00:00Good morning. Yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far. It's going to feel a lot

00:05fresher out there, especially in the west, although we are still holding on to the legacy

00:09of that hot weather across the extreme east of the country. Further to the west, thanks

00:14to this frontal system, we have a fair amount of cloud and rain pushing in, and that band

00:19of cloud and rain will move steadily eastwards across parts of Northern Ireland and into

00:24parts of the south and west during the course of this morning. Ahead of this band, a good

00:30deal of bright and strong summer sunshine, so a fairly decent afternoon to come across

00:35parts of London and the south east. And that strong sunshine will really get to work on

00:39those temperatures. Again, temperatures rising across parts of the south and east up into

00:44the high 20s, so feeling quite oppressive, especially with a little bit more humidity

00:48in the atmosphere. Further to the west, thanks to all this cloud, temperatures generally

00:53where they should be for the time of year. But across parts of Northern Ireland and eventually

00:59across parts of the northwest, it's a fairly bright end to the afternoon and evening. And

01:04as this band moves eastwards, skies will gradually clear from the west, though that band will

01:10be fairly sluggish to actually push into the south and east overnight. Overnight temperatures

01:17generally down on recent values, so feeling a little bit more comfortable for people to

01:22actually get a good night's sleep. But one or two rural spots may see temperatures just

01:27as low enough, just low enough to actually dip into high single figures. But it's a bit

01:32of a grey and damp start, especially across the south and east on Wednesday morning as

01:37this band slowly edges eastwards. But conditions are gradually improving from the west, particularly

01:44across parts of Wales, the southwest and northern England, with a fair number of sunny spells

01:51in the mix. And despite the sunshine, temperatures generally around where they should be for

01:56the time of year, with highs of 23 or 24. And that changeable theme continues for the

02:03remainder of the week, although there may be a spell of heavy rain moving in from the

02:08north and west later. Thanks for watching and please stay tuned for the latest updates.

02:15Have a good day.
