:09:28. > :09:32.Lowest temperatures coming in at around 13 or 14 Celsius.
:09:33. > :09:35.Thursday, off to a great start in places.

:10:14. > :10:23.Unusually, I can say good morning. Wednesday has been noticeable for a
:10:24. > :10:29.number of reasons. From a meteorological point of view, it was
:10:30. > :10:32.the warmest day of the year for Wales and Northern Ireland. Nothing
:10:33. > :10:35.like it across the East of Scotland, where the temperature was locked
:10:36. > :10:42.firmly into the mid-teens thanks to the presence of the low cloud and

:10:52. > :10:55.Another very close night, 17, 18 or 19, something of that order. It will
:10:56. > :10:59.take some time on Thursday morning but we will see some of this low
:11:00. > :11:04.cloud creeping towards the eastern shores and into the north-east of
:11:05. > :11:07.England. Around the eastern shores of Scotland and the Northern Isles,
:11:08. > :11:11.it will stick. At the opposite end of the country, things may come
:11:12. > :11:14.together. Some moisture, breezes coming together and some heat, it
:11:15. > :11:20.could produce some violent and thundery showers. The risk of
:11:21. > :11:21.thunderstorms comes as far east as the Hampshire border. For many of
