00:00Good afternoon. Well, it's going to be another hot and sunny day out there.

00:04Yesterday, we got up to 34.7 degrees in England, and Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales today

00:11could see their hottest day of the year so far.

00:15So taking a look at the bigger picture then, we've got this ridge of high pressure extending

00:19across the UK, keeping things fine and settled.

00:22But if you're not a fan of the heat, well, there's some good news on the way.

00:25Low pressure will start arriving Sunday night and into Monday.

00:30So some fresher, cooler conditions on the way, but also bringing some showery outbreaks of rain

00:36and some thunderstorms.

00:38But back to the rest of this afternoon then.

00:41Well, wall-to-wall sunshine for many of us.

00:44Strong summer sunshine as well with high UV levels.

00:48So do take care if you are out and about today.

00:50Low cloud always lingering across the eastern coast.

00:54And here, that's where it's going to be feeling coolest today.

00:58Otherwise, out towards the west, that's where we'll see the highest temperatures.

01:02So we'll see temperatures climbing up to 34 degrees across parts of South Wales and the West Midlands.

01:09Northern Ireland, 28, 29, possibly 30 degrees.

01:13And Scotland in the west, we may see temperatures climbing 30, 31, possibly 32 degrees.

01:19But you can see, cooler across that eastern coast.

01:24There could even be the odd shower just developing across the south of Wales and the west of Northern Ireland.

01:29But otherwise, fine and dry.

01:33So as we go through Saturday evening, then we'll see the return of this low cloud from the North Sea,

01:37just edging further inland as we go through the night.

01:42Clearer skies always out towards the west, so Northern Ireland, Wales, southwest of England.

01:48But it is going to be another warm night out there and uncomfortable for sleeping.

01:54So temperatures not falling below 16, 17, possibly 18 degrees in some places.

02:00So as we start Sunday morning, then a cloudier start out there for some of us.

02:05That cloud will lift and break to reveal sunny or bright spells.

02:10Best of the sunshine tomorrow will be across Northern Ireland and Scotland.

02:14Southern parts of Scotland, though, may see the odd shower bubbling up.

02:18Likewise for northern parts of England and parts of Wales,

02:21with the sunshine turning increasingly hazy later on in the day across the far southwest of England,

02:27where we could see the odd shower.

02:30Otherwise, tomorrow it's still going to be very warm in places high as 29, 30, 31 degrees.

02:37Always cooler along that eastern coast, but just not as hot as what we'll see this afternoon.

02:43So as we go through Sunday evening, then, that's where we start to see our weather changing.

02:49So we'll start to see some showery outbreaks of rain arriving from the west,

02:53with always this low cloud still lingering across eastern coasts.

02:57So like I said, turning more unsettled as we go through Monday and Tuesday.

03:01But for more details on that, make sure to hit subscribe so you don't miss a forecast.

03:05And I'll see you very soon.

03:07Bye bye.
