:00:00. > :00:00.afternoon. I will leave you with the outlook. It's certainly wellies at
:00:00. > :00:07.the ready tomorrow. Up next the national forecast.
:00:08. > :00:13.I hoped to be starting the show with a temperature league and trying to
:00:14. > :00:15.avoid saying what a scorcher. Instead these are the rainfall
:00:16. > :00:29.totals. Showers in the south-west,
:00:30. > :00:32.underneath that cloud yet again our weather watchers captured it all. We
:00:33. > :00:37.had funnel clouds here off the Essex coast and lightning too.
:00:38. > :00:41.I don't know what the maritime equivalent of a field day is but you
:00:42. > :00:45.certainly had it there if you had a camera close by. We haven't seen the
:00:46. > :00:49.last of those, they've rumbled away the last few hours. Some of that
:00:50. > :00:52.energy enhancing that rain that came to Bridlington and many other
:00:53. > :00:56.northern areas. That's the way it's going to stay overnight. One or o
:00:57. > :01:02.are two dryer slots further south. Across the northern half of Britain
:01:03. > :01:04.it's a much dryer prospect. The clouds may part, temperatures might
:01:05. > :01:09.get down to single figures but not a cold start to Wednesday. We will
:01:10. > :01:15.come back to that waterery theme in a second but it's worth emphasising
:01:16. > :01:17.for a greater part of Scotland, the north of England, Northern Ireland
:01:18. > :01:21.too, the western fringes of Wales from the word go, it's a dry enough
:01:22. > :01:26.and bright enough start to the day. Even parts of the south-east will be
:01:27. > :01:29.dry in the first part of the day, but if you are anywhere near that
:01:30. > :01:32.zone, especially through the Midlands, getting up towards
:01:33. > :01:36.Lincolnshire and East Anglia, just watch out if you are on the move
:01:37. > :01:40.because that rain will just keep on coming, it could get disruptive,
:01:41. > :01:45.there will be a lot of surface water. As I take you on through the
:01:46. > :01:49.day you will notice that front is very slow-moving, even ahead of it
:01:50. > :01:53.with brightness we might spark thunder storms in Kent and then the
:01:54. > :02:05.zone comes down. 20-30 millimetres widely here, if you catch one of the
:02:06. > :02:09.heavier downpours, 40-60. High pressure will topple in and become
:02:10. > :02:13.the dominant feature during Thursday with a notable exception of the that
:02:14. > :02:17.lingering weather front that will take time to get away from the
:02:18. > :02:20.south-east but will get there. Thursday is looking like another
:02:21. > :02:25.decent day. Loitering above my head another set of weather fronts
:02:26. > :02:27.bringing more cloud and wind and rain right down, eventually across
:02:28. > :02:30.all parts of the British Isles. I leave you
:02:31. > :02:32...this season, the whole game in full
