2:55 pm
the k—pop following so, yes, i think it's more relevant than ever. i think last year was the most it's more relevant than ever. i think last year was the most watched glastonbury coverage in history. thank you very much. a lot more and for those of you have tickets, you're very lucky with a line—up like that. we go straight to the hudson river, in new york, these are live pictures showing us british airways concord supersonicjet airways concord supersonic jet travelling airways concord supersonicjet travelling along the hudson river, it is returning there. it is returning to the intrepid museum and that's after it was refurbished. an icon of the airways, the british airways concord. that's it from me, thanks for watching. hello. you may have noticed things feeling a little milder out there today. certainly temperatures have been on the rise,
2:56 pm
but we're paying for it because it's another fairly cloudy day for many of us with outbreaks of rain, too. this is the picture in bedfordshire. we have had some spells of hazy sunshine in the south and the east, but really through the rest of today, showery rain affecting much of the uk. but it is certainly feeling mild, particularly in the south. that's down to the fact that we've got the air coming in from the southwest, this warm front sitting across parts of scotland in particular. a cold front does follow on behind, so something a little cooler and showery later in the day, particularly out towards the west. but we could see 16, possibly 17 degrees in the warmest spots across parts of eastern england, butjust single figures across scotland. and that's because we're sitting in the slightly cooler air and more persistent rain here across central scotland. some patchy rain for northern ireland, northern england and wales just drifting slowly eastwards as we head through the evening hours. so you may well catch a shower almost anywhere through this evening and overnight as well. the next band of showery rain moving into the south—west for the early hours of friday. for most of us, it's mild night, certainly frost free, but a little bit chillier across central and northern parts of scotland first thing tomorrow. so we've still got that more
2:57 pm
persistent rain across scotland. nothing particularly heavy, and it'll turn to snow for a time, just on top of the highest peaks. should tend to dry up a little bit tomorrow for northern ireland into wales, the south—west as well. so some sunnier spells, still a few scattered showers elsewhere working their way eastwards on that breeze. and top temperatures, 15, possibly 16 degrees, so a degree or so down on what we've got out there today. but friday night now we're looking at heading into saturday morning, it's quite a cold night, particularly in the north. certainly a chance of some frost around here. could be some mist and fog patches for parts of southern and eastern england, for instance, as well. more cloud on saturday, than starts to work in from the south—west. so we'll see some showers, potentially northern ireland, wales and south—west of england, whereas further north and east you're more likely to stay dry through the day. and temperatures for most of us, ranging between around six in lerwick to 13 in norwich. heading through the second half of the weekend, then, into sunday, this frontal system makes its way further east. so, yes, it will bring a spell of rain around. it could be lingering for some eastern areas first thing on sunday. but then it does look like we see a return to sunny spells and a few scattered showers moving in on that breeze. not a bad day, actually,
2:58 pm
for many of us. some sunshine looks like it could break through. and, again, we're in that milder air with temperatures up to around about 1a to 16 for most of us.
