a hot and sunny day, particularly across Northern Ireland. A record of

29.5 degrees, the highest since 2006, and just shy of the highest

ever recorded temperature in Northern Ireland. More sunshine and

still high temperatures tomorrow. Today, the temperatures struggled

around parts of the wash where the mist and low cloud was stubborn.

Tonight that will creep inland across the Midlands and in towards

parts of south-east Wales and towards the Bristol Channel.

Underneath the cloud, a slow start tomorrow morning. Some cloud sitting

through Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, but to the south of the band, Bright

from first thing in the morning and temperatures around 15 or 16

degrees. Further south and west, sunshine from the word go. 19

degrees at eight o'clock in the morning for Devon and Cornwall.

Perhaps a bit more cloud for the East of Wales at 8am, but further

west a bright start. Some sunshine for Northern Ireland, maybe cloud

clinging to the north coast, and as we head toward Scotland it will be

the north and west where there are more overcast skies, Apache, light

rain for the Western Isles and for Shetland the wane -- rain looks

heavier. For eastern Scotland, we had the problem of mist and low

cloud, and it could be problematic tomorrow and keep the temperatures

down. A bit more cloud for North West Scotland, but elsewhere the

cloud should thin out, break and lift and clear away come the

afternoon. If it does linger along the east coast it will keep

temperatures down, but where we have that sunshine, quite widely we will

be looking at temperatures in the middle high 20s. On Wednesday, the

pressure remains relatively high. We have got this week cold front to

content with and it is moving its way towards the south. It will

introduce more cloud to northern and eastern areas. A cool and fresher

feel underneath the cloud with temperatures in the high teens. But

where we keep the sunshine further south and west, yet again,

temperatures will climb to around 25 or 26 degrees. Still some warm and

sunny weather to be found, but the summer bit of a change on Wednesday,
