00:00Good morning. The heat building this weekend for some parts of the UK. Not everywhere will it be
00:06especially hot. Most of us though will see at least some sunshine. It's a bit of a drab start
00:11to the weekend for Belfast, the central belt of Scotland. This zone of rain just trickling its
00:16way south as though so things are getting a little bit brighter here. Certainly a much brighter drier
00:21day across the highlands compared to yesterday. Still pretty blustery. A gusty wind here which may
00:26throw a few showers across but they should zip through because of the strength of the breeze.
00:31Now one zone that's likely to stay pretty dull, the far north of England, particularly Cumbria,
00:35parts of north Lancashire. Rain and drizzle on and off here especially over the hills but with a bit
00:40of a rain shadow Liverpool, Manchester may well stay dry. Certainly most of England and Wales will
00:47have a dry day and after a bit of a cloudy start many areas also seeing plenty of sunshine this
00:52afternoon. Just the possibility that the coast of Wales and southwest England, some areas here may
00:58stay a little murky, a little overcast. It'll still be warm, it'll still be humid but the top
01:02temperatures are going to be where we see the sunniest skies. So across the Midlands, eastern England
01:0728, 29, maybe 30 degrees in the capital. Not as hot further north. Pretty pleasant in the sunshine
01:14across eastern Scotland. Temperatures here 22, maybe 23 degrees Celsius. Now as we go through the evening
01:20and overnight that zone of thicker clouds still with some drizzly rain persists over parts of
01:25northwest England. Again mostly Cumbria, north Lancashire but some rain and drizzle at times
01:30getting into north Wales. Again especially across Snowdonia. Many other areas staying dry. Quite a
01:36contrast between north and south and the feel of the night however because the warm humid air sticks
01:41here. Temperatures holding up in the high teens in urban areas further north. A good deal more
01:46comfortable as temperatures drop down there to 10 or 11 degrees Celsius. Into Sunday it's a similar
01:52story. Still this central zone with a lot of cloud over parts of northern England. Rain and drizzle at
01:56times in northwest England, maybe southwest Scotland. We'll see a little bit more. I suspect of
02:02thicker cloud and rain and drizzle edging its way across parts of northern Ireland. So a different day
02:07here again for tomorrow compared to today. Clouding over a bit in western Scotland but most of Scotland dry and
02:13bright hazy sunshine and certainly further south we should see some sunnier skies developing after a
02:19bit of a cloudy start and the temperatures lifting once more. More widely up to the mid-20s. Again the
02:25Midlands, eastern England. Again if it stays a bit grey around some coasts in the southwest, temperatures
02:30not as high. It's still quite a warm and a humid feel. And again eastern Scotland 22, 23 degrees in the
02:37sunshine. Now I wouldn't normally show you Monday's chart this time through the weekends but
02:42Monday is likely to see the peak in this current hot spell. Across central and eastern England
02:48temperatures widely over 30 Celsius, 34 perhaps even 35 in one or two locations. And by Monday the hot
02:55air has started to push a little further north so it's warming up across northern Ireland and
03:00Scotland. So yeah plenty to talk about with our weather. You want to be keeping up to date with
03:05the forecast as we go through this weekend. Best way to do that across social media but also
03:10keep up to date on our websites. There's lots of advice on the Met Office website about how
03:15to stay cool during hot weather. And if you haven't done already you want to be subscribing
