00:00Hi there.

00:01Whilst it's southern parts of the UK where we've seen some hot and sunny weather so far

00:05this week, the heat and the sunshine extends nationwide during the rest of Friday as high

00:10pressure pushes out to the North Sea, establishing a southerly airflow, bringing heat from northern

00:16France but also allowing some instability to arrive from the west.

00:21So we've already seen a few showers into the south-west, they'll tend to drift north-eastwards

00:25into Wales, one or two showers also across parts of northern England and north-east Scotland,

00:31perhaps the odd thundery downport but these will be very isolated.

00:33For the vast majority it's dry, it's bright, some medium-level cloud drifting here and there

00:39but where we get that very strong June sunshine, temperatures reaching the mid to high 20s widely

00:43even as far north as northern mainland Scotland, Northern Ireland and the peak temperatures

00:48through the Midlands, north-west England, 30 to 32 Celsius possible.

00:53We will see some of these showers and they'll continue into the evening for parts of north-east

00:57Scotland and northern England.

00:59Eventually most places are dry overnight and we will have clear spells but some cloud will

01:04arrive into the west where it will stay humid.

01:06The most humid air is in the west, temperatures in places not dropping below 20 or 21 Celsius,

01:13so another uncomfortable night for sleeping.

01:15And then we get off to that very warm start on Saturday, temperatures shooting up quickly

01:19during the morning and into the afternoon.

01:21There's a chance of some showers and perhaps the odd thunderstorm in places particularly

01:25towards the west and south-west but the focus initially is on the rising temperatures and

01:30that very strong June sunshine, summer solstice of course, so it doesn't get much stronger

01:34than this.

01:35And temperatures as a result reaching the low 30s across parts of central and eastern England,

01:40perhaps as high in one or two spots as 33 or 34 Celsius.

01:45Edinburgh 27 Celsius but all that heat may result in some very severe thunderstorms and the main

01:53focus area, parts of north Wales, north Midlands, northern England as we go into Saturday evening

01:58for some serious downpours, large hail, gusty winds, frequent lightning as well.

02:04Not everywhere of course is going to see one of these, they'll be highly hit and miss.

02:08Some places will avoid them entirely even in that main risk area but where they do occur,

02:13there could be some considerable impacts.
