00:00Hello, very good day to you. Now it's going to be a fine afternoon for many of us.
00:05There'll be some warm sunshine around, but not everywhere will have the warmth.
00:09Currently, yes, there is a front lingering across parts of the south-southwest,
00:13but it's quite a weak feature, so whilst it's bringing a bit of cloud
00:17as we go through the end of the morning into the afternoon,
00:20it's not bringing much, if any, rain, just a few drizzly spots.
00:23And actually, as the front clears away and the sun burns some of that cloud away,
00:27things are going to turn a bit brighter across parts of the south-west as well.
00:31Elsewhere as well, lots of fine sunny weather on offer, not totally wall-to-wall blue skies.
00:36No, there will be some cloud around, but most of us will see some decent sunshine breaking through.
00:41And in that sunshine, well, it's going to feel relatively warm.
00:44Temperatures peaking generally in the high teens or although possibly mid-20s, 23, 24,
00:49perhaps somewhere towards the south.
00:51Worth bearing in mind, though, there is a bit more of a breeze towards the east
00:54and around these North Sea coastal parts, it's going to feel a fair bit fresher.
00:59So mid-teens, perhaps, for some places, and that breeze will add to the fresher feel as well.
01:04Then as we go through into this evening, most places stay fine, but not everywhere.
01:08There will be a few showery bursts across parts of Orkney and Shetland in particular,
01:11and a few of those showers could just about push into parts of mainland Scotland,
01:15the tip of Aberdeenshire, for example,
01:17and perhaps around the far south-east of England as well,
01:20the tip of Kent and maybe, oh, sorry, the tip of Kent's there,
01:23and also the tip of East Anglia could see a few showers, perhaps.
01:26But most places will have a dry night.
01:28There will be some clear skies, especially away from the east,
01:31and whilst most towns and cities are going to hold up in double figures,
01:35some rural spots could be a fair few degrees colder than this,
01:38and we're looking at some places dropping to low single figures.
01:41So a chilly, fresh start for some of us first thing on Thursday morning.
01:46But then it's going to be another fine day for most of us.
01:49Yes, again, there will be some cloud around,
01:50a swathe of cloud across some parts of central southern Scotland
01:53into northern England, and that could be thick enough for a few spots of rain,
01:57maybe one or two spots over northern Ireland as well,
02:00and a few bits of cloud here and there,
02:02particularly towards some central eastern parts of England.
02:05But, like I say, generally a fine picture,
02:07a fair bit of sunshine on offer, in fact, across parts of the south-west,
02:11a much sunnier day tomorrow compared to today,
02:14and it is going to be pretty dry.
02:16Now, once more, a bit of a west-y split with the temperatures,
02:19so towards the west-southwest, especially in the sunshine,
02:22it's going to feel pretty warm.
02:23Temperatures similar to today, but still that brisk breeze
02:27and also that fresher, perhaps even chillier feel to things
02:31across some north-sea coastal parts,
02:33even some eastern parts of Scotland could be a bit fresh at times as well.
02:37As we go through towards the long bank holiday weekend,
02:40there's more fine weather to come.
02:42High pressure is going to stay firmly in control,
02:45so things are going to stay generally dry.
02:47And with that, we're going to see our temperatures rising a little bit,
02:49not as high as they have been earlier on in the summer,
02:52but nonetheless it is likely to be a bit warmer
02:54as we go through this weekend.
02:55Now, there's been a lot of talk about what's going to happen
02:58with Hurricane Erin and exactly how that's going to affect
03:00bank holiday Monday.
03:02At the moment, it now looks like the fine weather
03:05is going to linger through,
03:07and for what is, for much of the country, a bank holiday,
03:10it now does look set to be generally dry,
03:12but there could be some rain pushing through.
03:15And what happens later on next week as a result of Erin,
03:18well, that's still all to play for.
03:20But to find out more about what is likely to happen,
03:22well, make sure you check out the 10-day trend,
03:24which Alex Deacon will be bringing to you later on.
03:27Bye-bye.
