but tomorrow some parts of the country could get even hotter. and i'll show you where in a moment. it won't be for northern areas. because here tonight and tomorrow morning we've got the threat of heavy rain, thunder, lightning and even some large hail that could bring some disruption further south where it's going to be dry. well, this is where we've got the core of the heat and high humidity. and tomorrow afternoon in cambridgeshire, perhaps temperatures could reach 35 degrees. that'll easily be the hottest day of the year so far through this evening. in the first part of the night, many places still dry with clear skies. few thundery showers are beginning to break out, running northwards, but the really wet weather, gusty winds, thunder and lightning sweeps into northern ireland later in the night and towards western scotland by tomorrow morning. eastern scotland a little bit cooler the rest of the uk. it's an uncomfortably warm and muggy night for sleeping, but we soon see the back of the rain from northern ireland. sunny skies follow this heavy rain and thunderstorms pushes across scotland, perhaps northern england, to clear away during the afternoon, with some sunshine following on behind.

further south, the threat of storms is much, much lower. there'll be a lot of sunshine around and this is where we've got the core of the heat and humidity. midlands parts of eastern england, temperatures in many places getting over 30 degrees further west and further north. things are going to be quite a bit cooler and it will feel fresher, particularly after all that wet weather sweeps through. now this sudden surge in the heat has come up from spain and from france. but all that heat is getting pushed eastwards across europe this week, and even the whole of western europe will turn cooler over the coming few days as we get atlantic winds arriving as well. and those atlantic winds are steering in this weather system from the atlantic. that area of low pressure actually contains a little bit of what's left of tropical storm debbie. that brought all the rain in the eastern side of the us. we're going to see some lighter, more patchy rain coming into western areas on tuesday, the winds picking up a bit as well. but ahead of that rain the midlands and eastern england still dry, still sunny, not as hot or as humid as monday, but it is going to be a very warm day on tuesday. but after that noisy start

to the week with all those thunderstorms and heavy rain and the heat and humidity, things get back to normal. the temperatures gradually slip away over the rest of the week, but it's still unsettled.
