:05:29. > :05:33.stay to the end as well. We are going to have a brilliant display
:05:34. > :05:35.anyway. It is a disappointment because of the long association with
:05:36. > :05:37.Red Arrows in Jersey. It's been a great day in the islands
:05:38. > :05:40.with plenty of sunshine. More of the same would be
:05:41. > :05:42.nice for the weekend. The man who can tell us is Dan Downs
:05:43. > :05:48.he has your forecast. Thank you. I find day for the
:05:49. > :05:52.islands today and a similar picture into the weekend. Staying fine and
:05:53. > :05:56.dry will stop there is the risk of some morning mist and fog patches.
:05:57. > :05:59.We have high pressure with us, keeping things settled at the
:06:00. > :06:03.moment. It does slip away to the east during because of the weekend.
:06:04. > :06:08.Keep things fine into Sunday but by Monday this weather front here is
:06:09. > :06:12.moving down across. Turning rather cloudy and cool. Not a great deal of
:06:13. > :06:16.rain on that front by the time it reaches us. This has been the
:06:17. > :06:22.picture to today. Hardly any cloud in the sky for the islands or indeed
:06:23. > :06:26.England or Wales. It stays clear for most of us overnight tonight. The
:06:27. > :06:30.wind coming in, a bit of a breeze but I think the most of us
:06:31. > :06:34.temperatures are likely to dip overnight between eight and nine
:06:35. > :06:37.Celsius. Risk of mist and fog patches forming boat. First thing
:06:38. > :06:43.tomorrow morning. Quickly blown away and then it is a fine and great day.
:06:44. > :06:48.Ealing warm, the air mass coming up from the south. Highs of 18 or 19
:06:49. > :06:54.Celsius for Jersey. The UV level and the pollen will both be high.
:06:55. > :06:57.Similar into Sunday. More anyway of sunshine but the risk of cloud
:06:58. > :07:01.pitching in, particularly into the afternoon and around the coast. The
:07:02. > :07:05.chance of mist patches early on. The change comes in on Monday, turning
:07:06. > :07:11.cloudier and cooler. Have a good weekend. Looking good for the
:07:12. > :07:15.weekend. Plenty of barbecues and getting out and about in the
:07:16. > :07:16.sunshine. Take care, it is going to be very hot.
:07:17. > :07:18.That's your news this Friday evening, BBC Radio Guernsey
:07:19. > :07:25.and Jersey will have bulletins from six tomorrow morning
:07:26. > :07:30.And through the weekend. There is plenty information on mine as well.
:07:31. > :07:33.Good night. Monday, and north-westerly wind will
:07:34. > :07:40.drag in more cloud and temperatures will be down by 8-9 .
:07:41. > :07:45.Hello, my advice would be to make the most of the weather this
:07:46. > :07:49.weekend, if you can. Because there will be a good day love sunshine on
:07:50. > :07:53.offer and it will continue to warm up as well. This picture was taken
:07:54. > :07:57.in Cumbria, at Workington, later in the afternoon. We got the sunshine
:07:58. > :08:01.eventually in northern England but it's in the Northwest we have the
:08:02. > :08:02.lowest temperatures at the moment. Under clear skies,
