Some fine weather on the way this weekend and it'll be turning warmer too. Sunday could see a change with more cloud in the west and then the rising temperatures and humidity could create thunderstorms later. Alex Deakin has the latest.

00:00Hello. Welcome to your weekend

00:02weather from the Met Office.

00:03If you've been after some warm and

00:05sunny weather this June,

00:07well, you may be in luck.

00:08Our weather is changing.

00:10It could get pretty hot next week.

00:12But for the time being, it's all

00:14about things just warming up a

00:15touch. And perhaps the most

00:17important factor, it's been a very

00:19wet June.

00:20So something a bit drier for the

00:21weekend and many of us will finally

00:24see some sunny spells.

00:25What's going on?

00:26Well, we've replaced low pressure

00:28with high pressure.

00:29This is what we've been missing.

00:30It's moving in through Friday,

00:32calming the weather down.

00:33And this high promises the vast

00:35majority a fine day on

00:37Saturday.

00:38Under clear skies, it will be a bit

00:40of a chilly start, perhaps.

00:41But most places, as I say, will

00:43start off with some sunshine.

00:45There's the possibility of one or

00:46two showers across northwest

00:48Scotland, particularly over the

00:49Northern Isles. But for most, it's

00:51dry. It's fine.

00:52Some cloud will bubble up through

00:53the day, but it's a classic

00:55summer's day, if you like.

00:57Maybe a bit of a breeze blowing

00:58across the southwest and

01:00the coasts will be a little bit

01:01cooler. But inland, some

01:03warmth, certainly compared to

01:04recent days, more widely

01:06see temperatures getting into the

01:08low 20s.

01:09As I said, the coast, perhaps a

01:10little bit cooler.

01:11UV levels are likely to be high

01:14in many areas, though.

01:15So just take note of that.

01:16It's been a while since we've seen

01:17any sunshine.

01:18So make sure you apply the

01:20sunscreen.

01:20Pollen levels could also be high

01:22or very high across some parts of

01:24the country.

01:25How long will it last?

01:26Well, the high tries to hang on,

01:27but notice low pressure is

01:29just edging in.

01:30And I do mean edging in as we go

01:32into Sunday. Some uncertainty

01:33about the timing of this

01:35weather, for instance, when it

01:36brings cloud and rain.

01:37But certainly a cloudier day, it

01:39looks like on Sunday for Northern

01:40Ireland, Wales and southwest

01:42England, with the threat of

01:43showers. But for the Midlands,

01:44eastern Northern England, most of

01:46Scotland, looking like another

01:47mostly dry, bright day.

01:49The sunshine will turn more hazy.

01:51And as you can see, there is the

01:52risk of some showers breaking

01:54out further east as we go

01:56through the day.

01:57And that's the big question mark

01:58because temperatures are going to

01:59be rising.

02:00The heat and humidity is

02:02getting turned up through the

02:03weekend. So with some sunshine

02:05more widely into the 20s on

02:07Sunday and perhaps even

02:09a little bit higher than that, of

02:10course, parts of the southeast,

02:12maybe the high 20s, something we

02:13haven't seen for quite some time.

02:15But that heat and humidity does

02:17then bring the threat of some

02:19thunderstorms.

02:20And we do, in fact, already have a

02:21warning out for Sunday and into

02:23Monday. The risk of some

02:24torrential downpours is the heat

02:26and humidity could spark some big

02:28thunderstorms, especially so on

02:30Sunday night and into Monday.

02:32Next week, we could see more of

02:33these and we could see those

02:35temperatures rising even

02:37further.

02:38There's a lot going on with the

02:39weather at the moment.

02:39So the best thing to do is stay up

02:41to date with all of the Met

02:45media, on YouTube, download
