have time for the now, but from me, tulsen tollett, and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. hello there, good morning. with all the energy and the instability in the atmosphere over the past 24 hours, we have seen a lot of heavy and thundery downpours. northern ireland for one has been battered by some storms earlier on, so too across parts of scotland, some fierce looking clouds, here. we've had about a months worth of rain at okehampton, in devon, due to some peninsular showers. now, there will be some more showers over the coming few days. we still have got this ever—present area of low pressure to the north—west of the uk. the closer you are to that, the more showers there will be but gradually, over the next two days, whilst there will be some showers and some sunshine, the showers should become fewer. let's head into the morning, though, and we still have some showers left over from overnight in scotland. quite a cloudy start here.
1:56 am
maybe the north—west of england. sunshine and showers into northern ireland. the other side of the pennines, across the midlands, it may well be a bright and sunny start but already a few showers running in to western fringes of wales. perhaps the far south—west of england, towards the coast, this time. whereas you move towards the south—east and east anglia, those earlier showers will big gone and it will be a bright sunny start. this picture was actually taken yesterday at the oval. good day for martin, there. and if you're going to watch the cricket, it should be exciting and it should be dry, actually, just a very small chance of a shower, not quite as breezy as today. there'll be some sunshine and it will be warm into that sunshine too. for many southern parts of the uk, there will be very few showers around at all. wales, up across the midlands, northern england, catching a few showers running through, not as widespread as we saw yesterday. but there will be some slow—moving heavy thundery downpours across northern ireland and into scotland. maybe some hail as well. 17—18 degrees here, at best 23 towards the south—east of england.
1:57 am
tuesday sees some further showers across the uk. but even further north, those showers not as wide spread. one or two heavy ones around but very much hit and miss, again towards the south—east likely to stay dry with some sunshine. the jetstream is all—importa nt, of course, and normally it is sitting at this time of the year between scotland and iceland but right now it's much, much further south and hence this very unsettled weather. as we head towards the middle part of the week, the jet stream will pick up another area of low pressure, rush it across the atlantic, heading towards the uk. things turning wetter from the south—west, slowly but surely, on wednesday. many areas ahead of that seeing some sunshine, a few showers perhaps in scotland. rain arriving across northern and eastern areas during the evening and on wednesday night. goodbye. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is gavin grey. our top stories: violent clashes as polls close in venezuela's divisive election. the us calls it a step towards a dictatorship.
