there. that's it from us there is plenty more in the next half hour. more on our app if you want more on the stories we have been talking about this hour. do stay with us. hello, there. we've got low pressure close by to the east of england and eastern scotland, hence we've seen some rather cloudy, wet conditions in places this morning, whilst further west and increasingly in the south the sunshine will develop but trigger a few showers. this is the low pressure bringing the rain. it has brought rain to many eastern areas of england, in particular, through the morning, and it's pushing progressively into eastern scotland. so, clearing away from southern parts, perhaps a shower or two brewing. one or two heavy, wimbledon thundery ones here, and the risk for wimbledon, we will see a scattering of showers through wales and northern ireland.

drier for the north—west highlands, whilst we've got really rather cloudy, cool conditions in many areas further east, disappointing at 14 or 15, well below par, only 18 or 19, because the wind is coming from the north even in the sunshine. that north wind continues through this evening and overnight. more rain spilling in across the south—east of scotland, the north—east of england. drier as the showers start to fade away further south and west and a little cooler than the night just gone as well. perhaps a little bit of mist and fog first thing and certainly around the east coast and over the hills as we have seen during the morning today, that continues during tomorrow. if anything, less rain around tomorrow. more bright skies and sunshine developing for scotland and northern ireland, across england and wales, away from those east coasts. still a few showers but not as heavy as they will be today when there could be some thundery downpours. temperatures a little bit higher as a consequence, as well, responding to a little more sunshine and slightly less of a north breeze, which will continue into tomorrow evening. if you are sitting out watching the football, there is a lot of dry weather to be found away from the north sea coast.

it should be dry as well for the football itself over in germany. some fine and dry weather around to end the weekend, but it doesn't really last very long because as that low pressure moves away into scandinavia another one approaches from the south and west to bring some heavy and thundery rain in, potentially, to wales, central and southern england and then northern ireland by the end of the day, all of the time brightening up across the north and east of scotland and the north—east of england. a warmer day here, with the winds offshore rather than onshore into monday. as for beyond, it does look set to stay unsettled in the north, but something a little drier and warmer promised further south. as ever, you can catch up with the weather on the website.
