00:00Summer has eventually returned to the UK bringing dry warm and sunny weather to

00:05England and Wales on Thursday and Friday. Feeling very warm and locally hot too

00:10with highs possibly climbing to around 30 degrees Celsius for the far southeast.

00:14Feeling quite warm and muggy overnight too with overnight lows only dropping to

00:18around 15 degrees Celsius. This may be fairly uncomfortable for some of us to

00:22sleep in. Now we're having this taste of summer because the jet stream is

00:26eventually in our favour and it's currently positioned to the north of the

00:29UK with some high pressure out to the east. This is therefore dragging some

00:33warm humid air from across the continent and bringing with it some summery days

00:37to England and Wales. In typical British summertime fashion though low pressure

00:43is not too far away and it's currently located to the northwest of the UK. This

00:47is therefore bringing some more cloud and patchy outbreaks of rain to western

00:51areas of Scotland and western regions of Northern Ireland. On Saturday though a

00:56band of heavy rain will sweep eastwards across the whole of the country bringing

01:01some quite heavy and possibly thundery downpours. It'll also bring with it a

01:05fresher feel to many areas but the far southeast may cling on to that warmth.
