00:00Hello there, another warm and muggy day on Thursday with plenty of sunshine breaking
00:05through during the afternoon. There is a yellow weather warning though for thunderstorms across
00:10a large part of England and Wales and some of these may bring some torrential downpours.
00:16Another warm and muggy night to come then with showers gradually clearing eastwards and it should
00:21be mostly dry with clear intervals towards dawn. Our weather then starts to change a little bit as
00:26we move into Friday so a cold front will bring strengthening winds and outbreaks of rain to
00:31Scotland and Northern Ireland and this will gradually push southwards and eastwards. Elsewhere
00:37they should stay largely dry with plenty of sunshine and it'll be another warm day. That
00:43band of rain will slowly push southwards and eastwards as we move into Friday night and this
00:47will bring a fresher feel to the day on Saturday. There will be some lingering outbreaks of rain
00:52across southern and eastern England as well as a scattering of showers for Scotland and Northern
00:57Ireland but for that middle sliver of the UK it should be mainly dry and sunny.
