00:00Hello. Very good morning to you. Now, there could be a bit of thunder around for some
00:04of us this morning. That's in association with the same front that brought some heavy
00:09rain across parts of Scotland and north-western England yesterday. It's now lying across central
00:15southern parts of England and into east Midlands and towards Lincolnshire. And with some heavy
00:19bursts this morning, there could be some thunder around. Before that front then pushes its
00:23way eastwards into east Anglia and across parts of Kent. But as it goes, it's really
00:28weakening. So, these eastern areas are likely to just see a bit of rain, nothing particularly
00:33heavy. Behind that front, we do have some sunny spells coming in, lots of sunshine around,
00:37though a bit of cloud coming and going as well. There will also be plenty of showers.
00:41Now, across parts of Wales, western England, a few hit and miss showers, perhaps the odd
00:45heavy one. Across Scotland and Northern Ireland, here the showers are going to be fairly frequent,
00:50especially in western parts. And here, they're also going to be a little bit heavy at times
00:54too. Now, we do have some fresher air across much of the country today compared to what
00:59we've seen recently. Still some warmth across the Far East, particularly ahead of this front
01:04before it pushes through later on this afternoon. And so here, temperatures getting into the
01:08mid-20s, 25, possibly 26 Celsius. But elsewhere, yes, a bit of a fresher feel to things than
01:14it has been of late. Temperatures generally peaking in the high teens to low 20s across
01:19many places. More showers to come as we go through this evening, particularly across
01:23parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland, but some showery outbreaks for western parts
01:26of England and Wales as well overnight too. And then through the night, watch out for
01:31some heavier, more persistent showery rain feeding in across western parts of Scotland.
01:36And there'll be some blustery winds in association with this as well. Towards the south-east
01:39of the UK, something a little bit drier and a bit clearer as well. And with that front
01:44moving through and having brought some fresher air after it, it is going to be a bit more
01:49of a comfortable, less warm, less humid night than we've had of late. Temperatures widely
01:54dropping into low teens, some places in more prone rural spots getting a bit cooler than
01:59this. And so, yeah, a real more comfortable, fresher feel to things as we go through tonight.
02:04Across parts of Scotland then, a wet start to the day tomorrow with that showery rain.
02:08It clears away towards the east as we go through the morning, but behind it, plenty of showers
02:13following in behind. So really, tomorrow is going to be a showery day with a bit of a
02:17cool feel to things because of some breezes coming in from the west-northwest. And so,
02:22a real showery picture and a cool breezy picture as well. A bit more cloud developing as we
02:27go through the day perhaps, but there should be some sunny breaks around. Towards the south-east,
02:32a better chance of staying dry, avoiding those showers. And here, temperatures will be highest,
02:36but not as high as they have been recently. 23, possibly 24. Elsewhere, most places, mid
02:42to high teens, possibly a few places getting into the low 20s. Still, not feeling too bad
02:47if you do catch any bright or sunny spells in between any of those showers. There's more wet
02:53weather to come as we go through later on this week. A series of fronts are likely to push through
02:57in from the west as we go through Thursday into Friday. So most of us will see some rain at times,
03:02but it's going to be heaviest towards the northwest of the UK. And with that, there will
03:07always be a bit of a breeze around and that will add to the relatively cool feel to things
03:12for the fact that it is August and it should really be feeling a bit warmer,
03:15a bit more like summer than it is going to through the end of the week.
03:18There's more information about what we can expect through this week and beyond available in our
03:23Deep Dive video which will be on our YouTube channel later on this afternoon with Alex Deakin.
03:27Otherwise, I'll see you again soon. Bye-bye.
