:00:15. > :00:17.Today offered some promise that the sun was out. We finished on a fine
:00:18. > :00:25.note across many parts of the country. Reverting to type a little
:00:26. > :00:28.bit. A rather chilly night, particularly in the countryside.
:00:29. > :00:32.Across parts of Scotland we could get down to four 5 degrees, not what
:00:33. > :00:37.you want to see in August. The ridge of high pressure keeps things dry. A

:00:47. > :00:53.rain. A lot of dry weather across parts of England to start with. From
:00:54. > :00:56.morning onwards, we will see that pushing into western Scotland. Much
:00:57. > :01:02.of England and Wales, eastern Scotland, predominantly dry, not
:01:03. > :01:06.completely dry through the day. Cloud increases, but with hazy

:01:39. > :01:44.Temperatures widely into the 20s. A change by Friday, showers, some
