00:00Hello, welcome to your national weather update.

00:02A hot start to the week, and it could end even hotter.

00:07But more on that in just a moment.

00:08First of all, let's take a look at the big picture.

00:10High pressure is in control for the time being.

00:12We're going to get a change as this weather front moves in,

00:15introducing cloud and some rain across parts of Scotland

00:19and Northern Ireland overnight.

00:21High pressure still controlling things for England and Wales,

00:24a balmy summer's evening here leading into a dry night.

00:27But here's that weather front turning things

00:29a little damp across Scotland and Northern Ireland.

00:31It will eventually introduce cooler air

00:33to the far northwest.

00:34But for most, it's a pretty difficult night for sleeping.

00:38Temperatures staying in the mid to high teens.

00:41Parts of eastern England may stay over 20 Celsius.

00:45The details for Tuesday then, and a very different day

00:47for Scotland and Northern Ireland.

00:48Certainly a lot of cloud here early on,

00:50with some outbreaks of rain drifting

00:52through the central belt and spreading

00:54across Northern Ireland.

00:55Nothing too heavy, but certainly, I say,

00:57a change compared to Monday.

00:58Brighter skies will follow to the northwest.

01:00For England and Wales, well, the cloud

01:02may be a little thicker in places, perhaps even

01:04one or two light showers.

01:05But for most, it's another day of hot, hazy sunshine here.

01:09And temperatures responding ahead of that cold front

01:12into the mid to high 20s once more.

01:15Perhaps not quite as high as Monday,

01:17but still up to 31, 32 across the southeast.

01:20Behind that cold front, temperatures

01:23much closer to average, but still

01:24into 22, 23 on the east coast of Scotland

01:27with some afternoon sunshine.

01:29That weather front will continue to drift south

01:32during Tuesday evening.

01:33Again, the rain, though, continuing to fizzle out.

01:36So no more than a spot or two here or there.

01:38There will be some showers coming into the Highlands

01:41of Scotland and the Western Isles.

01:42And for many, temperatures will drop a little further

01:45as we head into Wednesday morning.

01:46So not quite as difficult for sleeping,

01:48but still in the south on Wednesday morning,

01:50temperatures likely to be in the high teens.

01:53So it'll be another difficult night for sleeping here.

01:56We could start with quite a bit of cloud, though,

01:58on the south coast on Wednesday.

02:00It should move away, the odd spot of rain,

02:02but not really anything useful for gardeners.

02:05There will be more showers coming in

02:07across northern Scotland with a fairly brisk wind.

02:09But for most, Wednesday is a dry day

02:12with plenty of sunshine once more.

02:14But that cold front will have moved through,

02:17and so temperatures won't be as high.

02:19Still into the low to mid 20s for many,

02:22and maybe up to 27 or 28 across the southeast.

02:25Generally, a slightly cooler day all in all,

02:29which is, again, of course, northern Scotland

02:31only in the mid-teens,

02:32where there will be a fairly stiff breeze

02:34blowing throughout.

02:35That'll continue through Wednesday evening as well.

02:38The outlook is for high pressure to move back in

02:41as we go through Thursday and into Friday.

02:44But there are these weather fronts

02:45toppling around the top of it,

02:46which will bring some showers.

02:48But then the high's set to control the weather

02:50right across the land by the time we get to the weekend.

02:53That will have an impact on the temperatures.

02:56So initially, we've got the heat, obviously.

02:59This cold front, though, will oust that heat,

03:01pushing it away.

03:02So temperatures through the middle of the week

03:04won't be quite as high.

03:07But then as the high pressure starts to build back in,

03:10what we could see this time is the potential

03:13for us to tap into some of the heat

03:16further south across Europe.

03:17And that may well push northwards

03:19by the time we get to Sunday.

03:21Details of the exact extent of the heat

03:24and the numbers we'll be talking about,

03:26well, it's too far off to say.

03:27But we are concerned that the temperatures

03:29could get into the mid or even high 30s.

03:33And so on Monday, we issued an amber extreme heat warning

03:37across much of England and parts of Wales.

03:40We're concerned that if those temperatures

03:41do get up into the mid to high 30s,

03:44that could cause adverse health issues

03:46and not just for the elderly and for the vulnerable,

03:48but quite widely across the public.

03:52Transport disruption is also likely

03:53with those temperatures affecting road surfaces,

03:56but also the rail network as well.

03:58So this is something we're concerned about.

04:00It's a few days off.

04:02We will firm up on the details over the next few days.
