hello there. today, we've seen a mixture of sunshine and showers, a familiar mix, but fewer showers are mostly focused on southeastern parts of england. other eastern areas of england, though, seeing a spell of rain just for a while. that may well tend to move away temporarily. and it is going to be turning drier over the next few days as high pressure noses in from the atlantic, but we've still got that northerly wind overnight. it will bring more cloud to eastern parts of england and we'll see a bit more rain arriving later on in the night as well. further west, though, we're going to have clearer skies and lighter winds, a few short—lived mist and fog patches by the end of the night, and a little bit cooler where we have the clearer skies. temperatures in scotland could be down to six or seven degrees. with it some rain or some showers — those becoming confined to the southeast of england in the afternoon. other areas may brighten up a bit. but it's further west and further north that will have the best of the sunshine light winds as well —

a very pleasant day. if anything, it's going to be a bit warmer than today. so we'll see temperatures in the sunshine getting up to 20 or 21 celsius. again, a bit coolerfor some eastern areas of england, perhaps as it will be for saturday. there's our area of high pressure. the winds are falling lighter, even across eastern parts of england. still a northerly breeze, so maybe one or two showers here, many places will be dry, and again, we've got and again, we've got the sunnier skies closer to the high to the north and west of the uk, and those temperatures again reaching 20 or 21 celsius, a little bit cooler around some eastern parts of england. but temperatures are going to rise here the second half of the weekend — a change of fortunes to come. the high pressure is never quite making it to the uk. it's getting squeezed on sunday and all this cloud is coming in from the atlantic around the top of the high that will be working its way into much of scotland. northern ireland eventually bring a little rain into the far northwest, but we've still got some

sunshine for england and wales and a sunnier day with lighter winds across east anglia in the south east means it's going to be warmer here as well. temperatures are going to peak at 22 or 23 degrees. still quite warm in the sunshine for eastern scotland, cooler in western scotland with the cloud. and things are going to change a bit as we head into next week. there's some rain in the forecast mainly for northern areas of the uk. further south, it's looking generally dry still and, if anything, still quite warm as well.
