London weather for a couple of days. Rain for Saturday. Now to John who

will take you through Rain for Saturday. Now to John who

will take you through the national forecast across the UK.

Hello there. You may have to find ways of occupying the children. A

lot of rain for some, not so much for others. That was the way in July

but overall whelmingly warm. Not as warm as last year but it continues

the run of months with higher than average temperatures. The eighth now

in a row. On to August, a few showers around. That is across the

north and the west. Lots of dry weather between. A mild night at

dawn, the temperatures about the mid-teens. You may wake up to

sunshine but the general trend through the day is for things to

deteriorate across the northern and western parts of England and Wales

where the showers will begin to merge into longer spells of rain.

Brightness on either side, some places avoiding the showers but a

fair few across Scotland and Northern Ireland. Some sunshine

between. Then we run into the zone of damp weather across parts of the

north of England, to Wales and to the south-west. Some persistent

rain. To the south and the east, warm. Up to the mid-20s.

The odd sharp shower. In the west, once the rain is going it will feel

cool at 16 or 17 Celsius. The rain expands through tomorrow night into

Saturday. Moving up across the north and the west into Wales and southern

Scotland. Up to eastern England. The Scotland. Up to eastern England The

other question mark is how far west the rain extends to Northern

Ireland. One to watch. But it will push up to Scotland. So turning cool

and wet here. Warm in the south if the sun comes out. But the low

pressure response will park itself across Scotland on Saturday and

Sunday. A bleak old day. Persistent rain that could cause issues.

Add to witch a blustery wind. Across the north. In the south it

will dry up and brighten up. The winds warming up to the low to

mid-20s. A contrast with the chillier and the wetter weather

across Scotland. So a lot going on. Heavy rain to the north.

Followed by warm sunshine. Gusty winds over northern areas

during the course of Sunday.
