00:00Good morning. A bit of a dull and damp day today for Northern Ireland and the West Coast of Scotland.
00:05But for many, we will see quite a bit of sunshine and that's really going to lift the temperatures.
00:10A very warm day for the bulk of England and Wales, widely into the mid-20s and then around London,
00:1528 Celsius is possible, that's 82 Fahrenheit.
00:19Cooler conditions for Scotland and Northern Ireland, temperatures here much closer to average
00:23and that's because it is going to be pretty cloudy.
00:26We've started the day with outbreaks of rain for Northern Ireland and Western Scotland,
00:30some heavy bursts here as well. It will ease off a little through the day.
00:34Showery rain for the Central Belt, Southern and Eastern Scotland, that should tend to peter out.
00:39So, actually for a good chunk of Scotland, most of the afternoon will be dry but predominantly cloudy.
00:44I fancy the Moray Firth may brighten up and the Outer Hebrides may cheer up as well.
00:49But staying pretty dull and damp for Northern Ireland and the West Coast of Scotland.
00:54Some mist and fog around right now, that should tend to melt away fairly sharply.
00:59One or two showers possible for North Wales, North West England but most of England and Wales will be fine and sunny.
01:05Maybe a few more of those showers drifting across Northern England this evening.
01:09The rain should peter out this evening across Northern Ireland and generally for many it will be a dry night.
01:16It's going to be a warm night, a little bit warmer than the night just gone for most.
01:20Temperatures likely to hold up in urban areas, 16, 17 degrees Celsius.
01:25So, quite a warm start to Friday. That's going to be a hot day where we see the sunniest skies over Central and Eastern parts.
01:31Further west, a bit more cloud. So, some of these coasts around South West England, West Wales, North West England,
01:37West Coast of Scotland could be a bit grey and murky.
01:40But generally, tomorrow a drier day for Northern Ireland and the West Coast of Scotland
01:44until this next area of rain comes into the North West late on.
01:49Still a fair bit of cloud around but plenty of hot, hazy sunshine over the Midlands and Eastern England.
01:54Temperatures higher tomorrow likely to reach 30, perhaps even 31 in and around the London area
02:00or even further north without the rain.
02:03Yes, still quite a bit of cloud but some brightness lifting temperatures into the low 20s.
02:07The main exception will be the Outer Hebrides where temperatures will only be in the mid teens.
02:12This weather front though is going to mix things up a little bit as we head into the weekend.
