Met Office Friday afternoon weather forecast 28/06/2024

Welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office. A bit of a mishmash through the course of the weekend, but I think many places will have a lot of dry weather and many of us will see at least some sunshine. We do have to talk about low pressure however. Not just one, but two actually. This massive cloud up to the north of Scotland. And then there's another one out in the Atlantic. This one is slowly trudging towards the UK, but notice the isobars fairly spaced out. This one further north has been a fairly potent feature and has brought quite a bit of wet and windy weather already across Scotland and still bringing plenty of showers into the Highlands and the Northern Isles and the Western Isles through the day. The showers a bit more scattered further South, but we'll see some zipping through across southern Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland's. Much of the South dry and fine out there this afternoon. Quite a bit of cloud at times but some sunny spells. The winds easing off, so mostly light winds across the South feeling OK and the sunny spells 21, maybe 22 or 23 where we see some lengthy spells of sunshine but temperatures further north close to or below average and feeling cooler when you add those winds on. Still quite blustery well into the afternoon and evening across the far north of Scotland. Still plenty of showers to come in here through the evening too, but they should steadily fade. For most it'll be a dry evening, but it isn't one of those balmy summer evenings. It will be on the cool side and then by morning that next area of low pressure just edging into the West. So quite a lot of cloud developing across Wales, parts of Northern Ireland and northwest England, with the clearer skies ahead of that cloud moving in. Temperatures could drop down to single figures for a time. On to the details then for Saturday. And as I said, it's a bit of a mixed picture. Plenty of sunshine, I suspect across East Anglia and the southeast. A brighter day for southern Scotland and not as many showers across northern Scotland, although still there will be one or two. A duller day though for northwest England, north and West Wales. Quite a lot of thick cloud here, drizzly damp conditions. Rain on and off, but a showery rain could jump over the Pennines into NE England and so we could see a bit of rain at times for South Wales and maybe even the odd shower in the southwest, but I suspect most of the South will stay dry, hanging on to sunny spells across the southeast. A bright fine day for much of Northern Ireland as well once we lose any early cloud. Still a bit of a breeze in the northwest, but generally those winds will be pretty light for most of us and as a result with a bit of sunshine in the southeast. 2425° that will feel pretty warm, whereas it will be a cooler feeling day with this cloudier zone across central parts. Quite a warm and humid evening to come there across the southwest and as we go through the night, still some of this rain and drizzle across W Wales, northwest England, but it will start to edge further South and still few more showers to come across the Highlands. Some clearer spells developing elsewhere. That low pressure system that moves in is kind of just fizzling out as we go through Saturday night, but it will just eke its way further South into Sunday, making for a duller start across East Anglia and the southeastern. The possibility of one or two showers here. Still one or two showers across northern Scotland as well, but I suspect many places dry. The main exception will be Shetland, where cloud and rain will persist through Sunday. Much of the country, though, looking fine on Sunday. Yes, quite a bit of cloud round, but we should see some spells of sunshine coming through and temperatures nowhere near as high as they were earlier in the week around or a touch below average for most through Sunday. And we'll continue with that mixed pattern as we go well into next week as well. For more on that, make sure you stay up to date. The best way to do that? If you're watching on YouTube, hit subscribe.
