London weather: Second heatwave only days away after brief pause to sweltering summer

Transcript

00:00Some patchy rain for a time over South Wales, South West England, but much of the South will be dry as it brightens up later.

00:07East Wales, the Midlands, East Anglia, perhaps South East England, feeling really quite warm and humid.

00:11If we get a bit of sunshine, those temperatures jumping up into the mid-20s, 25, 26, 27, just about possible in a few places.

00:19But that does need the sun to come out to lift those temperatures further.

00:22Where it stays cloudy, feeling quite humid in the zone over Northern England and North Wales.

00:27It's quite breezy again in places as well.

00:30Fresher feel come the afternoon for Scotland and Northern Ireland, with those showers keeping going in the north-west.

00:35This zone of cloudier weather, with some outbreaks of rain, will trickle a little further south through this evening.

00:41So we may see a bit of rain turning up over the Midlands, spreading back into parts of South Wales through the nights.

00:46But again, much of the south will stay dry and further north turning a bit drier as well.

00:51Well, fresher air in here, so temperatures dipping down to 12, 13, maybe a little lower in some rural spots.

00:58Whereas for a good part of England and Wales, the temperature is holding up at 15 or 16 Celsius.

01:02So quite a warm and humid feel again here on Wednesday.

01:06Tomorrow could be quite damp over parts of southwest Wales.

01:09Rain drizzle on and off, nothing too heavy.

01:12The odd shower getting into western Scotland again.

01:15But for many places, tomorrow looks dry.

01:17Again, we should see some sunshine lifting the temperatures across East Anglia and the southeast.

01:23And it should be a much drier day for northern England as well.

01:26Some brightness coming in here, lifting the temperatures into the low 20s.

01:30But we could see higher temperatures across the southeast and East Anglia.

01:34Humidity building here.

01:35And just look at this, some threatening showers down to the southwest.

01:38They could move north or we could see some coming up from France later on tomorrow.

01:43So that's an area we need to watch as the heat builds again across the southeastern corner.

01:48A plume of warmer, more humid air pushes in.

01:50That could spark some thunderstorms later tomorrow and into the first part of Thursday across parts of southeast England.

01:57Aidan has more on that and more details going further ahead into the weekend in our week ahead forecast.
