0:00:02 > 0:00:05Hello. There are some changes on the way this weekend.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08Wednesday, though, was the hottest day of the year so far
0:00:08 > 0:00:10in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales,
0:00:10 > 0:00:13and there's more heat widely on Thursday.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16A misty start for Northeast England,
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Eastern Scotland, Central Lowlands,
0:00:18 > 0:00:21that cloud burned back to the North Sea coast.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Sunshine and soaring temperatures,
0:00:23 > 0:00:24maybe a shower or two,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27most likely across Devon and Cornwall.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Probably going to be a dry day across Wales.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34Lots of sunshine. 30 degrees in Powys on Wednesday.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Won't be far off that on Thursday.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Another hot day for Northern Ireland,
0:00:39 > 0:00:43the chance of a shower in Fermanagh and Tyrone.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Should be a dry day for Scotland,
0:00:46 > 0:00:48low cloud slow to clear through the Moray Firth,
0:00:48 > 0:00:51lingering up towards Shetland
0:00:51 > 0:00:53and coastal areas,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56but 25 degrees for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Very warm across Northern England
0:00:58 > 0:01:01away from some of those coastal areas,
0:01:01 > 0:01:03high temperatures in the sunshine.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07It's possible we could get a shower in Hampshire and Sussex,
0:01:07 > 0:01:10but much of Southern England will have a dry day.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Any thundery showers in the Southwest
0:01:13 > 0:01:15will slip away during the evening
0:01:15 > 0:01:17so it should be a dry night,
0:01:17 > 0:01:20another warm and muggy one again,
0:01:20 > 0:01:22low cloud coming back inland
0:01:22 > 0:01:25further into Scotland and the Northeast of England.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28High pressure has been with us for quite some time.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31It's blocking weather fronts from off the Atlantic
0:01:31 > 0:01:34and it's still there on Friday.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Around the base of the high pressure, we've got blustery winds
0:01:38 > 0:01:40across East Anglia and the Southeast of England,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43low cloud again burning back
0:01:43 > 0:01:45but lingering around some coastal areas,
0:01:45 > 0:01:48otherwise we'll see sunshine,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51maybe one or two showers developing in Scotland,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54and the risk of a thundery one in Southern England,
0:01:54 > 0:01:56thanks to the heat later in the day.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Another very warm, if not hot day.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Things change in time for the weekend.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Low pressure nibbling at that high pressure
0:02:04 > 0:02:06is going to introduce this front.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09That will start to bring wetter weather into Northern Ireland
0:02:09 > 0:02:11and Western fringes of Scotland,
0:02:11 > 0:02:15and this showery rain pushes further across Scotland,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Northern Ireland, maybe Northwest England
0:02:18 > 0:02:21and Wales. For most of England and Wales,
0:02:21 > 0:02:23a dry day. The heat still there,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26maybe triggering a thundery shower
0:02:26 > 0:02:27in the Southeast later.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30That weather front slips Southeastwards on Sunday,
0:02:30 > 0:02:32high pressure building in behind
0:02:32 > 0:02:35but leaving us with a Northerly breeze.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37That'll drop the temperatures
0:02:37 > 0:02:40and we'll see showers across the Eastern side of England,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43although one or two never too far away from Scotland, Northern Ireland,
0:02:43 > 0:02:46but it won't be as hot as it is at the moment.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Monday - 25 degrees in the Southeast,
0:02:49 > 0:02:53but there are some weather fronts to bring patchy rain
0:02:53 > 0:02:55to the Northwest of Scotland,
0:02:55 > 0:02:57maybe the North of Northern Ireland.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00As we head into next week, there will be some subtle changes.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03High pressure is never far away.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04The position is crucial.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09For a while, it looks like that high pressure will slip further South,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11keeping Southern areas dry
0:03:11 > 0:03:16but we'll get more unsettled weather coming into Northern parts of the UK.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19So, what does it mean? Some sunshine, yes,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22but there won't be an awful lot of rain at all
0:03:22 > 0:03:24and whilst it's not going to be hot,
0:03:24 > 0:03:26still, for many of us,
0:03:26 > 0:03:30those temperatures close to or above average for the time of year.
