00:00Hello there. The threat of thunderstorms continues through Tuesday night across

00:04England and Wales, becoming confined to central and southern parts of England

00:08and Wales through Wednesday. Through Tuesday evening, still some showery rain

00:13across the southwest of Scotland, the far northwest of England, extending

00:17towards the eastern side of Northern Ireland. And then we run into this

00:21thundery rain, slow moving across central southern parts of England and Wales. Now

00:26this rain again will be associated with some torrential downpours, lots of

00:30surface water on the roads, the risk also of lightning and hail, so some dangerous

00:34driving conditions if you run into some heavy bursts. Cooler in the north through

00:39the early hours of the morning, temperatures dipping down to single

00:41figures but still muggy across central and eastern areas of England. First thing

00:46then on Wednesday morning, a fine start to the day for Scotland, a light breeze,

00:50some sunshine. That sunshine extends down to Northern Council of England. The cloud

00:55will break up across Northern Ireland, a good day here to be out and about with

00:59some brighter weather and you can see some sunshine just appearing across the

01:02northwest of Wales. But here's that thundery rain across the bulk of Wales,

01:07extending towards Lincolnshire and some clusters of thunderstorms developing and

01:10moving very slowly across the home counties, central southern England as

01:14well as East Anglia. So through the day this is where the lively weather will be,

01:18becoming drier across its northern edge and fine conditions across the bulk of

01:22Scotland, Northern Ireland, Northern England, even Mid Wales seeing some fine

01:26weather through the afternoon, the northern part of the Midlands. But these

01:29thunderstorms will continue to rumble on again with that heavy rain as we head

01:34through the afternoon and into evening time, anywhere across East Anglia down

01:38towards the southeast of Wales, southwards and that's where the warning

01:42remains in place throughout the day. Temperatures here 22, 24 Celsius, slightly

01:47below average and the cooler spots of Scotland and Northern Ireland through

01:51the afternoon on Wednesday. So that's the picture as we head through to

01:55Wednesday, the middle part of the week and then through Thursday, all change

01:59yet again. To start the day we could see some thunderstorms across the southeast

02:03East Anglia. This showery rain extends from Scotland and Northern Ireland down

02:07towards England and Wales where we'll lose a lot of the rain, still some

02:10showery bursts but not a lot associated with it. And then more showery rain on

02:14Friday and then another band of wet weather arrives on Saturday, again moves

02:18down towards the more central part of the country. So here's your city's list

02:22on Thursday, more in the way of cloud through the afternoon, more rain comes in

02:26from the west as I said, the winds will pick up some strength and after the

02:29showers die away, some drier skies across more central and eastern areas. And

02:33here's your outlook through Thursday, showery bursts of rain but some brighter

02:37skies, the clouds will break up and feeling warm in any sunshine 20 to 25

02:41degrees Celsius. Your outlook then into the weekend, it's a little bit more messy,

02:45a bit fresher at times, showery bursts of rain, more rain on Sunday from the west.

02:49Bye bye.
