00:00Hi there, heatwave number three is on the way for later this week, but actually we start

00:05the week with cool and showery weather in many places.

00:08We've had some longer spells of rain through Monday morning, they're now clearing, but

00:12further showers follow into the north and west of Scotland, parts of north Wales, northern

00:17and central England as well will see showers into the afternoon.

00:22In between, a lot of cloud, but some brighter spells emerging and the best of the sunshine

00:26will be through Wales and the south-west of England, feeling pleasant in the sunshine,

00:30but we've still got this cool breeze coming down from the north-northwest.

00:34Then as we head into the evening, actually, the showers will likely turn heavier for a

00:38time, especially through southern Scotland into north-east England and then those showers,

00:43even some thunderstorms associated with these, run down the North Sea coast, pushing into

00:47East Anglia and the south-east by the early hours and some of them affecting the Midlands

00:52and perhaps further west still.

00:55But they clear through by dawn, clear skies, mostly dry weather follows and a cool night,

01:00more comfortable for sleeping than many nights this month so far.

01:05We start off Tuesday with plenty of sunshine, but there will be further showers for a time,

01:10at least through the morning and early afternoon across the east of England, particularly East

01:13Anglia, and there will be thicker clouds rolling into Northern Ireland and Western Scotland,

01:18this bringing some outbreaks of mostly light to moderate rain.

01:22But in between, plenty of sunny spells.

01:25In fact, for many places, we end up by the afternoon with sunny skies and feeling warmer as a result.

01:3124, even 25 Celsius in the south, high teens, low 20s elsewhere.

01:38We keep those bright skies into the evening, but I think for parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland,

01:43we've got the areas of cloud moving their way eastwards, outbreaks of mostly light and patchy

01:49rain towards the west.

01:50These weather fronts will wriggle across the north of the UK mid-week, but they tend to

01:55push north as high pressure develops once again across many parts of the UK, this extending

02:02from the Azores and then becoming more centred over the UK.

02:06And this will lead to day-by-day temperature rises and certainly by the end of the week,

02:11we're looking at widely the high 20s and low 30s, not just in the southeast, I think further

02:18north and west as well, we'll see temperatures rising heading into the weekend.

02:22So, I think technically, it will be a heatwave for many parts of the UK with that strong sunshine.

02:29Again, towards the east, chances of some low cloud and cooler weather at times, but certainly

02:34for many with high pressure, it's going to be a settled end to the week.
