hour. hello. the forecast for the bank holiday weekend is, a somewhat messy one. yes, there will be a lot of warmth, there will be some muggy conditions too and some spells of spring sunshine. but, also some thundery downpours and predicting exactly where and when the worst of those will turn up is going to prove quite tricky. you can see the way these thunder clouds have been spreading erratically northwards across the western side of europe. that is the sort of weather pattern that is going to continue through the weekend. so here's one clump of heavy downpours and thunderstorms during friday, drifting across the midlands, wales and up into northern england. quite a lot of cloud here. quite a lot of cloud generally down to the south as we start off the day, but back cloud should break up to reveal some spells of sunshine into the afternoon. still the small chance of one or two
1:56 am
showers and thunderstorms but the main area of wet weather will be across wales, up into northern england, these hit and miss downpours continuing to drift through. but for northern ireland and scotland, here the best of the sunshine although the some north—eastern coastal parts of scotland there'll be some mist and murk and low cloud hanging around at times. as far as the temperatures go, a bit disappointing if you get stuck under cloud and with the showery areas of rain through the day, but in the sunshine, highs of around 22 or 23 degrees. now during friday night we'll see these showers and storms continuing to drift a little bit further west and they will tend to fizzle as they go. a lot of cloud left behind, some rather misty and murky conditions to take us into saturday morning. quite a muggy start to the day as well with temperatures around 12 to 1a degrees. saturday starts off with a lot of cloud. that cloud should break up to give some sunshine, particularly across the northern half of the british isles.
1:57 am
but further south, there is the increasing chance we'll see some really vicious thunderstorms breaking out, but they will be quite hit and miss. some places will probably avoid them and stay dry. in the best of the sunshine on saturday, those temperatures creeping upwards, 21 to 2a, or 25 degrees because we are going to be importing this very warm air from the near continent. but, what we are also going to be bringing up from the south is clusters of heavy thundery downpours. you can see the way frontal systems will continue to drift in. it looks likely that on sunday we could see some particularly intense downpours and thunderstorms, especially down towards the south—west. high pressure though holds firm further north, so here a quieter weather story with some spells of sunshine and some pleasant warmth at 18 to 2a degrees. but further south, yes there will be some spells of sunshine with quite a muggy feel and a threat of some really intense downpours and thunderstorms, particularly on sunday. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is lewis vaughanjones. our top stories: the white house blames north korea for a trail of broken promises as president trump cancels the summit with kim jong—un.
