00:00You may have heard talk of some high temperatures again next week, and yes, it does look like we are
00:05going to see a bit more heat, but for the time being, well, it's markedly fresher than it was last
00:10week when we had those record-breaking high temperatures, and there is some rain around, particularly towards the northwest.
00:16That's actually what we take into Tuesday. There's a front coming in from the west, and so that's going to
00:21bring some fairly frequent rain across much of Scotland, Northern Ireland, western parts of England and Wales. Some thunders likely
00:28with this as well, some torrential downpours, large hail, some gusty winds as well, along with the frequent lightning. Meanwhile,
00:35towards the southeast, a bit of rain is possible during the morning, but otherwise, it's actually looking largely dry across
00:40much of eastern, southeastern England, with a decent chance of seeing some sunshine as well.
00:44There will be some sunny breaks elsewhere, but the best of the sunshine across parts of eastern, southeastern England. Now,
00:50temperatures, yes, they are down compared to what we had last week, but if you get any sunshine, it is
00:55going to feel very warm indeed.
00:56Mid-20s towards the east, southeast, a fair few degrees fresher than this towards the north and west. Most of
01:03the showers will clear away towards the east through Tuesday night and into Wednesday, and then it turns drier for
01:08a time.
01:09The drier weather may not last particularly long. There's another weather system waiting to come in from the west.
01:14But yes, we start Wednesday on a largely dry note, a few spots of rain, perhaps where the clouds thicken
01:19up across some western parts, but generally dry.
01:22Before then, that system I just highlighted spreads its way in initially across northern Ireland, so bringing some heavy, persistent
01:27rain here, and then that feeds into much of Scotland and also some parts of northern, northwestern England.
01:32A little bit of cloud, bringing some rain to other western parts as well. Meanwhile, towards the east and southeast,
01:38again, largely dry here.
01:40Some sunshine, particularly towards some southern, southwestern areas across the East Anglia, the southeast Kent here.
01:47It's looking like it is going to turn cloudier through the afternoon.
01:50Temperatures similar to Tuesday, so mid-20s towards the southeast, a few degrees fresher than this towards the northwest.
01:56Obviously, with the rain coming in, it's going to feel less warm than across southern areas, and worth bearing in
02:02mind, the winds will be strengthening as well.
02:04Some strong gusty winds, especially around those northwestern coastal parts, so that's something that will also add to the fresher
02:10feel here.
02:11That weather system pushes through over Wednesday night into Thursday.
02:15Perhaps the heaviest, most persistent rain will be through Wednesday night.
02:18And then it does make its way across parts of the southeast, but it's breaking up as it goes.
02:22And so, yes, there will be a bit of rain around here and there, first thing on Thursday morning, but
02:28not a huge amount by that point.
02:30And it should clear through, so things turning drier as we go through Thursday itself.
02:35Lots of sunshine across central southern parts, holding on to a bit more cloud across northern areas.
02:39But even here, yes, it is going to be mostly dry.
02:42Temperatures again, mid-20s, possibly getting close to high 20s across some southern areas.
02:47And again, high teens, low 20s across the north.
02:51Now, the strong gusty winds will have overnight because of that weather system.
02:54They'll gradually be easing through Thursday, but it is still going to be a bit blustery across some northern parts.
02:59Lighter winds again towards the south.
03:02Into Friday, and we're sticking with the quieter theme.
03:05There's this area of high pressure that's building from the southwest, and that's going to become more dominant through into
03:11this weekend.
03:12So that's going to help settle our weather down.
03:14So Friday's looking like a relatively quiet day, perhaps turning cloudier across some northern parts.
03:18We're further away from that high pressure here.
03:20It's always a greater chance of seeing some outbreaks of rain, particularly western parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
03:25Here it could be a little bit damp at times, that rain doesn't look especially heavy.
03:29It could be a bit blustery as well because we're further away from that high.
03:32But further south across the bulk of England and Wales, a largely fine day.
03:36Lots of sunshine.
03:36Temperatures again peaking around 26, maybe 27 Celsius, and mostly light winds as well.
03:42Now, that high pressure is going to build from the south as we head into the weekend.
03:46So that's going to bring a lot more fine weather to areas across much of the country.
03:51It's just the further away from that high pressure you are, the greater chance you have of some fronts pushing
03:56their way in through Saturday, Sunday.
03:58We could see some rain mainly towards the north.
04:00Still a bit blustery at times, but most parts under the influence of that high and seeing some fine weather.
04:06Now, a big talking point is the temperatures and how high they're going to get.
04:09I think it is going to turn a bit warmer as we go through the weekend, even hotter for some
04:14of us.
04:14High 20s, quite likely, I suppose.
04:16Into next week, yes, there are signs of something a little bit hotter by then.
04:21But it's a wee way off at the moment.
04:24This weekend then, yeah, mostly dry for many as that high pressure becomes more dominant, cooler and a bit wetter
04:30towards those northern parts, the further away from the high pressure that you are.
04:33And yes, there is a high chance that we're going to see a heat wave again in time for next
04:39week.
04:39Exactly how hot it gets, well, that's a bit uncertain.
04:41But at this stage, it doesn't look like it will be as exceptionally hot or as humid as it was
04:47for many of us last week.
04:49Partly because we don't have that exceptional heat, that historic heat across the near continent at the moment to help
04:54feed in across the UK as well.
04:57It's also worth bearing in mind that it's probably not going to be heat wave conditions everywhere.
05:02I think towards the south, you have a greater chance of seeing that hot air coming in.
05:06And so a greater chance of us seeing those heat wave conditions, perhaps.
05:09Now, of course, we will be keeping you up to date with all developments about how hot it's going to
05:14get, how long any heat wave will last.
05:16We'll be taking a closer look at it and also what happened last week in this week's deep dive.
05:22So do catch that on our YouTube channel.
05:23That'll go out on Tuesday.
05:25Bye bye.
