:00:00. > :00:08.around at times. Let's get the national forecast now.
:00:09. > :00:12.Good evening. Beautiful day today as promised, lots of sunshine. The next
:00:13. > :00:18.two or three days will be different. The humidity will rise and we are in
:00:19. > :00:22.for thunder as this warm humid air drifts in from the south, pent-up
:00:23. > :00:25.energy in the atmosphere. The satellite picture from today, you
:00:26. > :00:29.can see clear skies, watch the south, see that in a minute, the
:00:30. > :00:32.clouds increasing here across France, and then clouds ahead of it,
:00:33. > :00:36.that's the volatile atmosphere heading our way. Tonight the
:00:37. > :00:41.humidity and the clouds continue to increase across southern areas, a
:00:42. > :00:45.little bit of rain also in the far north across Orkney. In the south
:00:46. > :00:50.some rain to the southern Counties by Thursday morning. Don't think
:00:51. > :00:56.there will be thunder at this stage and the vast majority of the country
:00:57. > :00:59.has a dry start to the day. Some spots of rain tomorrow morning
:01:00. > :01:03.around we are thinking, probably no real downpours at this stage yet. If
:01:04. > :01:07.you catch one, you will be unlucky. To the north of that it's sunny,
:01:08. > :01:11.sunny. Beautiful clear blue skies again. A nice start to the day.
:01:12. > :01:16.Pleasant, fresh, temperatures around eight, nine. That humidity will be
:01:17. > :01:20.building through the day and moving northwards. Overall, through the
:01:21. > :01:25.afternoon it's going to turn hazy across many areas. To the north of
:01:26. > :01:30.that lots of sunshine and then thunder storms popping off during
:01:31. > :01:34.the course of the afternoon. Like popcorn on a pan or something. It
:01:35. > :01:39.won't be as hot as that. Temperatures up to around 20 or 21
:01:40. > :01:44.in the sunshine. That sort of risk of thunder with showers continues
:01:45. > :01:49.into Thursday evening. Friday, basically this south-westerly flow
:01:50. > :01:52.of air is pushing the cloud and the moisture and potential for storms to
:01:53. > :01:56.develop. Friday is going to be tricky to forecast exactly where the
:01:57. > :01:59.storms will be. It could be here, could be there, could be further
:02:00. > :02:03.north, virtually impossible to predict exactly. But let's say
:02:04. > :02:07.across parts of England and Wales that risk will continue. Sunshine
:02:08. > :02:11.and showers through the course of Friday. Then into Saturday, perhaps
:02:12. > :02:16.the risk of storms moving across northern parts of the UK, some cloud
:02:17. > :02:19.and rain across Scotland. Then we are watching this weather front, a
:02:20. > :02:23.cool front, with fresher air to sweep through. By the time we get to
:02:24. > :02:26.Sunday the humidity won't be as high. Temperatures will be more or
:02:27. > :02:28.less the same but
