00:00Hello. After a fairly gloomy start to the week, there is a chance of some sunshine for

00:05some southern areas through today. It's not going to feel too bad in the July sunshine,

00:09but for most of us, it's going to be another pretty cloudy day. We've got a large swathe

00:14of cloud wrapped around this area of low pressure, pushing rain into many northern areas of the

00:19UK. We've already seen some pretty intense rainfall across the far north and east of

00:24Scotland and some heavy showers already starting to break out across some north-western areas

00:30of England and south-western Scotland. Here, there's a chance of thunderstorms through

00:34this afternoon, so there could be some localised flooding here as well as across north-eastern

00:38Scotland where the rain will continue. It's also going to be a pretty wet day across parts

00:42of Northern Ireland and there will be a bit of a breeze through the Irish Sea as well.

00:46A different story though further south. After a fairly cloudy start to the day, it's likely

00:50to stay dry through much of the day and there will be some sunshine around. Highs of 23

00:55degrees in London, 22 degrees for many south-eastern areas. Not too bad at all, particularly considering

01:01the latest weather recently. Now into this evening, that low pressure is still staying

01:06with us. It's drifting slowly north and eastwards, but that rain will continue to wrap around

01:10it, pushing into parts of north Wales, into the Midlands as well. So it will turn a bit

01:14drier in parts of southern Scotland, some areas of northern England, and we'll lose

01:18that thunderstorm risk overnight tonight. But there's going to be a lot of cloud around

01:21for many northern areas. That's going to hold temperatures up in the south though, staying

01:25dry and clear. Temperatures around 11 or 12 degrees first thing. But that does mean there

01:30will be some sunshine around first thing across the south. But again, another cloudy start

01:35to the day for many northern areas. Some brightness though moving into parts of Northern Ireland

01:40and western Scotland through Thursday as the rain becomes a little bit more focused across

01:44parts of Wales, the Midlands and again, northern areas of England, where we could see some

01:49heavy showers once again on Thursday afternoon. But for the south and east and particularly

01:55across the south coast, they get 22 degrees, 23 degrees, fairly pleasant in the sunshine.

02:00But I think across the north where we get this northerly wind, particularly across eastern

02:03Scotland is going to be disappointingly cool for the next few days. Now heading into Thursday

02:10evening, that fine weather across the northwest starts to become a little bit more widespread.

02:14That's because we do have a ridge of high pressure building in from the north and west

02:18to end the week. And that means there will be more in the way of drier and brighter weather

02:24just for a few days. You can find out more details about all of that, though, with our

02:27latest 10 day trend with Aidan on YouTube. And I'll see you again soon. Bye bye.
