00:00Hello.

00:01Monday afternoon saw some very lively thunderstorms, large hail, gusty winds and torrential rain

00:06across parts of Wales into the Midlands and the southeast.

00:10We'll still see some showers on Tuesday afternoon, but there will be fewer, more restricted

00:15to a smaller part of the country, albeit a populated one through South Wales, Central

00:19Southern England and the southeast.

00:22And the showers won't be quite as widely intense, but still the potential for an isolated torrential

00:28downpour, lightning and some large hail in this zone, which is roughly indicated by the

00:35shower distribution here, although I wouldn't take this too literally, it's basically this

00:40zone where the greatest risk of those impactful showers and thunderstorms is likely through

00:45the afternoon.

00:46Either side of that, I think for much of Cornel to South Devon, the south coast mostly dry

00:52with sunny spells.

00:53The Midlands, North Wales, where we saw all that activity on Monday, certainly seeing

00:58a drier and sunnier day, one or two showers for the Highlands and some low cloud creeping

01:03into the northeast of Scotland, feeling cool where that happens.

01:07But elsewhere, where we've got that warm sunshine, temperatures up to the low to mid-twenties.

01:12Warmest spot?

01:13Likely North Wales, northwest England and western Scotland, similar to Monday's warmest locations.

01:19Now, any showers that do form tend to drift away and ease into the evening.

01:23By midnight most places are dry, although a couple of showers may well run along the south

01:28west of Cornel for a time.

01:30The low cloud in the northeast tends to creep inland across parts of central Scotland into

01:34northeast England, perhaps a few patches further south as well.

01:38A brisk breeze from the North Sea, keeping the coast in double figures.

01:42Inland, where we've got lighter winds and clear spells, we're into the single figures.

01:45A fresh start on Wednesday, but for many a dry start and plenty of sunshine first thing.

01:52Always the chance of those showers continuing for the southwest of Cornel and one or two

01:56may pop up across western parts of Devon and Cornel into the afternoon as temperatures rise.

02:00But this is the one remaining location for showers.

02:04On Wednesday, elsewhere across the UK, high pressure is building back in, leading to plenty

02:09of dry weather and increasingly sunny skies.

02:11Otherwise, after the cloudy start in places, the cloud tends to lift and burn back to the

02:16coast.

02:17So, on the coast, because of the stronger breeze, temperatures will only be around 13-14 Celsius.

02:24But inland, where we've got some sunshine, still the low to possibly mid-20s.

02:27I think the warmest spots likely across central southern England, 24 Celsius by the afternoon.

02:35Then, as we go into the next few days, really it's a little change with high pressure building

02:41back from the North, that brief thundery blip, a distant memory and high pressure remains

02:48through Friday, Saturday, Sunday and into the start of next week.

02:52That of course means a lot of dry weather across the UK and no useful rain for some time.

03:00It also means plenty more sunshine, particularly across western areas where it will stay warm.

03:04But in the east, because of the easterly breeze around that high, it will be a lot cooler.

03:08There will be some areas of cloud around at times through Friday and the weekend.
