00:00Hi there, many places have experienced warm sunny spells during Sunday although that can't

00:06be said for everywhere. There has been some lingering cloud particularly towards the southwest

00:10and that will tend to thicken up overnight with some mist returning to southwestern coasts.

00:16Patchy cloud here and there elsewhere and a thicker band of cloud and some patchy rain

00:21pushes into western Scotland, Northern Ireland with the breeze picking up here. Whether you've

00:25got the cloud or the clear spells overnight though it will be a warm not muggy night with

00:31temperatures in some places staying at 15 or 16 Celsius. So a warmer night certainly

00:37compared with many nights this June so far and it's a warm start to the day across the

00:43UK. Plenty of sunshine around but not entirely blue skies. Once more there'll be some low

00:49cloud around southwestern coasts could linger on the beaches through the day but inland

00:54it will tend to break up. There'll also be some thickening of the cloud across central

00:57parts during the afternoon. Meanwhile the early cloud and patchy rain for western Scotland

01:01and Northern Ireland tends to break up so brighter skies here by the afternoon. Some

01:05sunshine for many spots and it's going to feel warmer compared with recent days. Temperatures

01:12reaching 26 to 28 Celsius towards the south and east with Scotland seeing highs of 25

01:19Celsius in Northern Aberdeenshire, Northern Ireland 24 Celsius in places. 20 Celsius

01:24for Orkney, 17 there for Lerwick. So warmer than average certainly across the board. Then

01:31into the evening many places will see warm sunny spells continuing until the sun goes

01:36down but under the weak front just pushes into western Scotland, Northern Ireland again

01:41some thickening of the clouds and patchy light rain and drizzle as that front moves into

01:46an area of high pressure. That high pressure keeping things fine elsewhere but it's a warmer

01:51night still with 16 or even 17 Celsius for the overnight minimum in many places. We start

01:59Tuesday with plenty of sunshine across eastern and southern Scotland, much of England and Wales.

02:05Again we've got that thicker cloud associated with the weak front across western Scotland

02:09and Northern Ireland. The front then drifts east and gets a bit more active by the afternoon,

02:15could see some outbreaks of rain or showers, even some heavier rain for north-east Scotland,

02:20a few showers developing there for northern England as well. But further south plenty

02:25of sunshine and the heat intensifies with 28 or 29 Celsius possible in the south-east,

02:3225 there for eastern England. But a fresher day to come for Scotland and Northern Ireland

02:37because of the additional cloud and certainly as that front's gone through by Wednesday

02:42it's going to be a fresher feel across Scotland and Northern Ireland. But some sunshine returns

02:47for western Scotland and Northern Ireland. Meanwhile the heat continues to intensify

02:51further south and south-east, 30 Celsius likely to be the top temperature on Wednesday. But

02:58the odd thunderstorm could be triggered across parts of Wales and the south-west. Fast forward

03:03to Thursday and a bit of uncertainty about the top temperatures on Thursday in the east

03:08and south-east of England. The potential range there between 28 and 32 Celsius dependent

03:13on how quickly cooler and more changeable conditions spread in from the west with low

03:18pressure returning to the north-west. Showers or longer spells of rain for Scotland and

03:23Northern Ireland as well as later on western parts of the UK. And the potential for thunderstorms

03:29ahead of that system as it moves through Friday back to closer to average temperatures but

03:34more changeable in the north. We'll have much more on our YouTube channel. Bye bye.
