Met Office Weather: Thunderstorms and rain to hit parts of the UK
Transcript
00:00Hello there, good morning. Did you hear any thunder last night? Well, if not, you might
00:04hear it across parts of the southeast this morning. We've got some heavy outbreaks of
00:08rain here across Sussex and Kemp, for example, eventually pushing into parts of East Anglia
00:12through the course of the morning. So heavy downpours, possibly some hail and thunder
00:17before we eventually say goodbye to this feature through the afternoon. Behind it and across
00:21most of the country, we'll see another day of sunny spells and showers, most showers
00:25pushing through into western areas where once again they could be heavy. Otherwise, fairly
00:29similar temperatures to what we saw yesterday, highs reaching 21, possibly
00:32even 22 degrees Celsius. There'll still be some showers lingering on through the course
00:38of the evening, patchy cloud and a mix of clear skies. We'll see still a few showers
00:43just starting to creep into the west, but most showers across England and Wales
00:46becoming isolated, so quite dry and where we see any clear skies, it will turn a
00:51little cooler and fresher by the time we reach Saturday morning. But it should be
00:54mostly dry and bright for many of us, particularly across the far east and
00:58southeast to start the day. But don't let it fool you, there is another system
01:01waiting out into the Atlantic, pushing in more cloud and also heavy outbreaks of
01:05rain at first across Northern Ireland and then into western areas of England and
01:10Wales. And western areas of Scotland, too, will start to see these heavy outbreaks
01:13of rain as we head through the early hours of the afternoon. Not just heavy rain, but
01:17also some quite strong gusty winds associated with this feature, particularly
01:20around any exposed spots of the west. Staying mostly dry across the east for the first
01:25part of the afternoon before this feature eventually pushes its way through.
01:28So that's where we'll see the best of the temperatures. High is once again reaching
01:32around 20 to 21 degrees Celsius. But it is certainly going to be quite a breezy day,
01:37quite strong gusts in the west to finish off on Saturday. And the unsettled theme does
01:42continue for the second half of the weekend, all due to this area of low pressure
01:45sitting out into the northwest, dragging in quite widespread outbreaks of rain and showers at times.
01:51And also take a look at the tight isobars on that screen as well. Plenty of strong winds,
01:55particularly in the northwest to finish off the weekend. But if you want more details on
01:59this weekend's weather, we can catch Alex Deakin on YouTube.
