00:00Hello again. It's a cloudy, a breezy but a humid afternoon to come and it's hot in places,

00:08mainly the south east of England. At the moment, a couple of cold fronts across the country.

00:13Now those weather fronts have brought some heavy rain earlier but the heaviest rain is

00:17now moving along and we're left with an area of cloud for most of the UK and damp conditions

00:24for parts of western England, Wales. Brighter skies for Scotland and Northern Ireland, a

00:29keen breeze coming in, bringing some showers for western Scotland for example but breaking

00:34that cloud up for the east of Scotland where it will be warm this afternoon with temperatures

00:38reaching 25 Celsius. 24 to 26 for eastern England but the real heat there across the

00:44south east where it's going to stay dry, there'll be some sunshine coming through and temperatures

00:49are likely to reach 30 Celsius. Feeling humid wherever you are, whether you've got that

00:53cloud or more especially where you've got the sunshine. Areas of light rain and drizzle

00:58continue to affect northern England and parts of Wales, particularly the higher ground and

01:01the coastal areas into the evening and that rain will increasingly turn up across Devon

01:07and Cornwall as well. Showers and more prolonged rain push into western Scotland and Northern

01:12Ireland. Again, breezy to come overnight with breeze keeping temperatures up at 17 to 19

01:19Celsius. So a warm night, an uncomfortable night for some and a cloudy, gloomy start

01:25to the day on Wednesday. A lot of cloud covering the hills of Wales and the south west and

01:30an area of rain first thing pushes into the Midlands, into central southern England, turns

01:35to showers and then fades away before it even affects the south east. So once again, largely

01:40dry here and another very warm day, 28, 29 Celsius once the sun comes through. Also,

01:46a cooler feel for Scotland, Northern Ireland, Northern England with bright spells and showers

01:51expected after a blustery start, the wind does ease away. Now for the rest of the week,

01:57we're going to see the cooler air in the north spread south and well, it looks like Thursday

02:02and Friday will bring further showers to northern parts of the country whilst it stays dry in

02:07the south and then high pressure builds for the weekend, so drier more widely.
