econo, for me and the rest of the sports stadium, have a good evening. bye—bye. —— rest of the sports sports stadium. hello there! tuesday brought us three different zones of weather across the uk, so it was quite a mixed weather picture. it was across parts of the east midlands, central, southern england, east anglia and the south east that we had the best of the day sunshine and it was warm too, temperatures reached the mid 20s in the warmest spots. but not that far away we had this stripe of rain, a slow moving weather front that brought wet weather. the front itself did move away from scotland and northern ireland for the most part after a soggy morning here in crieff and perth and kinross. at least the weather brighten up through the afternoon. now looking at the weather picture overnight tonight, here is our weak weather front, stretched across northern england, wales and into the south west of england. with that there will be some areas of low cloud, bit of mist and fog around some
6:57 pm
of the hills and the coast, and further patches of mostly light rain. there will be some rain returning to northern ireland towards the end of the night as well. we've got these three zones of weather then for the forecast tomorrow too. first of all, our old weather front, well, it could pep up to bring one or two heavier bursts of rain, but i think more likely the heaviest rain on wednesday will be affecting northern ireland and into parts of scotland through the course of the day, but that still leaves east anglia and south east england, where it's going to be dry, sunny and warm. if anything, it could be even hotter. temperatures might reach 27 degrees in the very warmest spots. now, by the time we get to thursday, a cold front will have swept away that heat from easternmost areas of england, so temperatures will be returning back closer to average. a lot of dry weather around. a few blustery showers, though for the north—west of scotland and a few isolated showers, possibly building through the day in northern ireland and the north—west of both england and wales. but overall, thursday's not a bad kind of day. and for friday, well, there is a risk of seeing a few showers affect the northern isles for a time, thanks to this area of low pressure. but otherwise high pressure starts to build across the uk and that's going to be with us through friday
6:58 pm
and into the weekend beyond. what that means is for most of you, it's looking dry to the end of the week. could be a few early morning mist and fog patches to clear, but otherwise some fine spells of sunshine are forecast to develop widely. temperatures again climbing into the 20s widely across england and wales. high teens for scotland and northern ireland. in that late august sunshine it should feel pleasantly warm and the sunny skies stay with us into the weekend as well. however, there isjust a small chance of a few showers coming up from france to affect southernmost areas of england on sunday.
