the weather story across the uk of late has been pretty dull and boring — we had to go to the football for some excitement, haven't we? in fact, yesterday, hardly a cloud in the sky again actoss much in the sky again across much of the country, as depicted by north wales, but some subtle differences as we go through the day today. there'll be a little more cloud around for many of us and there may even be a chance of a shower. why? well, the high pressure isjust weakening its grip a little and it's allowing this plume of showery rain to push up from the south—west. they'll be very hit and miss and not everywhere will see them, but there is a risk of a few of those, and at the same time the north—easterly breeze will drag in more cloud across northern england and eastern england throughout the day. so here, that could just have an effect of this feel of the temperature, but let's take a look at these showers in a little more detail, circulating around that south—west area, but we might see one or two just pushing up into southern england as well. so that could be pretty tricky if you are heading off to wimbledon. there is a small chance — only a very small chance —

of catching a shower but it is certainly worth bearing in mind. i suspect there will be a little more cloud around and that, for some of you, may come as welcome news. so this is sw19 with cloudy skies overhead. just an outside chance of a shower, perhaps this is over—reading it a little bit. you really will be unlucky if you do catch one, but it's worth bearing in mind, particularly in comparison to the weather that we've seen of late. but in terms of the feel of things, despite a little more cloud and the risk of a shower, temperatures are still slightly above the average for the time of year, with 21—24 degrees. now, look at this as we move out of wednesday into thursday, we have got a weather

front showing its hand in the far north—west. now, this will be interesting — not much in the way of rain on it but it is going to introduce a wind direction from a north—westerly and behind it, something a little bit fresher. so certainly on thursday, more cloud for northern ireland and for much of scotland, and a noticeable difference here to the feel of the weather. further south and east, we've still got that warmth and we lose the risk of few showers so temperatures are going to respond again back up to 29 degrees, as opposed to 15 or 19 degrees in the far north—west. that weather front will drift out of the way and then high pressure building again from the south—west so things quieten down as we move towards the weekend and if you don't believe me, look at the weekend story. friday and saturday, temperatures building and sunshine set to return, 29—30. take care. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is mike embley. our top stories: food and medical help finally reaches the boys trapped in a flooded cave system in thailand. but it could be weeks or months before they're rescued. this is still a huge operation
