starting to push in during the course of thursday. we start bright, northern and eastern areas have some sunshine and then the clouds begin to build through the morning, spreading to all areas with outbreaks of rain. pretty widespread rain, nothing too heavy, but we could pep up across parts of north—west england and southern and western scotland, where it could be heavier later in the afternoon. and a breezy day to come for all, windierfor northern and western areas. temperature—wise we are looking at high teens in the north, low 20s in the south. because of the lack of sunshine, it won't be quite as warm as we will have this afternoon. the rain clears out through thursday night, it leaves a legacy of cloud, just one or two showers, particularly across north—west scotland. we will start to pick up warmer air again across southern areas, so another muggy night to come across england and wales compared to what we will have across scotland and northern ireland. friday we will have west or south—westerly winds, so a bright and breezy day, plenty of sunshine around. just a few showers, north and west scotland seeing most of those, the odd one for northern ireland, perhaps

for cumbria, but largely dry elsewhere and dry for eastern scotland. decent temperatures — the low to mid 20s, maybe 25 or 26 degrees across the south—east and that is a sign of things to come, for england and wales, certainly, things hotting up into the weekend. a brief, but intense plume of hot air is expected to move north out of france. that could push temperatures into the low to mid 30s across the south—east of england, but even the high 20s there for south wales. but it will be short lived, as temperatures return to normal next week.
