— likea — like a little bit of wounded pride. the business is coming up pride. the business is coming up very shortly. hello there. over the last few nights, mother nature has been putting on a pretty impressive display of thunder and lightning. late in the day on wednesday, we had a number of storms move across northern england, and that was one of them late in the day in county durham. and recently, the storms have been forming thanks to this area of low pressure just to the south of the republic of ireland. we've had these trough features, these organised bands of showers being thrown in from the south and west, and for wednesday night, we had two clutches of storms — one affecting north wales, the north midlands, northern england. that really was the most active. but we also have another area of storms in the south—east as well. here's the weather picture over the next few hours. there will be a few more downpours coming and going, one or two mist and fog
5:27 am
patches forming as well. perhaps some more persistent and heavier rain setting in across some central and eastern area of scotland, and these are the kind of temperatures you'll have to start the day heading into thursday. thursday is another day of sunshine and showers, broadly speaking, but i think we could see an area of persistent heavy rain affecting central and eastern areas of scotland and perhaps lasting through thursday into friday as well, bringing the risk of some localised flooding here, but otherwise, it's another day of showers. for many of you, there'll be quite a lot of showers, so most of you will see at least one or two, perhaps more than that through the course of the day, and by the afternoon, some of them, again, will be turning thundery in nature. the area of low pressure driving this lot will continue to bring showery weather across all parts of the uk through friday. again, some hefty downpours, but notice there is that zone of heavier, more persistent rain affecting some central and eastern areas of scotland, with a heightened risk of seeing some localised flooding as those rainfall totals continue to build up during the course of the next couple of days. beyond that, we'll take a look at the weather pattern into the weekend. that area of low pressure finally clears out of the way — good, it's been with us all week. we get this ridge of high pressurejust for a time
5:28 am
on saturday, but then we see more rain arriving from the west. so, saturday looks like a dry day for the vast majority. make the most of that because sunday sees a return of some heavy rain, particularly across western areas. now, one thing you might have noticed — i certainly have — recently is that it's been getting dark pretty quickly. at this time of the year, we're losing daylight at its fastest rate. that means in london, we're losing, well, nearly four minutes of daylight each and every day, but it gets worse the further north you go. in lerwick, we're losing nearly 5.5 minutes each and every day. that's the latest.
