Hello, thanks for tuning into our holiday weather.

If you're travelling over the next day or so abroad, perhaps

across Europe, this is the place to find out what the weather trends are.

We're going to start with Europe for Friday

and the South of Europe,

the Mediterranean, is still looking very warm.

Temperatures still very much like summer.

30 degrees there in Crete, around about 30 or so in Athens.

But you'll notice it's not completely dry.

We are anticipating some rain showers across Greece and the Balkans too.

Rome is pretty hot at 29 degrees.

But if you are off to Madrid, Seville,

down towards the South coast of Spain, it is still very hot.

In many areas temperatures well in excess of 30 degrees Celsius.

Now for some other places as we head into Sunday.

For example in Toulouse temperatures up to around 30 degrees

and plenty of sunshine. Naples is still looking warm too.

But if you are going to France, not quite so warm.

Of course we are entering the cooler season now, but still fairly

pleasant - to the South of Bordeaux, up to around 26 degrees.

But Paris is not all that different to what we are getting in the UK,

around about the low 20s at best.

Brussels also fairly fresh,

20 Celsius with a chance of some showers.

Some other places - Amsterdam not too dissimilar from Brussels,

of course not a million miles away, with some sunny spells

and temperatures hovering around about that 20 degree mark.

Perhaps you are travelling across the pond towards the United States

and there is some storminess on the way across the Great Lakes

through the Mississippi Valley, generally the Midwest here,

all the way across the Great Plains, some thunderstorms here.

And very warm in New York recently -

it has been quite hot with temperatures around 30 degrees

and more of that to come through the course of Saturday and the weekend.

But it will eventually freshen up by the time we get to the end of Sunday.

In the Big Apple temperatures will drop down

to around 24 degrees Celsius.

Meanwhile, the other side of the US, for Los Angeles it's very hot.

Baking hot in fact. Temperatures in the mid-30s.

Seattle there a little bit fresher at around 25.

If you are really going to the other side of the planet, Australia,

of course it is a different season here, a lot fresher.

In Sydney we are seeing some showers,

but in the North and the tropics, and Darwin it is hot. It always is

close to the equator.

But this is what we are looking at for areas a bit further South,

so Sydney only around about 17 Celsius with a few showers.

Similar weather for Melbourne.

For most of us in Melbourne

and Adelaide the weather is looking fairly promising.

And for the North and the South Island of New Zealand, around about

12 degrees there in Christchurch, so a little on the cool side.

Auckland a little warmer at about 16 or 17 degrees.

And indeed into Monday the weather stays

fresh across the South East of Australia.

Back in the UK, the weekend for the UK, some sunshine,

there will be a little bit of rain in Scotland,

and also in Scotland it is going to turn fresher too.

It's as a result of this weather front crossing Scotland

and Northern Ireland,

so it will bring a brief spell of rain to the Lowlands,

but to the South of that, across most of England and Wales, a bit like

Thursday, Friday isn't really going to bring an awful lot of change.

It's the amount of cloud that we're going to get is very

difficult to predict.

For some of us it will be a

bright day with some sunshine poking through.

Other areas will be a bit more cloudy.

But the real rainfall is going to fall across Northern Ireland

and the Lowlands of Scotland.

However later in the day on Friday it is going to brighten

up across the Western Isles and here in the Highlands too we will

get some sunshine with temperatures of around 16 in Inverness.

And back into England and across most of the Midlands and East Anglia

it's looking dry apart from the odd little pesky shower,

maybe some thicker cloud, but on balance it's not such a bad day

with temperatures getting up

to around 20 or 21 degrees Celsius.

On Saturday the weather fronts from Scotland will move a little

bit further South, so maybe a little bit more cloud

and rain along some of these Eastern counties.

Also through Sunday we're expecting one of these weather fronts

to return to Scotland and bring some rain to the North,

in places like Moray and Aberdeenshire,

whereas once again in the South for England and Wales

and actually across Northern Ireland too it's looking dry. Bye.
