00:00Through Wednesday, we've seen some warm sunshine as temperatures comfortably rose into the low

00:0720s. We'll see some sunshine through tomorrow, but with an easterly component developing

00:12to the wind, particularly across more southern and central areas,

00:17more clouds through into the early hours of Thursday morning, similar situation on Friday.

00:22High pressure, though, continues to affect us, and that means the weather remains

00:26fairly settled, although come Thursday into Friday, an increasing chance of some showers

00:31across more southern areas, which could turn heavy with the risk of thunder and hail through

00:36Friday and in fact for the weekend. Now, for the time being, Wednesday evening,

00:40it's pleasant outside. Notice this cloud, though, gradually migrating from the North Sea,

00:46extending across the Midlands, eastern counties towards East Wales, central southern England.

00:50At the same time, we'll see some clouds just lapping along the shoreline of eastern Scotland.

00:56Some har and sea fog across the far northwest of Scotland. Elsewhere, under clearer skies,

01:01expect some mist and fog to form as we head into the early hours of Thursday morning,

01:06and rather chilly here under the cloud and a bit of a breeze across England and Wales.

01:10Temperatures holding up mild across East Anglia as well as the southeast central southern England

01:15as we start Thursday morning, and it will be rather cloudy. This cloud will be rather stubborn

01:20through the morning, but notice it will break, allowing for some sunshine to come through.

01:24Any fog patches burning off quite quickly across central Scotland and Northern Ireland,

01:29northwest of England, West Wales. Through the afternoon, again, it's lovely outside.

01:34We'll see some warm sunshine, still a breeze down towards more southern and central areas,

01:40but a lighter wind further north and feeling warm in that sun as temperatures rise very nicely

01:46to around the low 20s across western Scotland, even Northern Ireland seeing a spot or two

01:52around 2021. Similar situation for Wales and 25 across the southeast of England. So,

01:58Thursday is proving to be another fine day. However, changes are afoot into Friday. Yet

02:04again, we'll see that cloud migrate across the country, penetrating further inland across

02:09Scotland as well, and where the cloud is thick enough, particularly across eastern counties,

02:14expect some patchy drizzle, particularly over the higher ground. Temperatures holding up

02:18across England and Wales, a bit cooler where we see those clearer skies further west. And again,

02:22some mist and fog can't be ruled out, but notice some showers lurking across southern counties,

02:27and they'll develop through Friday. They'll be sporadic, but where you catch one, it could be

02:32heavy with the risk of thunder as well as hail. And so, that's really for central and southern

02:37parts of England and Wales. Elsewhere, it's a fine day, a mix of clouds and sunshine,

02:42temperatures yet again rising into the 20s. The risk of some heavy downpours across England and

02:47Wales on Saturday. West will be best in terms of sunshine, eastern counties of Scotland,

02:52North East England, seeing that cloud keeping temperatures around 15 degrees Celsius.

02:56Brighter skies across more western areas on Sunday, but we'll see some heavy downpours

03:01further south. So, expect some warnings to be issued through the next few days.

03:05But temperatures still into the 20s across more southern areas. I'll see you later.
