Good evening. It has been another very hot day across the southern

half of the British Isles. Temperatures peaked at 31 degrees

just outside London. Widespread highs in the Midlands and down to

the south coast. The top temperatures are closest to the

heart of this area of high pressure. It has been a fresher day further

north in Northern Ireland and Scotland. They will beat outbreaks

of rain for the rest of this evening and overnight tonight. Keep

your eye on a spot where you are and the temperatures do not fade

away very quickly. A very warm night to come in many areas. The

sun is up on Tuesday and the temperatures will follow pretty

quickly. Again, there is more cloud across Scotland and Northern

Ireland. In the east of Scotland there may be the odd thunderstorm.

More cloud around for Northern Ireland, but a lot of sunshine to

come again across England and Wales. The cloud in the east is high cloud,

which will make the sunshine hazy. The story for England and Wales on

Tuesday is focusing on the heat. The highest will be in an area

feeding from London up towards Cambridgeshire. Still fresh are

generally for Scotland and Northern Ireland. We may hit 32. The heat is

creeping up into eastern Scotland. Generally for Scotland and Northern

Ireland we are looking at highs of 22 and 23. There is high pollen as

well. High pressure stays with us. Some rain squeezing its way into

the north on Wednesday and Thursday, but nothing to write home about.
