00:00High pressure leading to high temperatures, also high UV and high grass pollen levels across the country for the next few days.

00:09Lots of sunshine around through the course of Thursday.

00:11The main exception has been northern Scotland, where a weather front has been providing thicker cloud and drizzly rain.

00:16Still across Shetland, so well into the night, but it is tending to pull away.

00:20So it's going to be a sunnier day across the north of Scotland on Friday.

00:25Once more, though, through the Irish Sea, mist, low clouds, sea fog is likely to develop more widely and thicken up along some coasts,

00:33particularly the east coast of Northern Ireland may be a bit grey first thing on Friday morning,

00:38but also maybe Anglesea, the Isle of Man and around the coast of southwest Scotland.

00:43Quite a comfortable night across northern Scotland.

00:45Temperatures here, certainly rural spots, dipping down below the teens.

00:49But elsewhere, we will be in the mid-teens for most, and towns and cities in the south, the high teens.

00:55Cardiff, London may stay at about 18 Celsius, so a warm start to what will be a hot Friday for most.

01:01It will be a grey start for some in and around the Irish Sea, so the east coast of Northern Ireland in particular,

01:08parts of the southwest of Scotland, the north coast of Wales too.

01:12It should shrink that mist and sea fog to reveal some sunshine for pretty much all parts by the afternoon.

01:19As I said, a sunnier day for the Highlands and the Western Isles compared to Thursday.

01:23It's going to be a hotter day for many, with more sunshine across the north of Scotland.

01:27Temperatures quite a few degrees higher, but generally the warmth is spreading northwards.

01:32The coasts will always be a bit cooler, where we'll see some pleasant sea breezes.

01:35But inland, temperatures getting into the 30s more widely over the Midlands and East Wales.

01:41Then through Friday evening, a balmy summer's evening for most.

01:44Notice this thickening cloud out into the North Sea this time.

01:47And that could just develop more widely and start to drift inland as we head into the weekend.

01:52And again, it will be a warm start to the weekend.

01:56If anything, further north of Scotland and Northern Ireland, a warmer night, particularly so over the Highlands of Scotland.

02:03And temperatures in many areas in the mid to high teens to start the weekend.

02:07But again, we should have lots of sunshine on Saturday.

02:10Probably the peak of the heat.

02:12But not necessarily on the East Coast, because here there could be some mist and low cloud.

02:16Again, I'm hopeful it will shrink away from land.

02:19Just linger out to sea to reveal quite a bit of sunshine by the afternoon.

02:22But some coasts might just keep that mist and low cloud sticking by as we start to see a bit more of a breeze coming in from the sea.

02:29But for most, the winds are light, which means the temperatures are really going to rise on Saturday.

02:35Probably peaking in this zone across East Wales or West Midlands, 32, 33.

02:40Small chance we get to 34.

02:42On Saturday, northern parts of Scotland may get up to 30 degrees Celsius.

02:47The Murray Firth, the Highlands in particular.

02:50Again, some coasts will be cooler.

02:52And particularly if that mist and low cloud is a bit more stubborn, some of those East Coasts could be quite a bit cooler.

02:57So that's something to take note of into the weekend.

03:00This map is showing the anomalies compared to the mid-month average.

03:04So you can see that East Coast may actually be close to the average temperature, whereas most places are going to be above.

03:11Parts of Wales, western parts of England, northern Scotland will be well above.

03:16Now, by the time we get to Sunday, temperatures are starting to dip down.

03:20More notably, again, in eastern areas, but not as hot.

03:24That's probably a couple of degrees lower in most areas.

03:27Likely still to get to 30 Celsius in one or two places.

03:30And notice northern Scotland is showing the highest anomalies.

03:34The temperature's more above average here compared to other areas.

03:38So lots of sunshine to come this weekend.

03:40As I mentioned, UV and pollen will be high.

03:44If you're not a fan of the hot weather, want to know how to cope with it better,

03:47deal with UV and high pollen, then there's lots of good advice on the Met Office website if you search for weather ready.
