00:00Hello. Welcome to your weekend

00:02forecast from the Met Office,

00:04a weekend that will see

00:05a big change in the weather.

00:07It's going to start hot,

00:08but by the end of the weekend,

00:09temperatures will be back

00:11closer to where they have been

00:13for much of June so far.

00:15There will be plenty of sunshine

00:16around this weekend, but also

00:18a few showers here and there too.

00:20Now, the heat, as you may well

00:22already know, is coming up from

00:23Spain, France and even North

00:26Africa because high pressure is

00:27dominating across the UK,

00:29but low pressure isn't too far

00:30away. And it's a combination

00:32that's allowing the winds to

00:33draw up the hot air

00:35from France and Spain.

00:36Now, we're not going to see the

00:37temperatures that we're going to

00:38see across France, but those

00:40temperatures will be rising

00:41through Friday and especially

00:43into Saturday.

00:44And then it's this weather front

00:46which will eventually introduce

00:47the cooler conditions for all.

00:49Now, that process will start on

00:51Saturday and as well as

00:52introducing cooler air, it will

00:53bring more cloud on Saturday

00:55across Northern Ireland, Western

00:56Scotland, Western fringes of

00:58England and Wales.

00:59And there could just be one or two

01:00showers dotted about, particularly

01:01across Scotland.

01:02But they will be dotted about.

01:04Most places won't see them and

01:06stay dry.

01:06But as I say, more cloud in the

01:08west on Saturday compared to

01:10Friday.

01:10And as a result, it won't be as

01:12hot. Whereas in the east,

01:14well, we've seen the winds coming

01:15in from a chilly North Sea.

01:16A switch in wind directions means

01:18here temperatures will really

01:20jump up. How much hotter day

01:21across much of eastern England.

01:23How hot could we get?

01:24Well, we are expecting over 30

01:26degrees and the possibility up to

01:2934 degrees Celsius

01:30across some areas through eastern

01:32England. Notice in the west

01:34temperatures, nothing like that

01:35high. So a drop in temperatures

01:37here between Friday and Saturday,

01:39whereas in the east, temperatures

01:40are going up.

01:42And for many, it'll be a fine

01:44warm balmy summer's evening

01:46on Saturday evening before this

01:48cold front does switch

01:50things around. Just look at it.

01:50Brush away all that hot air

01:53spreading it back into the near

01:55continent since the UK changing

01:57colour from red back to

01:59yellow as temperatures revert

02:01back closer to average for Sunday.

02:03There'll still be plenty of fine

02:04weather around on Sunday, but a

02:05fresher feel.

02:06And there will be showers in

02:08western Scotland, one or two

02:10for Northern Ireland, northwest

02:11England, maybe into Wales.

02:12But again, they'll be well

02:13scattered. For many, it will be

02:15dry, certainly across many central

02:16and eastern parts, and there'll

02:17still be some sunshine.

02:19But it's that switch in wind

02:20direction not coming up from the

02:21south anymore, but coming in from

02:23the west, bringing that fresher

02:25feel and bringing temperatures

02:26back closer to average.

02:27Still a bit warmer than it has

02:29been. We could still get up to the

02:30mid 20s, possibly in the sunshine

02:32across the southeast corner.

02:34But for many, it'll be low 20s

02:36at best.

02:36And for quite a few of us, we'll be

02:38sticking back into the teens by

02:40Sunday afternoon, a much fresher

02:42end to the weekend, as I said.

02:44But still plenty of fine weather to

02:45be had this weekend.

02:47Don't forget, UV levels are likely

02:49to be high, along with

02:50pollen levels at times, too.

02:52For more advice on that and

02:54to keep track on the temperatures,
