00:00Hello there, the heatwave continues through this weekend, however there will be an increasing

00:04chance of a few thunderstorms developing and these will become increasingly widespread into

00:08the early part of next week. We've got low pressure starting to drift up from the south,

00:12that's combining with the high temperatures that we've got across the UK and is going to lead to

00:16some heavy downpours and thunderstorms as we go into the early part of next week before temperatures

00:21gradually lower and a fresher feel for all of us by the middle part of the week. It's hot and sunny

00:27though for the vast majority of us this afternoon, blue skies with a little bit of high level wispy

00:32cloud at times but a bit fresher around some north sea coasts of northern Scotland, eastern

00:38Scotland and northeast England with some low cloud and threat drifting onshore keeping some coastal

00:43areas quite a bit cooler. It stays dry for the majority of the UK overnight tonight though with

00:47clear skies though some mist and fog will once again reform near some northeastern coasts. A few

00:53showers may affect the far west of Cornwall and Northern Ireland later, possibly turning thundery

00:57but it'd be a warm night for all of us, temperatures not dropping below 20 celsius in a few spots.

01:03Sunny and warm once again tomorrow morning, those thunderstorms though developing across

01:08Northern Ireland and Scotland through the afternoon and one or two hit or miss

01:12thunderstorms elsewhere across the UK but the majority of England and Wales staying dry.

01:17Into next week it does turn gradually fresher after a hot day on Monday in the southeast,

01:22an increasing risk of showers and thunderstorms though so there is the potential for some flash

01:26flooding in places. Of course you can always keep up to date though with all the latest on the
