00:00Good afternoon. Well, it's going to be another hot and sunny day out there.
00:04Yesterday, we got up to 34.7 degrees in England, and Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales today
00:11could see their hottest day of the year so far.
00:15So taking a look at the bigger picture then, we've got this ridge of high pressure extending
00:19across the UK, keeping things fine and settled.
00:22But if you're not a fan of the heat, well, there's some good news on the way.
00:25Low pressure will start arriving Sunday night and into Monday.
00:30So some fresher, cooler conditions on the way, but also bringing some showery outbreaks of rain
00:36and some thunderstorms.
00:38But back to the rest of this afternoon then.
00:41Well, wall-to-wall sunshine for many of us.
00:44Strong summer sunshine as well with high UV levels.
00:48So do take care if you are out and about today.
00:50Low cloud always lingering across the eastern coast.
00:54And here, that's where it's going to be feeling coolest today.
00:58Otherwise, out towards the west, that's where we'll see the highest temperatures.
01:02So we'll see temperatures climbing up to 34 degrees across parts of South Wales and the West Midlands.
01:09Northern Ireland, 28, 29, possibly 30 degrees.
01:13And Scotland in the west, we may see temperatures climbing 30, 31, possibly 32 degrees.
01:19But you can see, cooler across that eastern coast.
01:24There could even be the odd shower just developing across the south of Wales and the west of Northern Ireland.
01:29But otherwise, fine and dry.
01:33So as we go through Saturday evening, then we'll see the return of this low cloud from the North Sea,
01:37just edging further inland as we go through the night.
01:42Clearer skies always out towards the west, so Northern Ireland, Wales, southwest of England.
01:48But it is going to be another warm night out there and uncomfortable for sleeping.
01:54So temperatures not falling below 16, 17, possibly 18 degrees in some places.
02:00So as we start Sunday morning, then a cloudier start out there for some of us.
02:05That cloud will lift and break to reveal sunny or bright spells.
02:10Best of the sunshine tomorrow will be across Northern Ireland and Scotland.
02:14Southern parts of Scotland, though, may see the odd shower bubbling up.
02:18Likewise for northern parts of England and parts of Wales,
02:21with the sunshine turning increasingly hazy later on in the day across the far southwest of England,
02:27where we could see the odd shower.
02:30Otherwise, tomorrow it's still going to be very warm in places high as 29, 30, 31 degrees.
02:37Always cooler along that eastern coast, but just not as hot as what we'll see this afternoon.
02:43So as we go through Sunday evening, then, that's where we start to see our weather changing.
02:49So we'll start to see some showery outbreaks of rain arriving from the west,
02:53with always this low cloud still lingering across eastern coasts.
02:57So like I said, turning more unsettled as we go through Monday and Tuesday.
03:01But for more details on that, make sure to hit subscribe so you don't miss a forecast.
03:05And I'll see you very soon.
03:07Bye bye.
