but from me, chetan pathak, and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. hello. wednesday starts with a bit of umbrella weather across some parts of the uk, but it should turn dry and sunny for many of us as the day goes on. two weather systems to talk about early on. this one clipping parts of south—east england and east anglia, with either showers or some rain, could be some heavy bursts. and this one moving out of scotland and northern ireland, taking some increasingly light and patchy rain further south through england and wales. starting temperatures double figures for england and wales, but something fresher for scotland and northern ireland, and it's less humid behind this weather front, and there'll be some sunshine around. a few showers pushing into north—west scotland, maybe along to the west of northern ireland. rain clears east anglia and the south—east lunchtime

at the very latest, and then a weakening weather front takes a few late—day showers towards this part of the world. sunny spells developed elsewhere in england and wales. here is a look at things at ii:00pm in the afternoon, and on the breeze, a feed of a few showers into north—west scotland. but most other parts here in scotland, and indeed in northern ireland, it'll be dry. you mayjust catch the odd shower in the west. good sunny spells developing across northern england, wales, the midlands and into the south—west. but a weakening weather front, with still maybe the odd shower associated with it, moves into east anglia and the south—east towards the end of the day. but hardly any rain left, really, and then it clears away and we've got clearing skies. and there mayjust be the odd patch of mist and fog as we go into thursday morning, but overnight into thursday, our weather systems have cleared away — clearing skies, and temperatures dip away. a much cooler night to come going into thursday morning, and into low single figures in some spots. under those clearing skies, we have an area of high pressure starting to build into the uk, which means although it's chilly first thing on thursday, there'll be plenty of sunshine to come first thing. it may not last all day.

you see the band here showing that we've got clear skies. as we go deeper into thursday, you could see some cloud starting to build. it may produce the odd shower, maybe more so into western scotland. most will be dry, just expect a bit more cloud to come, but still some sunny spells, and temperatures high teens, for a few into the low 20s. so, once we get past that chance of umbrella weather in the day ahead, for the rest of the week, it's looking mainly dry. but do note — again, the night will be chilly. and then, as we go into the weekend, we'll see a theme of cloud coming into western parts of the uk. that may produce a bit of patchy rain. the emphasis is on the plenty of dry weather, but as the weekend goes on, it will start to warm up a little bit too. that's your latest forecast. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is mike embley. our top stories: a dramatic rise in the death toll from hurricane maria.
