of the sport today team, goodbye. hello there. south—eastern parts of the uk were warmest and sunniest on monday, but things look a little bit different over the next few days. we are looking down towards iberia, a lot of cloud around here, that is going to get drawn up towards the uk, together with some warm and humid air, and it brings the threat of some thundery downpours towards the south—east. at the moment though, things are fairly quiet. towards the end of the night, we are starting to see a bit of rain arriving across the channel, we've got some rain in towards the north—west of scotland, but otherwise a dry start. a little bit chilly for some eastern parts of england. for the cricket at old trafford, whilst there is a band of cloud around, it shouldn't really produce any rain. it should be a dry day, fairly cloudy with temperatures maybe 18 or 19 degrees. we do have some rain though, coming into scotland, showery rain, mainly for western scotland, coming into northern ireland, too, and then some sunshine.
1:56 am
but increasing cloud for england and wales, and this rain, moving northwards through the channel into england and wales. the heaviest rain towards the south—east of england and east anglia. temperatures on tuesday, similar to those of monday. but it will feel quite muggy i think, as that wetter weather pushes in towards the south—east, and it's going to be arriving at royal ascot as well, which starts on tuesday. we've got some rain here, and overnight, and into wednesday as well before things improve for ladies‘ day on thursday. but before then, this is the main area at risk of some rain, which could be quite heavy, as you can see there, and some thunderstorms. now, this could be a high impact event but there is an awful lot of uncertainty about the detail. hence, it is a yellow thunderstorm warning from the met office. now, we may well find the earlier rain moving away, out into the north sea, and things quietening down for a while. but we're looking at some storms to push in on tuesday night, up from the near continent, into the south—east of england, the midlands towards east anglia and lincolnshire, perhaps, for the rush hour on wednesday.
1:57 am
that wetter weather then moves northwards, taking away most of the storms, but there's still some rain around across england and we could see some more storms in the south—east later. scotland and northern ireland, it's much more straightforward. there'll be some sunny spells, there'll be some showers around as well. and again, those temperatures 16—20 degrees. but a humid feel for many central and eastern parts of england, together with the storms potentially, all on that weather front. as that moves away we've got slightly fresher air, slightly cooler air coming in from the north—west around that area of low pressure. so things get a little more straightforward everywhere, really, i think, on thursday. most of the showers in the north—west of the uk, close to that area of low pressure. there'll be a few showers coming into england and wales, but not many, probably the driest weather and the warmest weather back again towards the south—east of england. again, highs of around 20 celsius.
