00:00Hello there, welcome to a Wednesday evening weather update from the Met Office.
00:05Temperatures are building day on day, peaking into the 30s as we head through Thursday as well as Friday.
00:11High pressure firmly in charge, hence the reason why the weather is so settled.
00:15We do have a weather front which will bring a little bit of rain to western Scotland, any showers reserved for Shetland.
00:21Through Thursday we inherit a south-easterly wind.
00:24The air across France is very warm if not hot at the moment and one or two showers in the mix through Friday.
00:29But there will be fairly few and far between.
00:32However, through this evening, fairly stubborn clouds across Scotland, Northern Ireland.
00:36A little bit of patchy rain just clipping the western side of Scotland as it clears the far north of Northern Ireland.
00:42For England and Wales it's a clear night, starry skies, perhaps one or two shallow mist and fog patches.
00:47And some clearer skies across the far north of Scotland where temperatures could dip to around 8 or 9 degrees Celsius.
00:52But very warm in the south, uncomfortable for sun.
00:55Temperatures for the likes of Cardiff as well as Bristol towards London, 16 to 18 degrees Celsius.
01:02That's the lowest temperatures overnight.
01:04So into tomorrow morning, muggy for many.
01:07We'll see that cloud continue its passage northwards through the first part of the day across western Scotland.
01:12The odd spot of two of rain just for the Outer Hebrides.
01:14Now for Shetland, you'll see some fine weather as well as Orkney and Caithnest with some hazy sunshine as the cloud breaks across the central belt,
01:21allowing for some fine weather to come through.
01:23Sunny spells elsewhere, Northern Ireland, England and Wales.
01:27And warmer along this eastern strip relative to today.
01:29We'll see temperatures here, 25 Celsius.
01:32For mid Wales, 30 down towards the southeast, again a 30 Celsius.
01:3523, 24 for the central belt of Scotland, 24 also for Northern Ireland.
01:40So a very warm day, if not hot.
01:42And that leads into a warm night yet again.
01:46Warmer across Scotland than the last few nights.
01:48And even further south, we'll see temperatures across particularly central and southern areas, the high teens.
01:54And that warmth continues to maintain itself further north as well.
01:57As well as two showers just come in across Irish Sea coast.
02:01A bit of a breeze across the west country through the first part of the morning.
02:05But look at this, it's a lovely day to be out and about.
02:07But remember, UV levels will be high, so some strong sunshine.
02:11And some high levels of pollen as well, particularly for England and Wales.
02:15Now through the afternoon, temperatures rising even higher.
02:18So 25 across the north there.
02:2028 to 31 for places such as Birmingham, eastern parts of Wales as we head through the afternoon.
02:2731 down towards the home counties as well.
02:30Here's your outlook through Saturday.
02:32Yet again, it's a day of sunshine and not a lot of change really.
02:37Winds are light.
02:38It's going to feel very hot, particularly across England and Wales.
02:41Warm further north.
02:42Temperatures start to wane across more northern and western areas through Sunday.
02:46We'll see some showers, particularly across western Scotland.
02:48But we hang on to the heat across eastern counties.
