:22:06. > :22:07.we see Labour being challenged for second by the Conservatives

:27:02. > :27:06.days. Even across England and Wales we saw 18 degrees. This will
:27:07. > :27:11.threaten some rain this evening and into the night. Pushing toward the

:27:17. > :27:28.Not as chilly as last night. Could still drop. Lots of sunshine in

:27:40. > :27:43.Scotland. Temperatures in double figures and to the South East we
:27:44. > :27:49.could get above 20 degrees. Warmer still on Friday, the sunshine will
:27:50. > :28:01.be easier in England and Wales, temperature contrast, 10 degrees in
:28:02. > :28:07.Aberdeen, up to 22 in London. Friday will see thunderstorms across
:28:08. > :28:12.England and Wales. The rain will push out of the way for Sunday, just
:28:13. > :28:21.about all of us will be dry. Temperatures will be shooting up.
:28:22. > :28:25.Maintaining a cool breeze across the coast of England. Across western
:28:26. > :28:34.Scotland we could hit 20 degrees as well. The warmth is coming. A
