Good evening. Whether you love it or loathe it, the current humid and

hot spell is coming to an end. Temperatures peaked across the

south-east and East Anglia at 30 Celsius, enough to set of

thunderstorms in East but changes are afoot. Behind the rain that

bearing cloud, there are fresher conditions, which will gradually

squeeze await the humid weather in the next 20 or 36 hours. A slow

process, so we have one last Monday night to come. The thunderstorms

across the East are easing but rain will develop in the West. Heaviest

in the south-west where it will be misty and foggy. The temperatures

in the morning will be a sticky start at 13 or 17 degrees in most

areas. Through the day we will gradually see cooler conditions

develop and with it we will see a bit of rain as well. Wetter

conditions along the south coast of England, particularly close to the

coastal zones and inland rain will be lighter and patchier but we

still have a humid area at this stage, with lots of Mr and low

cloud, with fog over the hills leading to a sub -- slovenly start.

Across Wales it will be drizzly with heavier pulses it rains, and

in the southern Scotland and a fairly cloudy start in Northern

Ireland but over Northern Ireland will be dry slots and across the

rest of northern Scotland. The north-east is drier and they could

beat sunshine peeking through the early-morning mist and low cloud.

Across eastern England, despite the misty start, mostly dry with a few

spots of rain that if you see sunshine break through the cloud

the temperatures will shoot up rapidly. Still quite unit at this

stage of the day. It will turn colder that -- still quite humid.

The heaviest rain limited to the south-east corner, and into London

and Essex, with pulses of heavy rain into eastern parts of England

and northern Scotland but southern Scotland, Northern Ireland, the

western fringes of England will brighten up after showers and while

it will feel fresher it will still be warm in the sunshine. At Calder

might take us into Friday. Most of us will have a dry and fine day,

and the August sunshine is strong enough to lift the temperatures to

the low twenties. As we go into the weekend, things will change. The
