00:00Hello there, welcome to a Wednesday morning weather update from the Met Office.
00:04The heat wave continues across the country through today with some strong sunshine.
00:09Let me take you through the bigger picture.
00:11The heat is even more intense across Spain as well as France.
00:15We're inheriting some of that heat as it extends northwards yet again through today.
00:21Chance of some showers, particularly into Thursday, they could become impactful across Scotland but slow moving.
00:27Many areas dry though and yet again some sunshine and off as we head into Friday.
00:33Although there could be a bit more clouds just moving in across more northern and western areas.
00:38Through this morning then you can see where these showers are for Orkney, southern parts of Shetland,
00:42Caithness, Sutherland, the Western Isles and a few just skirting Aberdeenshire down towards borders.
00:48Northern Ireland's having a fine morning with some sunshine but notice this low cloud just lurking across the Irish Sea
00:55affecting West Wales as well as the West Country, central southern parts of England.
00:59This is where we're seeing cloudier skies this morning and this low cloud could migrate towards the shoreline of the northeastern part of Northern Ireland.
01:07But it's fine for the bulk of the country with sunny spells and warm after a fairly uncomfortable night.
01:12It was muggy last night.
01:14So through this morning we watch as this cloud breaks across more southern and western areas.
01:20A little bit of low cloud just skirting the far southwest of Scotland and the northeast of Northern Ireland but a fine day here.
01:27And these showers fairly scattered continue their passage northwards.
01:30So a dry day for most but later a little more cloud and perhaps one or two showers just moving in across central southern England as well as the southeast.
01:38Now here are your temperatures through the afternoon.
01:41The most intense heat has now migrated eastward.
01:45So this is where we're likely to see the highest temperatures across eastern counties.
01:49At the same time places such as East Wales still seeing temperatures nudge into the 30s as well as the Midlands.
01:56For Scotland it's the central belt where you'll see values around 27 degrees Celsius even the west in Shelter.
02:02And for Northern Ireland 24 or 25.
02:05For the bulk of Wales we're looking at values probably the mid-20s.
02:08A similar situation down towards the west country, central southern England 23 to 25 Celsius.
02:14So where we see temperatures above around 25 degrees Celsius over three days for most of the country that's a heat wave.
02:21Obviously that threshold does increase the closer you get to the home counties.
02:25But even so heat wave continues through today and into tomorrow across many areas.
02:30Those showers will skirt the eastern side as we head into the early hours of Thursday morning.
02:36Another cluster will blossom across the central belt of Scotland and move northwards.
02:40And some lurking across Irish seacoast.
02:43So into Thursday yes you could see a bit more cloud here but also the risk of a few scattered showers which could turn heavy across some parts of Scotland.
02:52The distribution is still slightly uncertain but certainly there could be some heavier downpours through Thursday morning.
02:57We hang on to some brighter weather across eastern counties but this cloud is rolling eastwards as it breaks up as that sun really gets to work.
03:05And so most seeing some fine weather, some bright conditions if not some blue sky and sunshine.
03:11And here are your temperatures through Thursday.
03:13Yet again the high 20s for much of England as well as east Wales.
03:18Generally speaking the low to mid-20s further west there.
03:21So very warm and hot towards eastern parts.
03:24So here's your outlook through Friday.
03:27Yet again a chance of one or two showers.
03:30More clouds across more northern and western areas.
03:32But blue sky and sunshine further south and east.
03:34And temperatures yet again creeping into the 30s.
