Good evening. I know some of us could do with a drop of rain for the

gardens, and the hot weather doesn't suit us all, but it's within a warm

one today. 20 degrees in many parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland,

the warmest day of the year so far. It's been a hot one further south

too. 30 degrees along the south coast of England. There's plenty

more warmth to come through the rest of this week. A balmy night. Most of

us dry. Low cloud and mist off the North Sea into central and eastern

parts of the UK. The odd shower possible across the west of Northern

Ireland, otherwise dry and humid. Temperatures in the midteens to

start the day. Whoa might see the odd shower across eastern England

early on. Most of us is dry. By the afternoon, we could see an isolated

downpour. Further west, I must stress they will be isolated. Mauve

of us will avoid them entirely. They could be heavy and slow moving as

well. The vast majority will be fine. Every bit as warm as today. Up

into the mid-to high 20s. There will be a refreshing breeze across

southern areas. It should stay dry here as across Scotland. A bit of

mist across the far north-east and into the Northern Isles. We have the

Commonwealth Games starting in the evening. I'm optimist thanking it

will be dry. There's a very small risk of a shower. It should be dry

and warm and temperatures in the low 20s at 8pm in the evening with

fairly light winds. The warmth keeps with us through Thursday as well.

Every bit as warm as it will be on Wednesday. Again mid-to high 20s.

Once more across north-eastern coastal areas, it will be cooler

with low cloud and mist. Weather-wise, the chance of an

isolated shower, particularly across south-western parts of England and

Wales. They will be isolated. Mauve places -- most places will be

completely dry. That's how we end the week. A lot of warmth around,

many places will be dry. There will be a few showers around. Towards the

weekend, well southern areas stay dry and warm. But keep your eye on

this front. That introduces showery rain into the northern areas. As

that heads southwards, into the early part of next week, it looks as

if it will turn cooler with the winds coming down from the north.
