00:00Good evening staying warm and sunny for many of us into Friday, but through this evening some further heavy

00:05Torrential downpours are at risk

00:07We still have a thunderstorm warning in force for central and eastern areas of England these areas of rain could bring

00:13Travel disruption spray on the roads and some hail as well as lightning through the first part of the night once they clear away

00:20Though it will turn much drier as we head into the early hours of Friday

00:23So clear skies for many areas, but we've still got some fairly humid and muggy air

00:28So it's still going to be quite a sticky night temperatures widely holding up in the mid-teens

00:33We could not dip down much below 20 degrees across past parts of eastern England a little bit cooler further north

00:40But still warmer here than it has been lately

00:43Now into Friday some wet weather will spread in from the north and west into parts of Northern Ireland

00:48Western areas of Northern Scotland in particular first thing the breeze will pick up as well

00:53And we could see some fairly heavy bursts towards lunchtime ahead of this a fairly dry and bright a day

00:58However, there is a risk of some heavy downpours across eastern England once again

01:03There's a further risk of thunderstorms here

01:04But we're not expecting them to be as widespread as we will have seen it through this afternoon

01:09Now for many of us as it is going to be another dry and sunny afternoon temperatures

01:13Once again, we'll be climbing into the mid to possibly high 20s 28 29 degrees possibly another 30 degrees on Friday

01:20But quite widely into the 20s turning fresher though

01:23Once this band of rain does clear away to the east now that rain will spread south and eastwards through Friday evening

01:30Pushing into parts of Wales Northern England and later into southeastern areas of England into Saturday

01:37But ahead of it, it should be a relatively dry evening across eastern areas

01:41And it will actually clear up quite nicely across the north and west. We've got that fresher air arriving by Saturday morning

01:48So as a result temperatures quite different quite a different feel by Saturday morning

01:52Temperatures dipping down much lower closer to this lower single figures for some areas of Scotland and Northern Ireland

01:57Still that humid feel though holding on in central and eastern areas as I said on Saturday

02:03There's some wet weather spreading into southern and eastern areas of England

02:06We could see some fairly heavy burst particularly into the afternoon across the south and east

02:11Elsewhere across Wales Northern England a pretty dry and bright afternoon or nice start to the weekend

02:17some showers though spreading into parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland these could be quite heavy and

02:22Blustery as well temperatures much closer to average by Saturday a little below average

02:27in fact for some areas of the north and west and a good

02:3110 degrees for some lower for some areas of central England for Saturday

02:35So definitely a different feel on the way to start the weekend and low pressure will be sticking around as we head into Sunday as well

02:42There's still be some drier and brighter weather

02:44But we're likely to see the next weather front arrive from the west
