Hello again. Another sunny and very hot day to come across much of the UK. Temperatures
00:06
have been rising through the week and it's even hotter today compared with yesterday
00:10
with temperatures up about a degree or so in many spots. Now the far north and north-west
00:16
of Scotland will once again be cloudier and cooler with some light outbreaks of rain but
00:21
mostly dry here. Also some mist and low cloud continues to affect the far coast of eastern
00:27
Scotland and north-east England. Much cooler here but elsewhere with those sunny skies
00:32
you can see high 20s across much of Scotland and Northern Ireland. Low to mid 30s across
00:38
much of England and Wales. Somewhere it could just about reach a 35 Celsius somewhere in
00:42
central or southern England. So very hot. These kinds of temperatures don't happen often
00:48
in this country even if they are a little lower compared with the July remarkable heat
00:53
wave. Now overnight we're going to see some of that low cloud and mist in the north-east
00:58
creep a bit further inland for a time. But there will also be some outbreaks of rain
01:04
in Shetland. Elsewhere temperatures holding up in the mid to high teens. So very warm
01:10
and uncomfortable night for sleeping across the board. And then into the start of the
01:16
weekend. Some of that low cloud and mist for a time in the east but it tends to retreat
01:21
back to the beaches where it could well linger into the afternoon. Again some outbreaks of
01:27
rain for parts of Shetland. Perhaps Lewis and Harris but for the vast majority it is
01:32
dry and it's sunny. And with that sunshine comes that build of heat once again. And I
01:37
think tomorrow is likely to be slightly hotter once again. So widely across England and Wales
01:44
we're looking at low to mid thirties. There's a possibility of 36 Celsius in an isolated
01:51
spot somewhere around central and southern England perhaps east Wales. But mostly those
01:57
temperatures will be at around 33, 34 degrees and 35 in one or two places. In Scotland and
02:03
Northern Ireland high twenties but much cooler around the coasts of northern and eastern
02:09
Scotland. And with that heat comes the threat later Saturday of some heavy showers developing.
02:17
Most notably the northern Pennines, the southern uplands and then perhaps drifting north through
02:22
the night. They'll be very isolated but where they occur expect some heavy rainfall. Otherwise
02:29
it's dry with clear spells across the board on Saturday. Again some signs of some showers
02:35
there across the channel and these showers are just an indication of the changes to come
02:41
later in the weekend and more especially the start of next week. Low pressure replaces
02:46
high and as that happens the air begins to rise. And although Sunday is expected to be
02:52
hot and sunny again for many there is the increased risk initially in the north and
02:56
then more widely on Monday of thunderstorms and torrential rain in places. Hit and miss
03:02
downpours yes but where these downpours occur for the start of next week there is that risk
03:08
of flash flooding because of course this heavy rainfall falling on top of very dry ground.
03:14
So we'll keep you updated on all of that and you can follow those updates on social media.
03:17
Bye bye.
