
02:26The air remains relatively cool though.
02:28And into Easter day, yes, some sunny breaks.
02:31Cloudier further west.
02:32There's a chance of some showers, particularly for Northern Ireland.
02:35But all in all, the bank holiday weekend is not a washout.
02:39There will be some fine weather around.
02:41There will be some sunshine.
02:42Stay tuned to the forecast and for your 10-day trend.
02:45It's out on our YouTube channel This Week with Alex Burkhill.
