:03:22. > :03:33.for the rest of the weekend? Hello, good evening. We may not have

:03:34. > :03:37.had bundles of blue sky today. It tried to brighten up in places and

:03:38. > :03:41.it's mild for the time of year. It's been drying up this afternoon as

:03:42. > :03:45.well. A dry evening to come. Still breezy towards the north coast. Very

:03:46. > :03:49.gradually that breeze will be easing its way down through the night. The

:03:50. > :03:53.cloud is going to be closing in once again. It's likely to bring bits and

:03:54. > :03:57.pieces of rain and drizzle. Still a lot of dry weather. But becoming

:03:58. > :04:00.misty and murky in places particularly to the west, over

:04:01. > :04:04.coasts and hills. A mild night though, temperatures no lower than

:04:05. > :04:07.seven or eight degrees. Into tomorrow, eventually we will see

:04:08. > :04:12.rain moving in. Not until later in the day. For a good part of the day,

:04:13. > :04:15.it is mainly dry. It's also mild, but pretty cloudy. In fact, during

:04:16. > :04:19.the morning, we're likely to find the mist and murk becomes more

:04:20. > :04:27.widespread for a time, sitting on the hills and around the coasts. One

:04:28. > :04:31.or t visibility -- one or two visibility issues. Not so much mist

:04:32. > :04:35.and murk across Scotland, England and Wales. A good deal of cloud

:04:36. > :04:39.here. There will be breaks in sheltered Eastern areas. Here too

:04:40. > :04:43.it's pretty mild. Temperatures 13 or 14 degrees. As the day wears on, we

:04:44. > :04:48.get wet weather into the north-west of Scotland. Breezy here as well. It

:04:49. > :04:53.will turn wetter out towards the west of Ireland and into Northern

:04:54. > :04:57.Ireland as well. Late particularly across parts of the north and the

:04:58. > :05:01.west. The east probably staying dry until the evening. Misty, murky,

:05:02. > :05:06.damp afternoon eventually for some, the breeze picking up as well. It is

:05:07. > :05:11.still mild, temperatures up to 11, 12, possibly even 13 degrees. We

:05:12. > :05:14.hang onto the relatively mild air as we head into the start of next week.

:05:15. > :05:18.It's not until we get a bit a change on Tuesday night that we get

:05:19. > :05:22.slightly fresher air moving in from the west around the middle of the

:05:23. > :05:26.week. Until then, cloudy, breezy, some rain, the best of any drier

:05:27. > :05:31.spells towards the east. Then we get a batch of rain on Tuesday night.

:05:32. > :05:33.Turning fresher into Wednesday. After that, windy.
