00:00Hello there, I'm Greg Jewhurst and welcome to your latest broadcast from the Met Office.
00:05Well, it's another day of sunshine and showers across the whole of the UK. The reason for
00:10this is, well, this area of low pressure, which has been with us all week and continues
00:15to hold on to our weather over the next few days, only slowly pushing its way eastward,
00:21so further sunshine and showers to come.
00:24So looking at the details for the rest of Wednesday, we will see a mixture of sunny
00:28spells scattered showers across many parts of the UK. The showers once again could be
00:32heavy at times, the risk of some hail, some thunder, perhaps a localised flooding, surface
00:37spray on the roads could lead to some disruption where those showers turn heavy.
00:41But in between, we will see some sunny spells across the UK and this will lift temperatures
00:46generally into the low 20s, still perhaps 23 or 24 across east and south-east England,
00:52so feeling still quite humid here. Gusty winds though across the west and the south-west
00:56just making it feel a little bit fresher.
00:59As we move through Wednesday evening, further showers across the whole of the UK, some rumbles
01:03of thunder continuing. However, we could see some drier slots developing across the Midlands
01:07into northern England, perhaps later on into Northern Ireland too. But for many, showers
01:12will continue overnight. The odd rumble of thunder is possible still, so don't be surprised
01:17to be woken up in the middle of the night.
01:19But once again, another warm and humid night for the time of year across the whole of the
01:23UK, 14, 15, 16 Celsius in the towns and cities, a little bit lower than this in the countryside.
01:31Showers from the word go across parts of Wales, central, southern England. Also, Scotland
01:34seeing some very heavy showers to start Thursday morning. But in between, there will be some
01:38sunny spells, but into the afternoon, showers will bubble up here too. And just like the
01:43last few days, these showers could be heavy at times, some rumbles of thunder, hail, gusty
01:47winds as well, leading to some disruption. Perhaps later on in the afternoon, thicker
01:51cloud outbreaks of rain starting to move in off the North Sea across north-east England.
01:56Temperatures generally getting into the low 20s, 22 to 24 still in the best of the sunshine.
02:01So not too bad for early September.
02:04Through Thursday evening, we're just watching an area of rain which could come in off the
02:08North Sea into northern England, southern parts of Scotland. This could be heavy at
02:12times, some gusty winds associated with this too. Elsewhere, we'll generally see showers,
02:17but perhaps Northern Ireland across in two parts of northern Wales, the Midlands seeing
02:21a drier interlude to end the day. Looking forward, well more sunshine and showers the
02:26next few days, perhaps easing as we head into the weekend for a time before more rain moves
02:30in later. If you'd like more information on the weather where you are, you can follow
02:35us on our social media channels. I'll see you again soon.
