00:00Hello, good morning, welcome to your latest forecast from the Met Office and the fourth
00:05summer heat wave begins as temperatures rise quite widely across England and Wales in particular,
00:11something not quite as hot across parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland. Here are the
00:15peak temperatures for the week ahead. We're looking at the low possibly near the mid-30s
00:20over the next few days, something a little less hot as we get towards the end of the
00:25week but still well above average around 29 or 30 Celsius. The average for this time of year should
00:30be nearer around 20 to 22 Celsius, particularly across southern parts of the UK. High pressure
00:36sat to the southeast, it means we're drawing in hot and humid air over the next few days but low
00:41pressure always near the north and the west, the risk of some rain at times here and then an increasing
00:46risk of some thunderstorms perhaps by Tuesday as low pressure generally becomes a little bit more
00:52dominant but lots to play for for that. It's a bit of a north-south split out there at the moment,
00:57fairly cloudy skies, Northern Ireland, Northern England, parts of Scotland, outbreaks of rain but
01:01the rain as we go through the day should become increasingly confined to the highlands and islands
01:06particularly by the afternoon. England and Wales seeing plenty of dry weather, some hazy spells of
01:11sunshine, best of the blue skies across eastern and southeastern parts of England but we are watching
01:17cloud gather from the southwest, parts of southwest England into Wales, the risk of one or two heavy
01:22showers or thunderstorms developing as we move through the day here. It should be dry elsewhere
01:26but perhaps one or two showers possible across northern England, southern Scotland, Northern Ireland
01:31as we go through the day but most places dry and those temperatures rising in that sunshine. The mid-20s,
01:38locally high 20s towards central and southeastern parts, a peak around 30, 31 Celsius in the London
01:44area, so feeling quite hot out there. If you want some relief from the heat, the coast will be a little cooler
01:49and cooler conditions across the northwest of the UK, generally the low 20s here and high teens across the
01:55northwest of Scotland with outbreaks of rain continuing through the day. Into the evening time, this rain continues
02:01to push further north across northern Scotland, reaching Orkney late evening time and then overnight,
02:07the continued risk of one or two thunderstorms, some showers developing. You might find that you see some lightning,
02:13you hear some thunder without any rain as the cloud is generally quite high levels but most places
02:18will stay dry. The risk of some thunderstorms increases across Northern Ireland and Northern
02:24England, southern Scotland into the early hours as well and we'll see the continued push of hot and
02:31humid air northwards, so temperatures overnight will become increasingly warm, 15, 16 Celsius as minimums in
02:37places, some places maybe a little higher than this, so it does start to become more uncomfortable for sleeping.
02:43So Tuesday is going to be a mixed day, they're at risk of one or two lingering thunderstorms first
02:48thing, they continue to push northwards but they become more isolated as the day goes on. There
02:53should be plenty of hazy sunshine across many parts, early rain across Orkney and Shetland will also clear,
02:59so most places dry but always the risk of one or two thunderstorms, perhaps Northern England
03:04into eastern and southeastern parts of Scotland being at a higher risk but they could pop up almost anywhere,
03:11particularly later on in the day and in that sunshine, that strong sunshine, high UV levels,
03:16temperatures will really rise, we're looking at highs around 33 Celsius across central and central
03:21southern parts of the UK, cooler around the coasts at the mid locally high 20s and across the far northwest
03:28of Scotland, temperatures in the low 20s possible here as well. So into the evening time on Tuesday,
03:35the risk of one or two thunderstorms in places, so it is worth just staying up to date with the forecast,
03:39but lots of places will stay dry and as I mentioned the peak of the heat most likely on Tuesday and
03:46into Wednesday before just starting to ease a little but staying above average. See you again soon.
