00:00 Hello and welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office.

00:05 So it's been a fairly hot week across the UK with temperatures climbing into the 30s

00:11 for now five consecutive days in a row and today likely to see that may be made to six.

00:17 And this is all due to the fact we're under a very hot air mass that's been brought up

00:20 from the south. As we go into next week you'll start to see a few more weather fronts on

00:24 the charts than of late and that's because we're starting to see cold fronts making their

00:28 way south eastwards bringing some slightly cooler air from the northwest and helping

00:33 those temperatures come back down towards average.

00:36 But let's go back to today and have a look at the details. So we've seen a fair bit of

00:40 mist fog low cloud across the north and west to start today. We've got an area of rain

00:46 and drizzle affecting the far northwest of Scotland. Plenty of sunshine though as we

00:50 head into this afternoon and this is going to help an area of heavy showers and thunderstorms

00:55 developing across central parts of England through today. And there is a yellow thunderstorm

01:00 warning out for this. But due to the nature of thunderstorms even if you are outside of

01:06 that warning area but close by you could still see a thunderstorm through today. It's going

01:12 to be another very warm or hot day as well especially across the southeast. We could

01:19 see highs into the low 30s around 33 as a max for today.

01:24 So as we go through this evening those showers will slowly fade away continuing for a time

01:29 as well across Northern Ireland and into southern Scotland but slowly becoming drier. So still

01:34 with some outbreaks of rain and drizzle across the far northwest of Scotland. As we go into

01:39 the early hours of Sunday there's an area of heavy showers and thunderstorms pushing

01:44 up into the southwest. So there's a chance if you live here you could be woken up by

01:48 a thunderstorm into the early hours of Sunday. But this is all during what's going to be

01:53 another warm and humid night. So another uncomfortable night for sleeping.

02:00 Into the start of Sunday then we'll see those showers making their way northeastward so

02:05 into Wales the Midlands and later on further north into northern England Northern Ireland

02:10 and southern Scotland. Now these showers could band together and we'll see some thunderstorms

02:17 and a risk of hail as well as some strong gusty winds. So do keep an eye on our website

02:22 our app and social media for the latest updates tomorrow on where the showers are because

02:27 as I said the nature of these showers and thunderstorms does mean that they are a bit

02:32 hit and miss in places and even if you are outside of warning areas you still are at

02:36 risk of seeing a thunderstorm in these regions through tomorrow.

02:40 Best of the driest and brightest weather will be for eastern and southeastern parts of England

02:45 again on Sunday. This is where we'll see temperatures climbing into the 30s once more for what

02:50 will probably be the final day. So making that seven consecutive days of 30 degrees

02:56 Celsius recorded in the UK during September. Now as we go into Sunday evening those showers

03:03 will continue for a while so still further heavy showers thunderstorms for northern England

03:09 Northern Ireland and southern Scotland and with this band of rain and cloud across the

03:13 far northwest to elsewhere with clear spells we'll start to see some mist and fog developing

03:19 but with some low cloud pushing in for southwest England and parts of Wales too.

03:26 Thank you for listening and for all your latest weather updates do keep an eye on our social

03:30 media and check out our website for all the latest warnings in force. Bye for now.
