04/08/2011 BBC Weather

Good evening. The heat was swept away by the rain. However, things

are on the change again. I am optimistic that tomorrow will be a

nice day come up with plenty of sunshine, and many of us will stay

dry. This is the band of cloud which brought the rain. Out to the

West, plenty of clear sky. Hence my optimism. Further out to the West,

more cloud. That will complicate matters through the weekend.

Tonight, it will turn wet across the Orkneys, but elsewhere, it will

be dry. Not as humid as it has been, but still a bit muddy. Mistiness

and low cloud towards dawn. That should lift, and things look bright

and dry for most of us. Much of the UK will stay dry through the day.

There will be a few showers breaking out. For the heart of

England, we are set fair, a benign day. Patchy cloud, some sunshine.

Not as desperately hot as it has been. Pleasantly warm. Not that the

humanity we have had. Some of the best of the sunshine around the

coastal fringe, good news for holidaymakers. It will stage right

across the south-west of England and Wales. Any showers will be

isolated. The odd shower across Northern Ireland and Scotland. They

will be pretty isolated, most of us will stay dry. They find end to the

week. The weekend is rather more complicated. Saturday, scenes of

fairly heavy showers, particularly later on across northern England,

southern Scotland, Northern Ireland. Some brightness on either side. On

Sunday, low pressure across the south-west, which will bring some

weather fronts. Some fairly dusty wind. Things are going downhill.
