an atlantic weather front has swept across the uk. most of us had a spell of steady rain and gusty winds and now, in the wake of that weather front, we've sunshine and showers for this weekend and quite brisk winds as well, particularly around western areas. now, that low pressure will still drive our weather through the course of saturday and sunday. but here's that weather front, it's now moving into scandinavia through germany and also through france. let's look at the early hours. quite a few isobars here because the low pressure is still close by. well, just to the north—west of us, that means gusty winds pushing in the showers in scotland and northern ireland and there will be a few elsewhere, but predominantly clear spells early on saturday. temperatures will range from 7 in aberdeen to around 12 in the south. here's the forecast for saturday itself and the picture remains more or less the same — brisk winds out towards the west, occasional showers, some of them quite heavy in scotland and northern ireland, best of the weather the further east and south you are. temperatures will be around 19 in london for a time,
4:55 am
but for many of us in the north—west, closer to 13 or 1a. now, sunday, another weather front is expected to brush southern parts of the uk, and why�*s that important? well, we've got the london marathon on sunday and here's the thinking — the rain will probably reach south—western parts of the uk early in the morning and then, it should reach london. it looks as though the rain will clear by the time we get to the afternoon, so we will call it a wet start to the marathon and through the afternoon, things should dry out, but there is uncertainty with regards to how quickly that will happen. the rest of the country should have a fine day on sunday. if you're wondering about monday, high pressure is expected to build across england and wales, so fine weather here with light winds — really very pleasant conditions — and turning a bit warmer. but in the north—west, we'll be closer to atlantic weather fronts. some rain expected possibly
4:56 am
northern ireland and quite likely there in the western isles of scotland. here are the temperatures — high teens and in scotland and northern ireland, mid teens. and here's the outlook. next week, it looks as though at times, the weather will be unsettled, but those temperatures for a time could reach 20 degrees in the south of the uk. have a good weekend.
