00:00Good afternoon. A brief spell of summers to come to end the week across southern areas

00:04and it will turn much drier and brighter through this afternoon. But it has been a rather cloudy

00:09start across the UK and that's because we've got low pressure dominating. Centred just

00:14to the east of the UK, wrapped around it though are these weather fronts. Now these are going

00:18to pivot around through the rest of this morning and into this afternoon bringing still some

00:23further spells of heavy rain. The main bulk of the rain though through this morning has

00:27been across eastern areas of northern England. Behind it though some heavy showers breaking

00:31out across eastern areas of Scotland this afternoon as well as northeastern England.

00:35We've got a weather warning here because there could be some surface water and potentially

00:39some localised flooding as well. Also showering outbreaks of rain will likely affect eastern

00:44areas of England still into this afternoon. But the further west you go the drier and

00:48brighter it becomes. There is a bit of a breeze around but there will be more in the way of

00:51sunshine and definitely more in the way of drier weather to end the day. Temperatures

00:55climbing into the low 20s across southern areas, higher teens across the north. So starting

01:00to feel a little bit warmer. As we head into this evening that drier and clearer weather

01:04will become more widespread as higher pressures building in for a couple of days. So much

01:09of the cloud melting away to leave clear skies for many areas. There will still be some showery

01:13outbreaks of rain pushing into the far north west but for most of us it's going to be a

01:18dry night. A slightly fresher night to come as well, particularly if you're in rural areas

01:23but still many towns and cities still in the low or potentially mid teens. And I think

01:28it's going to be a pretty bright start to Wednesday with the July sunshine it should

01:32warm up quite quickly even if you do see a fresher start. So plenty of sunshine to come

01:36through Wednesday, a much drier and widely brighter day. Plenty of sunshine through the

01:40morning, a little bit cloudier in the afternoon but still plenty of sunny spells. We could

01:44see the odd shower here and there across parts of England and Wales. Further you go towards

01:49Northern Ireland and western areas of Scotland we could see some outbreaks of rain and cloudier

01:53skies to end the day as this weather front is approaching from the west. But that high

01:58pressure is going to dominate at least through the rest of this week. So temperatures on

02:02Wednesday quite widely into the low 20s across much of England and Wales as well as parts

02:07of Scotland. We could see 24 or 25 degrees across southern areas. So a nice end to the

02:13day on Wednesday for most areas away from the far north and west and it looks like that

02:18will lead us into another fine day on Thursday as well. Temperatures likely climbing a little

02:24bit higher on Thursday. We could see temperatures climbing towards the low 30s by Friday as

02:29well. You can find more details on that across all of our YouTube videos. See you soon. Bye

02:34bye.
