couple of days. You may have just heard the mention of the risk of

storms at the weekend in regional forecasts. That depends on how this

cloud in the Atlantic interacts with humid air developing over the rest

of Europe. Today has been a pretty wet Wednesday across many areas We

have an area of rain pushing briefly across southern counties of England.

In between there is occasional rain and drizzle. The driest weather will

reach Northern Ireland and Wales later. We start tomorrow with dry

and bright conditions. It will be a cloudy and damp start by some and it

may struggle to completely brighten up in northern England. Cloudy in

the north of Northern Ireland as well. But in Scotland cloudy

outbreaks of rain are coming and going and it is very misty with hill

fog. Elsewhere, one or two showers. Thursday night and into Friday we

stick with cloud and outbreaks of rain in the North of Scotland. Maybe

the odd rumble of thunder in the far south-west. Friday is a dry day with

long spells of hazy sunshine. But later it could get quite humid

across the South and that sets the scene for an interesting but tricky

forecast for the weekend. All the ingredients are there for a thundery

recipe. The dividing line between this is where we see the weather

friend and the potential for some severe thunderstorms. We are a

little less confident about how quickly the thunderstorms push

across the country and to get the wettest weather. At the moment it

looks like this. It pushes its way northwards and eastwards. It depends

how quickly that pushes through but we could see temperatures into the

mid-20s before it turns a bit fresher. It will still be very

pleasant on Sunday. A bit wet in the far north of Scotland, but a lot of

dry weather around and
