Heavy rain drenches London ahead of third summer heatwave

Transcript

00:00Hello there, a very good morning to you. Many of us can look forward to a fine and settled

00:05week to come, and even as we kick off this Monday morning, it is quite bright for many

00:10areas of Scotland. A little cool in places with a brisk northwesterly wind, but away

00:14from the cloud around coastal districts there is some sunshine breaking through as well

00:17for Northern Ireland. Do watch out for a few showers around North Wales, parts of North

00:22West England, and there is just some heavy rain lingering around Kent and Sussex first

00:26thing this morning, but that will eventually be clearing its way off. We could see a few

00:30showers just skirting eastern coasts of England, and maybe a few just bubbling up inland as

00:35well, but for many areas it will manage to stay dry, and the sunshine should break through

00:39fairly readily, particularly across the north and the west. In that sunshine it will feel

00:45fairly pleasant, temperatures around average for this time of year, generally 18 to 23 degrees

00:50Celsius, but with that brisk northwesterly wind still in play for some others it could just

00:55feel a touch cooler when you do eventually step outside. Generally though it will be

00:59fine and dry as we head into the evening periods, though the odd sharp shower looking like it

01:05might develop across parts of North East England, again just skirting their way down a little

01:10closer to East Anglia throughout the night. Clear spells though remaining for the vast majority,

01:15and underneath those clear skies again it will turn quite chilly in locations, particularly

01:20for the time of year. Rural parts of Scotland could see as low as low single figures,

01:25in places, a touch of grass frost even, but generally towns and cities will hold up

01:29just in double digits. It does though mean, despite the chilly start, that there will be

01:35plentiful amounts of sunshine to kick off on Tuesday morning. Cloud tending to build a touch

01:40more for Northern Ireland tomorrow and Western Scotland, with some outbreaks of rain arriving

01:43here later in the day, and again there is always the chance that we see a few showers

01:47skirting eastern coast of England where the cloud may plague us a little bit more as well.

01:52But inland it will be another fine day, and actually with lighter winds in general that

01:57will help make it feel a touch warmer. As well temperatures will be climbing up a little bit more,

02:03quite widely 20-22 degrees Celsius, likely seeing highs of 24 or 25 across areas of Southern England.

02:10Those temperatures though are very likely to be climbing even further as we head throughout the rest of

02:15this week. Plentiful amounts of sunshine and day-on-day heating could see us

02:19reach close to 30 degrees Celsius in places. We'll have more updates on that in our full week ahead

02:25video that will be uploaded to YouTube later on today, so do subscribe and hit the notification

02:30bell so you know when that is out. Otherwise, enjoy your day! Bye bye!
