00:01Hi there and welcome to the latest update from the Met Office.

00:04The heat wave is peaking through the next 24 hours with very warm nights expected, hot

00:11days for many of us and widespread clear skies as we go into Friday night but temperatures

00:16staying high.

00:17We're talking about lows, overnight lows in the high teens, perhaps even 20 Celsius

00:24in one or two spots, perhaps the warmest spot in the west of Scotland.

00:28Now there will be some low cloud drifting into the east, eastern Scotland, Shetland, eastern

00:33England as well and that will persist for the first few hours of Saturday before eventually

00:39retreating back towards the coast.

00:42So of course that's going to limit temperature rise a bit more in the east and we do have

00:46this easterly to south easterly airflow across the southeast.

00:50So temperatures in east Anglia in the southeast not as high as the last heat wave.

00:55The highest temperatures more shifted further north and west and it's likely to be Scotland

01:01and Northern Ireland's hottest day of the year so far.

01:03So let's take a look at that.

01:04Not so hot for Shetland and Orkney with the low cloud lingering, likewise for the east

01:08coast of Scotland.

01:10But widely inland through Scotland we're talking about temperatures reaching the high 20s

01:16and some parts of western, north-western and northern Scotland as well as Glasgow, 30 or

01:2131 Celsius.

01:23So hottest day of the year so far for Scotland and really quite exceptional temperatures for

01:29Scotland even for July.

01:31Northern Ireland, likewise, widely the high 20s, a little bit lower on that east and south-east

01:37coast but inland, 28, 29 Celsius, perhaps 30 degrees in one or two spots.

01:42Across much of northern and western England, similar kinds of temperatures, high 20s into

01:46the low 30s.

01:47But the highest temperatures in this heat wave, peaking on Saturday, likely to be in this zone

01:54across the west and south-west Midlands into east Wales, the west country, where widely

01:5931 or 32 Celsius is likely, 33, perhaps 34 degrees in one or two of the hotter spots.

02:07Notice the marked difference there for the east coast of England.

02:11Now this part of Kent saw the highest temperatures of the last heat wave but a different wind direction

02:17of course.

02:17In this case, limits those temperatures more but widely sunny skies whether you've got

02:22the high temperatures or not.

02:23We've just got that low cloud along the east coast that will tend to creep back inland.

02:29On Saturday night, it's going to be fickle and tenuous, not going to affect everyone.

02:34One or two showers, possibly turning up into the east coast as well as the night progresses.

02:39Elsewhere across the UK, clear skies and in some spots, temperatures even higher compared

02:44with Friday night.

02:45We could see 20 or 21 Celsius as temperatures dip across north-west Scotland.

02:52Now, the start of Sunday brings with it a fair amount of cloud in the east.

02:56Low cloud initially, again retreating to the beaches, but more extensive cloud starts to

03:02come in to the east and some wispy higher cloud elsewhere, so that's going to limit temperatures

03:07a bit more compared with Saturday.

03:08More widely, the mid to high 20s are 30 or 31 Celsius still possible though.

03:14Then into the start of Monday, the higher temperatures get shifted east, 28, 29 Celsius

03:19in the southeast, but cooler air arrives in the west along with some outbreaks of rain and

03:25showers, particularly towards the northwest as low pressure increasingly dominates as we

03:29go into next week.

03:31But just about anywhere could see a few spots of rain or some heavy showers and it's going

03:36to stay fairly mixed through next week, not as hot as we're expecting this weekend.

03:41Bye.
