It's been a very dry week so far,

0:00:020:00:03

lots of beautiful weather around on Wednesday,

0:00:030:00:06

but our gardens are desperate for rain.

0:00:060:00:08

There is some rain on the way but not everybody is going to get it.

0:00:080:00:12

One thing we are going to notice,

0:00:120:00:14

certainly across the southern half of the UK,

0:00:140:00:16

is the humidity. It will be rising

0:00:160:00:19

as warm air pushes in from the south,

0:00:190:00:22

along with pent-up energy in the atmosphere

0:00:220:00:25

and the risk of thunderstorms.

0:00:250:00:26

But the short term is looking dry and clear

0:00:260:00:30

across most of the UK.

0:00:300:00:31

By Thursday morning,

0:00:310:00:33

there might be showers creeping into southern

0:00:330:00:35

or south-western parts of the UK,

0:00:350:00:37

maybe a few spots of rain in Orkney.

0:00:370:00:39

Not desperately cold during Wednesday night.

0:00:390:00:43

Here's a look at the morning picture.

0:00:430:00:46

Already showers and increasing cloud

0:00:460:00:48

across southern portions of the UK,

0:00:480:00:51

but for North Wales, the Midlands

0:00:510:00:53

and northwards of that,

0:00:530:00:54

the weather is looking beautiful,

0:00:540:00:57

so more sunshine on the way,

0:00:570:00:58

pleasant temperatures,

0:00:580:01:00

light winds, 9 or 10 degrees,

0:01:000:01:02

so a beautiful start to the day

0:01:020:01:04

across the majority of the country.

0:01:040:01:07

Then into the afternoon,

0:01:070:01:09

the clouds and humidity keep rising -

0:01:090:01:10

that's when the fun and games begin.

0:01:100:01:13

This is when we could see some thunderstorms.

0:01:130:01:16

They will be very hit and miss,

0:01:160:01:18

there won't be too many of them,

0:01:180:01:20

and those who do catch the storms

0:01:200:01:22

could experience some pretty brief big downpours,

0:01:220:01:25

but many will have a bright day

0:01:250:01:26

with hazy sunshine and it'll feel warm

0:01:260:01:29

and humid. There might be more substantial rain

0:01:290:01:32

on Thursday night, and this trend

0:01:320:01:35

will continue into Friday,

0:01:350:01:37

and these south-westerly winds

0:01:370:01:39

will keep on scooping up the moisture,

0:01:390:01:41

and the risk of thunderstorms

0:01:410:01:43

pushing all of that weather in our direction.

0:01:430:01:46

So, once again, on Friday,

0:01:460:01:47

a potential for storms

0:01:470:01:49

across central and southern parts

0:01:490:01:51

during the afternoon. Maybe even the morning.

0:01:510:01:54

Again, it'll feel humid and quite warm,

0:01:540:01:56

still getting up to about 20 degrees in London.

0:01:560:01:59

That cloudier weather will probably push

0:01:590:02:02

further northwards as we go into Saturday,

0:02:020:02:05

so temporarily drying out, just about,

0:02:050:02:07

in the south, and then this weather front,

0:02:070:02:09

with fresher air, will push its way

0:02:090:02:11

in the direction of the UK for Sunday.

0:02:110:02:13

This is the weather front

0:02:130:02:15

that's going to bring a little rain,

0:02:150:02:17

some showers in the afternoon,

0:02:170:02:19

but fresher Atlantic air,

0:02:190:02:21

so it won't be quite so humid.

0:02:210:02:23

Temperatures won't be much different,

0:02:230:02:26

15 to 20 degrees,

0:02:260:02:28

but it won't be quite as close.

0:02:280:02:30

That's Sunday's forecast.

0:02:300:02:32

How about into next week?

0:02:320:02:34

What we're looking at is a daisy chain of low pressures

0:02:340:02:37

approaching the UK, and this is a weather front

0:02:370:02:40

scooping up moisture from the south

0:02:400:02:43

and sending some pretty heavy rain

0:02:430:02:45

into western parts of the UK.

0:02:450:02:47

With these low pressures in the North Atlantic,

0:02:470:02:50

that moisture and those winds

0:02:500:02:52

will be coming in from the southwest

0:02:520:02:55

and with that, a potential

0:02:550:02:57

for a surge of real warmth

0:02:570:02:58

heading our way,

0:02:580:03:00

particularly to south-eastern parts.

0:03:000:03:02

It could even warm up to 25 degrees

0:03:020:03:04

between Monday and Wednesday.

0:03:040:03:06

It's not a guarantee though.

0:03:060:03:08

More western and north-western parts

0:03:080:03:10

are likely to hang onto cooler,

0:03:100:03:12

cloudier conditions

0:03:120:03:14

and some outbreaks of rain, at least from time to time.

0:03:140:03:16

So here's the summary for next week.

0:03:160:03:18

It looks like a warm start with a bit of rain in north-western areas,

0:03:180:03:22

and much fresher conditions.

0:03:220:03:24

Then it'll probably cool off

0:03:240:03:25

towards the end of the week.

0:03:250:03:27

Thanks for watching.
