Wednesday has been noticeable for a number of reasons. From a

meteorological point of view, it was the warmest day of the year for

Wales and Northern Ireland. Nothing like it across the East of Scotland,

where the temperature was locked firmly into the mid-teens thanks to

the presence of the low cloud and fog. It is there again as it has

been, making inroads through the Clyde Valley is, to the Tyne Valley

and areas east of the Pennines. Another very close night, 17, 1 or

19, something of that order. It will take some time on Thursday morning

but we will see some of this low cloud creeping towards the eastern

shores and into the north-east of England. Around the eastern shores

of Scotland and the Northern Isles, it will stick. At the opposite end

of the country, things may come together. Some moisture, breezes

coming together and some heat, it could produce some violent and

thundery showers. The risk of thunderstorms comes as far east as

the Hampshire border. For many of you, look at it, the heat keeps

pouring through. For some, it might be a fraction warmer than Wednesday.

Stand fast, the eastern side of Scotland. As I say, open to the

Northern Isles, it will be closer to the teams. You may start with a

cooling dip, but after that it's pretty warm working Glasgow. The

triathletes take centre stage. Coverage right across the BBC. After

another close night, into Friday. Similar fare, variations on the

theme. Showers again across southern counties. There will be there across

western sides of Scotland as the heat, again, really takes centre

stage. Come the weekend, something slightly different in the menu. We

have this area of low pressure throwing this weather front down

across the British Isles. Then, the efflux around, high pressure from

the north and north-west. -- it flicks around. Another very warm day

and a dry day as well. There is the weather front bringing the rain to

the western and central parts of Scotland. It is tumbling on a

diagonal from the West of Scotland to the south-east of England. A

showery burst, more than anything else. Notice how
