hello. after a week of changeable weather it's looking fairly promising for most of us this weekend. certainly not for everybody. in fact, after a sunny saturday we're expecting wind and rain to sweep into northern ireland and scotland. but england and wales should remain dry through most of sunday. you can see the weather systems sweeping across the country right now, that heavy rain that swept into northwest england in the midlands in the last few hours. a high pressure is now building in. that will settle things down, at least temporarily. lots of clear weather on the way fortonight, light winds. the band of heavy rain that swept across the uk will be exiting our shores and reaching the near continent through the early hours of saturday. behind it there is a brisk wind off

the atlantic and we will have a few showers out towards the west. generally speaking, it is looking clear. quite chilly first thing on saturday, even in towns and cities temperatures will be around five or six degrees. you can imagine in the countryside it will be colder than that. the weather for saturday, very little if any wind at all across southern and southwestern areas, a bit of cloud building up in the afternoon but that's pretty much it. it should feel pleasant in the sunshine, around 15 or 16 degrees with a bit of cloud building up in the afternoon but that's pretty much it. it should feel pleasant in the sunshine, around 15 or 16 degrees. more cloud in the the next band of rain is approaching. as the high pressure slips away after that sunny saturday in a low approaches in a weather front brings wind and rain to northern ireland the morning, eventually western scotland. through the day it mayjust about brighten up before sunset here in the very far northwest. but i should think it will turn wet and windy around the irish sea coast

later in the day on sunday but elsewhere, sunday is looking fine. monday, if you're wondering about that, that weather front is out of the way and we're back into an area of high pressure, settled weather with temperatures between 13 in the north and around 17 in the south. let's have a look at the outlook into next week. it stays fine across the south of the country. you can see london and cardiff there enjoying that settled weather with temperatures in the high teens but further north it will be a little more changeable with temperatures close to the mid teens. bye— bye.
