arabia. until next time, goodbye. good morning. it is the summer solstice today, but i just want to cast your mind back to this time last year when we saw a high of 35 degrees. it really was a scorcher on the 21st ofjune, 2017. however, for us, things will turn notably fresher today as we have a north—western flow driving that humidity away to the near continent. the wind swinging around that high, coming through the north—west. that is going to make it feel noticeably fresher out there. close to 19 hours of daylight. get out and enjoy it if you can. a scattering of showers and some gusty winds gusting in excess of a0 miles an hourfor the northern isles. a little bit of cloud developing. generally speaking, it is a quiet day. 1a to 18 degrees quite widely. might see 21 in the south—east corner if we are lucky. as we move out of thursday, we keep those clear skies with us

1:57 am
maybe some hazy looking skies but a pleasant 16 to 2a, 75 fahrenheit. warmer still on sunday, we still have those winds, the high pressure centred right across the uk. very little in the way of rain for the gardens. if you are a gardener or grower out there, that will be a little frustrating, but plenty of warm summer sunshine to look forward to. if you have outdoor plans on sunday, you will not be disappointed. guess what? there is more of the same to come right throughout the next week. warming up with temperatures likely to peak in the high 20s. enjoy. welcome to bbc news — broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe.
