00:00Hello there and a very good morning to you on this Wednesday morning which is

00:05sunny for most. It's been very muggy overnight across England and Wales but

00:10as you can see high pressure firmly in charge. However towards the south the

00:14air is becoming a little bit more unstable and in fact through the

00:17afternoon a thunderstorm warning kicks in across southern counties associated

00:22with some thunderstorms which currently are across the near continent but they

00:26could develop in situ across these parts elsewhere it's a fine day. A few

00:30fleeting showers this morning across Orkney one or two even for Shetland

00:35elsewhere it's a fine morning for Scotland albeit rather cool first thing.

00:39Now through the morning the cloud will mix up with some sunshine across Northern

00:43Ireland and Northern England so some brighter skies emerging and it's a

00:47muggy start to the day across the bulk of England and Wales and also mostly dry

00:52but notice these showers just lurking along the channel so we'll see the cloud

00:56build through the morning into the afternoon across these parts and one or

01:00two sporadic but heavy bursts of thundery rain are possible through the

01:05latter part of the day. Elsewhere through this morning well it's fine and it's dry

01:10lots of sunshine to be had and even these showers across the far north

01:14they're tending to fade away but notice by around lunchtime we could see some

01:19thunderstorms developing across the southeast even further west and this

01:23warning continues through the afternoon and into evening time. Strong sunshine

01:28through the afternoon allowing temperatures to rise very quickly across

01:32England and Wales it's another hot day also humid temperatures across Wales 26

01:37to 28 30 to 32 across the far south of England but a pleasantly warm 20 or 21

01:43across Scotland and Northern Ireland. Now if you are heading out on Wednesday

01:48evening it's another fine one across Scotland as well as Northern Ireland and

01:52much of England and Wales but notice towards the south yet again one or two

01:57sporadic bursts of showery rain are lurking out there again with the risk of

02:02thunder and lightning and in fact through Wednesday evening this evening

02:07and overnight the cloud will build further the air will become primed and

02:11we are likely to see some heavy showery rain move across England and Wales. You

02:16can see it developing through this evening and then pushing ever northwards

02:20another batch for Wales up towards Northern England again the risk of

02:24thunder here thunder and lightning for the Midlands Central Southern England

02:27East Anglia Eastern counties and some heavy downpours likely into the early

02:32hours of Thursday morning. Now for Scotland we could see a few showers

02:35across Western Scotland into Thursday but a bright start to the day further

02:39north and east and further south across much of England and Wales it's a fine day

02:45away from eastern counties where these thunderstorms could rumble on into the

02:48afternoon. Northern Ireland having a fine day as well some sunshine coming through

02:52here and temperatures upper degree here 22-23 degrees Celsius but hanging on to

02:56that heat further south and east and pretty much that's how we see Friday

03:00although some showery bursts coming in from the west and it's turning a bit

03:03fresher here into the weekend. See you later.
