A taste of summer to come over the next couple of days, with pressure

rising so it doesn't mean we will see a good deal of sunshine across

the country. Most places are going to be dry and fine. It is going to

be feeling warmer. We felt that today as temperatures were on the

rise. Clear skies through the night to night allowing some patchy mist

and fog to form around the coasts. The temperatures here dropping to

around 15 or 16 degrees, but it will be cooler further north. For

many of us first a Morningstar stride, fine with that sunshine.

Any mist and fog in land should lift and clear but there is always

the risk of some laughing on to the shores of south-western areas. That

might not be too far away from rain at some times, but it's a very

small risk. If you are heading to any of the Olympic events on

Thursday, warm sunshine, high UV levels and high pollen levels.

There will be some sea breezes developing around the coast.

Temperatures fall in land Wales reaching the mid-twenties. Northern

Ireland might see more cloud developing through the afternoon,

so the small chance of a light shower, but most places should be

dry. There's a small risk of a shower across the Shetland. In

mainland Scotland we have more cloud to Aberdeen Show, but across

the Central lowlands we are looking at highs of 20. A lot of fine, dry

weather with the sunshine across England and Wales. With the highest

of the temperatures across inland areas. We may get as high as 27

throughout the afternoon. A similar story for Friday. Any early miss

Dan Fogg should lift and clear to give a fine day with plenty of

sunshine. A bit more cloud out towards the north-east, generally

like winds with afternoon sea breezes. It will feel cooler out

towards the coast and in the north- east with more cloud, but further

south we are looking at highs of 26 or 27. It is all due to this

weather over the next few days. A high pressure will drift towards

Scandinavia and some weather fronts move into the south-west. That

increases the risk of showers developing throughout the weekend.
