00:00Hello there. Saturday was a fine and dry day for many of us and feeling very warm in some
00:05prolonged sunshine, but the heat is going to continue to build as we move through the
00:09next few days. As high pressure shifts eastwards, we'll pick up a southerly airflow and tap
00:15into some extremely hot air from the continent that will spread across the UK. As a result
00:20of this, there are several extreme heat warnings that have been issued, an amber warning for
00:25Sunday that covers many areas of England and into Wales. As we move into Monday and
00:30Tuesday, the heat will continue to build, so an extension to that amber warning is then
00:34in force for southwest England, Wales and pushing into southern Scotland, whilst a separate
00:40red extreme heat warning is also issued for central areas of England, where high impacts
00:46are very likely and there is a risk of danger to life. We'll start to see the influence
00:50of this heat through Saturday evening and overnight. There will be some rain across
00:55Northern Ireland and western parts of Scotland, clear spells across many other areas of England
01:01and Wales, but temperatures will not be falling too far, many towns and cities holding up
01:06around the mid-teens, so a rather warm start to Sunday morning and the heat will then continue
01:12to build from there. The rain we've seen across northern areas will gradually shift its way
01:19eastwards, allowing some brighter conditions to develop later on. The sunshine always more
01:24prolonged throughout Sunday for Wales and areas of England, and in that sunshine it's
01:30going to increasingly turn hot, with temperatures climbing towards the low 30s for many, peaks
01:37around 32 Celsius, that is equivalent to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Even across Northern Ireland
01:43and central Scotland, we'll still see highs in the mid-20s of Celsius. There'll be plenty
01:49of late sunshine as we move into Sunday evening, clear spells then into the night as well,
01:55just a bit more cloud across Scotland where the odd isolated shower is possible. But temperatures
02:01are not going to fall too far as we move overnight. It will be uncomfortable for sleeping for
02:06many with temperatures perhaps not even dropping below 20 degrees in some towns and cities.
02:12If we don't drop below that mark, it would be what we'd call a tropical night. And temperatures
02:17will only climb from there as we then move throughout the day on Monday. There will be
02:22prolonged intervals of sunshine for many. Some higher based clouds may make the sunshine
02:27hazier at times, and it will be quite a dry heat, so not feeling too humid. But as temperatures
02:33climb, it will still feel oppressive for many and we'll see peaks in the high 30s, potentially
02:4039 Celsius in the South East, the high 20s of Celsius also across Northern Ireland and
02:46central Scotland. Another exceptionally warm night will then lead to another hot day on
02:52Tuesday with a chance of reaching 40 degrees Celsius. That's equivalent to 104 degrees
02:58in Fahrenheit. So do make sure to take care over the coming days. Stay hydrated by drinking
03:03plenty of fluids. Stay in the shade where possible and keep curtains closed so that
03:08indoor spaces are also cooler. And look out for those who may be vulnerable in the coming
03:13heat. Please stay tuned to the forecast and we will keep you up to date with everything
03:18as we move over the next few days.
