00:00Hello again. An extreme heat warning has been issued for Sunday and Monday because of exceptionally

00:05high temperatures expected to develop through Sunday and into the start of next week. More

00:11than 32 Celsius for much of England and Wales, mid to possibly high 30s and those kinds of

00:17temperatures unusual if not unprecedented in the UK could cause impacts to infrastructure

00:25and to the health of the population. But before we get there for the rest of Tuesday it's actually

00:30turning cooler for a time across northern parts of the UK. A weak cold front pushing through

00:35that has brought some rain to the northwest earlier in the day but by the afternoon it's

00:40just an area of cloud essentially extending from southern Scotland, Northern Ireland into much of

00:44England and Wales. So the sky's not as blue for many on Tuesday afternoon and even some spots of

00:49rain coming through for parts of Wales into the Midlands. Most places dry, most places still warm.

00:56It's significantly cooler in the northern half of the country behind that cold front, still 25

01:01Celsius possible in Aberdeen, closer to average for Glasgow and Belfast, 19 here. But further south

01:07mid to high 20s generally could just about scrape a 30 or 31 Celsius towards the southeast

01:14given some sunshine here. But there will be a lot of high cloud around and that high cloud sticks

01:19around on Tuesday night in many places. Increasingly there will be showers arriving through

01:24the evening across northern and northwest Scotland, a brisk breeze here but elsewhere a mix of clear

01:30spells and areas of cloud and a mild night for many. A muggy one in the south but not quite as

01:38warm as it has been further north with that fresher airflow behind the cold front. Nevertheless a bright

01:45start to the day on Wednesday, plenty of sunshine first thing. Areas of cloud sink south and then

01:51widespread sunny skies for much of England and Wales. A bit more cloud coming along for Northern

01:55Ireland and for Scotland and a few showers possible for central and northern Scotland, perhaps one or

02:01two for the north coast of Northern Ireland. But for most it's a fine day, there'll be some sunny

02:06spells, the best of which will be in the south and it stays hot in the south, mid to high 20s once

02:12again. But you can see average temperatures further north, northern England, Scotland, Northern Ireland

02:18more like 18 to 21 Celsius. We'll keep you updated as always as the heat builds once

02:25again later this week and into the weekend and you can follow all those updates on social media.
