Well, it really is getting a little too hot now.

0:00:020:00:04

Certainly too hot for folks across the south

0:00:040:00:06

of those soaring temperatures,

0:00:060:00:08

and we're potentially at least on course

0:00:080:00:10

for the hottest June day in 40 years,

0:00:100:00:13

but recently temperatures have been up to 31 degrees.

0:00:130:00:17

Tuesday not quite so hot.

0:00:170:00:19

The following day, much, much hotter,

0:00:190:00:20

so that heat will peak on Wednesday.

0:00:200:00:24

And also we're in for some thunderstorms.

0:00:240:00:26

The thunderstorms will be affecting northern

0:00:260:00:29

and western areas of the UK during the course

0:00:290:00:32

of Wednesday and into Thursday.

0:00:320:00:34

So in the short term, very little happening

0:00:340:00:36

on the weather front. Still very, very warm

0:00:360:00:39

across the South here.

0:00:390:00:40

Thunderstorms possibly getting into

0:00:400:00:42

northern and north-western areas first thing in the morning.

0:00:420:00:45

Temperatures around 8am already into the 20s

0:00:450:00:48

for the southern counties,

0:00:480:00:49

across central parts of England as well.

0:00:490:00:52

At this stage, they really are shooting up like a rocket.

0:00:520:00:55

To the north of that, a lot fresher.

0:00:550:00:57

You'll notice some blobs of blue here.

0:00:570:00:59

These are potential showers, maybe some thunderstorms as well,

0:00:590:01:03

across south-western parts of Scotland, further north too.

0:01:030:01:06

A lot fresher, first thing in the morning,

0:01:060:01:08

around 12 degrees in Inverness.

0:01:080:01:09

Soaring temperatures and that extreme heat being pushed in

0:01:090:01:13

resurges from the near continent.

0:01:130:01:15

It will be a relatively small area that will get

0:01:150:01:17

those fantastically high temperatures.

0:01:170:01:19

To the north of that, we've got potentially

0:01:190:01:21

some thunderstorms during the course of the day.

0:01:210:01:24

Little bit further north and a little bit further south as well.

0:01:240:01:27

Very difficult to predict exactly where the storms will be.

0:01:270:01:29

Temperatures in the 20s, and then that 34,

0:01:290:01:32

if that happens it will be the hottest day

0:01:320:01:35

in 40 years in June.

0:01:350:01:38

It's been hotter in other months.

0:01:380:01:40

Glastonbury starts on Wednesday with 30 degrees

0:01:400:01:42

and then there'll be a sharp decline

0:01:420:01:44

in the temperatures, and the reason for that

0:01:440:01:46

is because fresher air will start arriving.

0:01:460:01:48

I just want to point out that Wednesday into Thursday

0:01:480:01:51

there will be storms rumbling. It's very difficult again

0:01:510:01:53

to say where there will be, but there is

0:01:530:01:55

a good chance of them across this central swathe of the UK,

0:01:550:01:57

but eventually that fresher air pushes through

0:01:570:02:00

and look at those temperatures, back down to 26 in London,

0:02:000:02:02

which is still pretty hot but we're mostly in the teens.

0:02:020:02:05

Remember, it's going to take days,

0:02:050:02:06

especially in the south, for those houses to cool off

0:02:060:02:09

after storing all of that heat after such a prolonged spell

0:02:090:02:13

of hot weather. So here's Friday's weather forecast,

0:02:130:02:16

a cool front shimmies across the UK,

0:02:160:02:18

so that means behind it fresher conditions coming in,

0:02:180:02:21

and in fact even ahead of it.

0:02:210:02:23

Temperatures only down to around 23 degrees in the south-east.

0:02:230:02:27

15 there across Scotland, and there'll be

0:02:270:02:29

some bits and pieces of rain around as well.

0:02:290:02:31

And then the weekend, one weather front clears away

0:02:310:02:34

and then we're in between weather systems,

0:02:340:02:36

so probably some sunshine with some showers on Saturday,

0:02:360:02:39

bit of a breeze, and then Sunday,

0:02:390:02:40

maybe some rain getting into north-western areas,

0:02:400:02:43

so a little bit more changeable during the course of the weekend.

0:02:430:02:47

So I'm pleased to say it will be fresher for many of us,

0:02:470:02:51

particularly across the south during the course of the weekend

0:02:510:02:54

and there'll be a little bit of rain on and off as well

0:02:540:02:57

here and there. Now into next week.

0:02:570:03:00

Early next week, the high pressure and the hot air is to the south,

0:03:000:03:03

low pressure's close by, so that's basically allowing

0:03:030:03:05

for that fresher Atlantic air to come in.

0:03:050:03:07

It'll be in the 20s, I think, at most,

0:03:070:03:09

whereas that heat is way towards the south.

0:03:090:03:12

Not a million miles away, but it's just further south,

0:03:120:03:15

so we're not going to be getting that heat wave.

0:03:150:03:18

So next week, fresher, some rain around,

0:03:180:03:20

and at this stage, there's no signs of that heat

0:03:200:03:22

returning at this stage.

0:03:220:03:24

Things could change, but for now,

0:03:240:03:25

I think it's mostly good news on the weather front.
