00:00Hi there.

00:01Whilst we've seen a dry and warm start to the week in the south, northern parts of the

00:05UK have been unsettled, but that north-south contrast diminishes over the next few days

00:10as high pressure builds in widely.

00:12In the meantime, a weather front is sinking south, although it's stalling across southern

00:17Scotland and northern England and north Wales.

00:18A damp and cloudy afternoon here, but the rain tending to ease later as it pushes into

00:25higher pressure, which is already resident across southern parts of the UK.

00:28High pressure with plenty of strong June sunshine leading to temperatures of 26, 27 Celsius,

00:34a small chance of a 28.

00:35Scotland and Northern Ireland are brighter compared with the start of the week, but still with

00:39a few showers across northern Scotland and gusty winds in the far north and northwest as well,

00:44increasingly so as the day comes to an end.

00:48Clear spells elsewhere though, and that front I mentioned that is across central areas tends

00:52to sink south and fizzle away.

00:54The cloud becoming broken up and plenty of clear spells overnight.

00:59Whether you're in the clear spells or the cloudier skies, temperatures will be holding

01:04up in the mid-teens, so a relatively mild night to come.

01:08I think for Scotland and Northern Ireland though, it will be fresher and we've got those gusty

01:12winds first thing across the north and northwest of Scotland tending to ease through the day.

01:17Temperatures of cloud for Scotland and Northern Ireland, some outbreaks of showery rain, especially

01:21through the central belt, but further south, once again across the southern half of the

01:26UK and increasingly so for Northern England as well, it's going to be sunny and warm.

01:33Temperatures widely in the mid-twenties, perhaps up to 27 degrees again in a few spots.

01:38Now, Wednesday evening, we'll see the cloud and some tending to be showery outbreaks of

01:45rain pushing into Western Scotland, but moving northwards as the whole pattern shifts so that

01:52we see high pressure setting up over the North Sea and that allows more of a southerly air

01:57flow.

01:58Now, initially temperatures are rising each day this week because of high pressure and the

02:02air sinking and compressing, but by the weekend we're likely to see increasing heat arrive

02:08from the south.

02:10That means widely it's going to be dry, sunny and warm, but we'll also see temperatures

02:15rise each day up into the low thirties by the weekend and we're not just talking about

02:21London, we're talking about low thirties possible across central and northern parts of England,

02:26perhaps east Wales, as well as the High Teens across many other parts of the UK.

02:31So becoming increasingly sunny, increasingly dry and increasingly hot by this weekend, we'll

02:37keep you updated on all the details, of course, on our YouTube channel, bye-bye.
