00:00Hello there, a very good evening to you. A lucky handful of us did manage to see some

00:05sunshine poking through today and we do have this area of high pressure, quite close in

00:10the Atlantic, but it's reasonably shy. It's not wanting to get too close to the UK at

00:15the moment and that is allowing for some fronts to push their way towards us. Particularly

00:19this one will be arriving into north-western Scotland as we head into the overnight period

00:24with some longer and potentially heavier pulses of rain into the early hours of Sunday morning.

00:29It's quite breezy as this system pushes in as well. We've seen some heavy scattered showers

00:34across south-eastern England today. Those will be clearing as we head into the evening and

00:38there will be some clear spells around for England and Wales tonight. And so some rural

00:42spots may just drop into single figures, but many of our towns and cities will be holding

00:46comfortably in double digits as we start off Sunday morning. As we move throughout the day,

00:52we will be watching as this rain steadily pushes its way eastwards across Scotland. It will

00:56tend to break up into showers as the day goes on, but even those could be heavy at times,

01:01maybe even thundery as we move across eastern Scotland later on. The other three nations will

01:06still see some showers popping up at times, but there should at least be some drier intervals in

01:12between those to try and make the most of. But with a lot of cloud around tomorrow, temperatures

01:16will be a notch down compared to some of the values we've seen today. 18 to 23 degrees Celsius,

01:22though, is still around average for the time of year. So if you manage to see a touch of brightness,

01:27it will still be relatively pleasant. As we move into the new week on Monday, our area of high

01:32pressure will get a little bit friendlier and push that ever so slightly closer to the UK. And so

01:38generally Monday will be more settled overall and there'll be fewer showers around in general,

01:43still some to watch out for, but there should be more brighter and sunnier spells developing as well.

01:49And so a decent amount of fine dry weather if you are on the summer holidays. And temperatures will

01:55be a notch up thanks to that extra sunshine peaking at around 25 degrees Celsius across parts of

02:00southern England, 19 and 20 in there for Scotland and Northern Ireland as well. Do stay up to date

02:07with the full forecast as we head into the fourth coming week. You can, of course, do that by
