30 June - National weather forecast presented by Alex Burkill
Transcript
00:00Hello, very good day to you. Yes, it's exceptionally hot across some parts, but not everywhere through today.
00:06Actually, towards the north and west, a real fresher feel to things.
00:10There is also a frontal system lingering here, but further south and east, some hot air.
00:14But it's not quite as hot as it is across parts of France and Spain at the moment,
00:19where we've had some record-breaking heat over the last couple of days.
00:22Nonetheless, some very high temperatures to watch out for as we go through today.
00:26In fact, it's going to be the hottest opening day of Wimbledon on record as well,
00:31with lots of sunshine across the bulk of England and Wales, seeing temperatures rising very high indeed.
00:37With that sunshine, we are going to see a few showers developing across parts of the Midlands,
00:41maybe into northern England, and these could be a bit thundery, but they're going to be pretty isolated most places, avoiding them.
00:48Further north and west, that front then bringing a fair bit of cloud and also some blustery wet weather
00:53across parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland.
00:56We could see rainfall totals of around 30 millimetres, maybe even a little bit more than this, in just three to six hours.
01:02So some localised issues possible, particularly as we go later on in the day.
01:06The big talking point, though, are our temperatures.
01:09Yes, where we have that front towards the north-west, it's markedly fresher than towards the south-east.
01:13High teens, low 20s for some places here.
01:16But towards the south-south-east, central parts south-eastern England, we're going to see some very high temperatures in Ds.
01:23Likely to get to highs in the high 20s, low 30s quite widely, and we could even be looking at highs around 34 or 35 Celsius.
01:31So unlikely to exceed the all-time June record of 35.6.
01:37Not out of the question, but it's pretty unlikely.
01:40Then as we go through the end of the day, still hot and humid across much of England and Wales, still a few showers dotted around.
01:47The front in the north-west does edge a bit further south and eastwards across parts of Scotland,
01:52feeding through Northern Ireland and pushing into the far north of England.
01:55But it fizzles out as it goes through the night, and so a lot of that rain breaking up and dying away.
02:01So by the time that we get to around 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning, most places will be largely dry.
02:06Just a bit more cloud where we have that front lingering across southern-eastern Scotland, parts of northern England,
02:12into Wales and perhaps the south-west as well.
02:14It is going to be a very warm and humid night for many of us, particularly towards the south.
02:20Here, some places will most likely stay above 20 Celsius, so a tropical night for some.
02:26Difficult for sleeping.
02:27Markedly fresher, though, towards the north and west, with some places getting into single digits.
02:32And then as we go through tomorrow, still this front lingering across kind of this central third of the UK, I guess.
02:39It's a bit of a three-way split as we go through tomorrow, where we have that front lingering.
02:44More cloud across parts of southern Scotland, northern England, into Wales,
02:47and some rain pepping up as we go through the day as well.
02:50Could be some thunder mixed in with this.
02:52Towards the north-west, across much of Northern Ireland, northern and western Scotland,
02:56a good deal of fine sunny weather here.
02:58A bit of a change to today.
03:00Meanwhile, towards the south-east, lots of sunshine on offer.
03:04Barely a cloud in the sky across parts of the south-east.
03:07And because there will be almost unbroken sunshine through much of the day,
03:11although the air hasn't changed a huge amount, in fact, we're getting slightly fresher air coming in from the west,
03:17if anything, temperatures in the south-east could be a little bit higher through Tuesday than they will be through today.
03:23Across many places, things turning a little bit fresher,
03:26so temperatures dropping a little bit down.
03:28But yes, like I say, towards the south-east, they're looking similar, perhaps even a little bit higher.
03:32So 34, possibly 35, even 36 Celsius isn't out of the question.
03:37Obviously, that won't affect the all-time June record, as tomorrow is the 1st of July.
03:43Then, as we go through later on in the week, we do see some fresher air coming in from the west.
03:48There is a system bringing some wet weather to the south-east on Wednesday into Thursday for a time.
03:52But yes, a real change to a drop in our temperatures, so some more comfortable nights ahead.
03:57And whilst it is still going to be warm in any sunshine, it's not going to be anywhere near as hot as it is to start the week.
04:03There is then a front coming in from the north-west as we go through Friday.
04:06That's likely to push its way south-eastwards as we go into the weekend,
04:09so most of us will see some wetter weather times.
04:13For more information about what to expect through this week's weather,
04:16well, check out our week-ahead forecast, which will be available with honour later on.
04:20I'll see you again soon. Bye-bye.
