of the sport today team, goodbye. hello. well, friday is not looking too bad at all across most of the uk. for the next couple of days will probably bring a little bit of cloud, a little bit of rain, not an awful lot. it is in fact going to be mostly dry for a lot of us and crucially, the temperatures will be rising. so while meteorological summer is coming to an end and friday is the last day of meteorological summer, and the 1st of september, it is autumn, technically, according to meteorologists. this is the forecast for the early hours of friday, a lot of clear weather out there, temperatures will be around 12 degrees at 5am on friday, a bit chilly in newcastle and edinburgh. we are talking about

six, there will be a hint of autumn first thing on friday morning. some sunshine around and a beautiful start to the day. there is a weather front approaching, you can see thatjust to the west of our neighbourhood. that will encroach on to northern ireland and maybe the isles of scilly later in the day, bringing a few spots of rain but nothing more than that. for most of us it is a dry day. i wouldn't rule out a shower in the south—east, so just a brief few spots of rain, that's pretty much it. temperatures will be typically around 20 degrees or so. friday is not a bad day. saturday, there is a weather front just stuck to the north—west of us. that means a little bit of cloud and rainfall. scotland, maybe the irish sea. we are not talking about an awful lot. if you squint you can see a little bit here just off lancashire and cumbria and south—western parts of scotland, maybe central parts of scotland, getting a few spots of light rain, possibly northern ireland. that's pretty much it. if anything, it will just be thicker cloud. central and eastern areas looking fine. if you've got plans on saturday, much of england is looking dry, and warming up as well, temperatures in the low 20s. saturday into sunday, we start to see warmer air coming out of france.

this is high pressure here, low pressure there. when we get this sort of setup, this kind of pattern, anything that comes from the west is going to get stuck, and then it sort of slides off to the north—west. so this is where we could see a little bit of rain during the course of sunday, but by the time we get to the afternoon i think the weather fronts will be stuck in the north—west, whereas many central, eastern and southern areas will remain dry. the winds will be light across the uk. that means those temperatures on saturday, or sunday rather, are going to be climbing. on sunday we could be talking about 25 degrees in the south—east. into the low 20s even further north. that's it from me. bye— bye. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is mike embley. our top stories:
