00:00Hi there, we're going to see a day-by-day build in temperatures through this week and

00:05into the weekend because of an increasing spell of settled weather and high pressure

00:11dominating things.

00:12At the moment, high pressure extends into southern parts of the UK and that means we

00:16do still have some frontal systems toppling into northern areas, bringing cloud for Northern

00:21Ireland and much of Scotland, particularly the Central Belt northwards, and then we've

00:25got these outbreaks of rain through Orkney, northwest mainland Scotland and the Outer

00:29Hebrides.

00:30That's going to make it feel cool, but where we've got the sunny spells further south,

00:3425, 26 Celsius possible, so warm and certainly temperatures a few degrees above average for

00:41the time of year and those temperatures are only going to increase over the coming days.

00:45Clear spells though across much of England and Wales overnights, that's going to allow

00:48some mist and fog to develop, particularly in the south.

00:51A different story further north where the cloud tends to thicken across Scotland, Northern

00:55Island into Northern England, outbreaks of rain slipping south and winds picking up across

01:00northwest Scotland with the risk of gales in some exposed areas.

01:05Some rain, heavy at times, will move through the Central Belt first thing and then it will

01:09sink into southern Scotland, parts of northwest England as well as Northern Ireland.

01:14It's tending to fizzle out as this front moves into high pressure which will continue to

01:18dominate across the southern half of the UK.

01:21The sunny skies after that early fog disappears and another warm day with 26 or even 27 Celsius

01:27possible, cooler further north and west, mid to high teens, showers into the north and

01:32northwest of Scotland, not quite as blustery as Monday and Monday night.

01:37Then we've got this weak front just becoming trapped under an area of high pressure, so a

01:41zone of cloudy skies for much of Wales into Northern England, parts of the Midlands, tending

01:45to break up overnight as high pressure builds in and that's going to build in from the south

01:50becoming extensive across the UK, although still some outbreaks of rain possible in the

01:55far north and northwest.

01:56And then by Thursday that high pressure is starting to migrate to the east and that allows

02:02eventually into the weekend temperatures to rise from the south even further.

02:07So initially the day-by-day temperature increase through the working week is because we've got

02:11high pressure and spells of sunshine and then the possibility through the weekend of even

02:16higher temperatures arriving from the south and we're talking about temperatures into

02:21the low 30s by Saturday.

02:24So a spell of heat on the way by the weekend, temperatures rising each day, high pressure

02:30bringing long spells of sunshine and of course we've got the summer solstice on Saturday so

02:35UV levels are going to be high or very high in places, pollen will be high through the week

02:40so watch out for both of those aspects if you're spending long periods of time outdoors.
