00:00Hello again. Watch out for some heavy thundery showers across many parts of the UK as we

00:05go through Wednesday and Thursday, and that comes after some heavy persistent rain many

00:09of us had today, in association with a system that is now pushing away towards the east.

00:15Some lingering rain still on Wednesday across parts of the northeast, but for many we end

00:19up in a showery regime with that low pressure out in the North Sea keeping some showers

00:24piling down from the north. Back to the here and now though, and like I said, some of that

00:28more persistent rain lingering across some northeastern parts as we go overnight. Otherwise

00:32though, it's a case of showers for many places, quite a bit of cloud, some clear spells, but

00:38not a huge amount, and so temperatures aren't going to drop a huge amount, generally staying

00:42in double figures. Towards the south, central, southern parts of England and Wales, perhaps

00:47some more clear skies developing here, and as a result there may be a few pockets of

00:52mist and fog first thing on Wednesday morning. Otherwise, as we go through Wednesday itself,

00:56still quite cloudy towards the far northeastern, a few outbreaks of rain, perhaps some har

01:00pushing in across eastern parts of Scotland, but otherwise it's a day of some sunny breaks,

01:06but plenty of showers. The heaviest, most frequent showers will be across central eastern

01:10Scotland, where we do have a warning because of the thunderstorms, bringing hail, frequent

01:15lightning, gusty winds, as well as some torrential downpours. Also some hefty showers across

01:20northeast England, and even elsewhere, some heavy thundery downpours are quite likely,

01:26so perhaps the greatest chance of avoiding them somewhere towards the southwest. And

01:30there will be some sunshine in between those showers, and in the sunshine it's not going

01:34to feel too bad. Temperatures around average for the time of year, generally in the mid

01:38to high teens, possibly low 20s towards the southeast, highs of around 20 or 21 Celsius.

01:45Now the showers are going to continue for a time as we go towards this evening, but

01:49gradually the daytime showers will generally ease out overnight. That being said, there's

01:53the chance of some more focused showers developing across northern parts through the early hours

01:58of Thursday morning, and then gradually pushing their way southwards. Again, there will be

02:02some clear skies, perhaps across central southern parts, more clear skies than as we go through

02:06Tuesday night, and so perhaps a greater chance of seeing some mist and fog patches developing

02:11first thing on Thursday morning. But once more, temperatures not dropping a huge amount,

02:15most areas staying in double figures. As we go through Thursday itself, then watch out

02:20for the focus of showery rain across northern England, gradually making its way southwards.

02:25And even elsewhere, there will be some showers developing. And once more, they could turn

02:28heavy, possibly even thundery. But we will start to see something a little bit drier

02:33pushing into western parts. So for many areas towards the west, starting to turn that little

02:38bit drier, but elsewhere, plenty of showers continuing as we go through into the afternoon.

02:44Temperatures down a degree or so compared to Wednesday, just about staying mid to high

02:50teens. I think 20 Celsius would probably be pushing it. Like I said then, there are signs

02:55of something a bit drier developing towards the west, and that's because high pressure

02:58is likely to build in as we go towards the weekend. So still a few showers around by

03:03the weekend. They're going to be very isolated, most of us avoiding these. On the whole, a

03:07largely fine picture developing for most of us. That being said, with the risk of thunderstorms

03:12through the next few days, make sure you are weather ready. Head to our website for some

03:16advice on how to be from both ourselves and our partners. I'll see you again soon. Bye bye.
