00:00Hello there. Another very warm or even hot day on Wednesday across much of the country

00:06before we watch towards the southwest as a thundery breakdown takes place. Into Wednesday

00:11as well as Thursday, warnings have been issued. Now let's have a look at those warnings. Through

00:17Wednesday from about lunchtime, this thunderstorm warning extends from the west country towards

00:22southern parts of Wales. Through Wednesday night and into Thursday, further showers will

00:26push ever northwards, reaching Northern Ireland, much of England and Wales. Again, with the

00:30risk of thunder, but certainly they will ramp up, helped with the strength of the sun through

00:34Thursday. So here's your warning zone through Thursday, anywhere from Wales, the Midlands

00:38up towards Northern England as well as Northern Ireland. Let's backtrack to Tuesday. A pleasant

00:44evening for most, dry for most as well, with some sunshine to end the day. Always more

00:49clouds across the far north of Scotland, that cloud coming and going, and some drier weather

00:54here mostly. Towards the southwest, this weak weather front here will introduce more

00:59cloud, the chance of a shower, and the winds will turn quite gusty, particularly over the

01:03moors. Elsewhere, it's a quiet evening. Watch out overnight for some mist and fog, especially

01:08across Northern Ireland, southwest Scotland and northern England. Temperatures holding

01:12up, it's going to feel muggy across many areas. Values coming in around 15 to 18 degrees Celsius,

01:20leading into a fine start to Wednesday morning. Now certainly Scotland will see some very

01:25high temperatures through Wednesday, helped with the sun from very early on. The fog will

01:30slowly burn off across Northern Ireland, across much of England and Wales, it's a fine start

01:35to the day. Now down towards Devon Cornwall as well as southern parts of Wales. Notice

01:40here there's a bit more cloud, a bit more breeze as well, but waiting in the wings will

01:43be some showers which will gradually migrate their way northwards through the morning and

01:48into the afternoon. Elsewhere, Wednesday will prove to be a fine day with some very

01:54warm sunshine, and we will get away with a dry day until much later on across many other

02:00parts. But notice by around lunchtime, there's a thunderstorm warning in force for the west

02:05country, southern parts of Wales, and these showers just gradually move across these parts.

02:10They'll come and go, some places will see drier weather, no showers at all, but if you

02:15catch one, it could turn quite heavy, as well as thundering. Here are your temperatures

02:19then. Well Scotland perhaps could see a 28, down towards the south we could see a 30.

02:24On the periphery towards the far south-west around 23, 24, but it will lead into a muggy

02:28night on Wednesday night. So here's your outlook for the next few days. Low pressure replaces

02:34high pressure, and what that means, it's slow moving, delivering cloud, showery bursts of

02:40rain with the risk of thunder through Thursday and perhaps even into Friday. Although Scotland

02:45will hang on to some drier weather through Thursday, but you'll see your fair share of

02:48showers during Friday. And the winds will pick up a little strength towards the north.

02:52So here's your outlook through Thursday. You can see here the risk of thunderstorms, particularly

02:57across the central swathe of the country. Showers further south as well, a little sunshine

03:01in the forecast towards the south, further north, yes we'll see more in the way of clouds

03:05as we head through to Friday. All in all, it turns a bit more unsettled through the

03:09latter part of the working week. Always the chance of showers into the weekend as well,

03:14but some good news, things tend to dry up through Saturday and into Sunday. And what

03:20that means, yes, you should see some brighter weather, some drier conditions, although certainly

03:24temperatures not going to be as high as Wednesday. Bye bye.
