Hello. Some of us had a preview of summer today. I know there's been

somedaytime warmth in recent weeks in the sun, but today's warmth had

the humidity we're used to in summer. This is a weather watcher

view. Both of these locations significant today for warmth and

temperatures. Lossiemouth 22. 4 Celsius, that was Scotland's highest

temperature of the year so far. 2 # at Gravesend in Kent. That -- 22 at

Gravesend in Kent. Rain in the south-west though, Cardiff into the

Midlands. That's now into south-east England. It expands its coverage

elsewhere across England and Wales as the night goes on. Mild, muggy

with the cloud. But it's already cooler and fresher in Scotland and

Northern Ireland under clear skies. In Scotland, look out for the

Northern Lights. They may be visible as the night goes on. Tomorrow, in

Scotland and Northern Ireland, plenty of sunshine to begin with.

Some showers will get going. Look at this rain, around for some parts of

England and Wales all day long. Let's look at things at 4pm in the

afternoon. We start in Scotland. The showers mostly in the north-west.

Southern and Eastern parts mainly dry in. Northern Ireland, morning

sunshine and then scattered afternoon showers. It is cooler and

fresher. Still pleasant when the sun's out. But it is decidedly cool

under the cloud and rain for much of the day for Yorkshire, the Midlands,

into Eastern Wales and south-west England. 10 or 11 degrees. Rain may

never get into Pembrokeshire and western fringes of England and Wales

may brighten up later. It's late in the day before the rain reaches the

south-east of England. Until then very warm and humid again. Once the

rain gets in, it could be very heavy and thundery. As that gradually pull

as way, as we go through Wednesday night, we're left across southern,

central and Eastern parts of England with around 20 to 40 millimetres of

rain, the first proper soaking for the garden for quite some time. Of

course, difficult for travelling through. That has gone by Thursday,

a day that starts with plenty of sunshine, some showers get going,

though Eastern England looks mainly dry and it is cooler and fresher

across the board by then. It will stay that way for Friday into the

weekend with low pressure close by. On Friday that may produce showers

more widespread than Thursday. Those showers hang around over the

weekend. It is fresher for all. Chillier nights. That preview of

summer has come to an end. When it came to my TV habits,

I'd watch anything... But now I can sign in online

and get more of what I love. I'm kept up to date

with the shows I love and I get suggestions

on subjects I'll like.
