00:00Good morning. Plenty of showers around today and some of them will be heavy,
00:04some of them will be thundery and there will be some hail mixed in with them as
00:08well. The system that brought yesterday's heavy persistent rain is now clearing
00:13away towards the east but we're still well and truly under the influence of it
00:16and it's this that's bringing a showery regime across the bulk of the country. So
00:21yes, some bright or sunny spells but also plenty of showers and pretty much
00:25anywhere you could catch a shower and they could be heavy, possibly even
00:29thundery but across central eastern Scotland here we have the greatest
00:33chance of some torrential downpours which is why we do have a warning out as
00:37there could be some disruption. Not only due to the rain which could be pretty
00:41heavy but also because of the hail, the frequent lightning and some gusty winds.
00:45Also some hefty downpours quite likely across parts of northeast England and
00:49like I said anywhere could see some torrential downpours but I think towards
00:53the south-southwest you have a greater chance of staying largely dry. And there
00:57will be some sunny spells mixed in in between those showers in which it's
01:01going to feel pleasantly warm enough. Temperatures generally peaking in the
01:04mid to high teens just about scraping into the low 20s 2021 Celsius perhaps
01:08towards the southeast. Some of the showers are going to continue as we go
01:13through this evening. Many will actually ease overnight but there is likely to be
01:18a swathe of showery rain pushing its way southwards through the early hours of
01:21tomorrow across parts of Northern Ireland, southern Scotland and then later
01:24into parts of northern England as we head towards dawn. Also a few showery
01:29outbreaks elsewhere but also some clear skies perhaps a bit more clear skies
01:33around tonight than there was last night especially across southern areas. So a
01:37greater chance of a little bit of mist and fog perhaps first thing tomorrow
01:41morning but for most temperatures again not dropping a huge amount generally
01:45staying in double figures. So a fairly mild start to the day tomorrow. So the
01:50area of showery rain that looks pretty intense across northern England is going
01:54to push its way southwards as we go through tomorrow could cause some
01:57impacts and then even elsewhere plenty of showers developing yet again. The
02:01focus for the showers will change slightly compared to today. So across
02:05central eastern Scotland not as many showers as today. They're not looking as
02:10frequent as intense as they are looking today and further west perhaps a greater
02:15chance of seeing some showers and even elsewhere across other parts of England
02:18Wales and possibly Northern Ireland perhaps a greater chance of seeing some
02:22heavy thundery downpours and again these could cause some disruptions. So do
02:26take care of whatever your plans are. Temperatures look like they'll be down a
02:29degree or so compared to today because we have a bit more of a northerly wind.
02:34So I think whilst most places will be mid to high 18 Celsius 20 Celsius is
02:39looking fairly unlikely. So not quite as warm in any bright or sunny spells in
02:43between those showers. As we head towards the end of the week and the weekend we
02:47are going to see high pressure building from the west and that's going to turn
02:50our weather a bit drier a bit more settled. Not completely dry one or two
02:54showers are still possible but it is going to be drier than through much of
02:58this week. With that as well there should be a decent amount of sunshine and so
03:01it's likely to feel quite a bit warmer as well. If you have an interest in what's
03:05going to happen looking even further ahead then I will be back with our 10 day
03:09trend which will be available on our YouTube channel later on. Bye bye.
