hello. if you're in search of dry, settled, summer weather, well, i'm afraid you probably won't find it in this weather forecast. certainly not while low pressure is in charge, and that is what we have in the heart of this swirl of cloud that you can see on our earlier satellite picture. this area of low pressure is going to drift its way eastwards across the british isles over the next couple of days. it will provide very heavy, thundery downpours. there will always be some spells of sunshine in between. so, many eastern parts of england and eastern scotland starting the day dry, but the showers already in the west will swing their way eastwards as the day wears on. some of them will be heavy, some of them will be thundery, there could even be some localised disruption. you can see in between the showers, though, some spells of sunshine. it will be quite breezy in the south, light winds in the north, so across scotland, the showers will be pretty slow—moving.
1:56 am
some locations could get a real deluge and temperatures ranging from 17 degrees in stornoway to 23 in london. now, as we go through tuesday evening, many of the showers will fade but some will continue through the night, particularly across western and northern areas and some of those hours could still be heavy and thundery. temperatures generally between 11—14 degrees, it may getjust a bit cooler than that across some parts of northern england and scotland, where the skies are clear and the winds are light. so we go into wednesday and really, it's a game of spot the difference. again, there will be some of these heavy downpours, most plentiful and heaviest across scotland where there could be some hail and thunder mixed in. not as many showers down towards the south and those temperatures again between 17—23 degrees.
1:57 am
now, if you are looking for a drier day, thursday may fit the bill because our area of low pressure is starting to drift away and you can just about this little bump in the isobars here. that's a ridge of high pressure trying to take charge of our weather. so on thursday there will be more in the way of dry weather and some spells of sunshine. still a potential for one or two showers, particularly through scotland and northern england. temperatures, well, just a touch higher. the winds light as well, butjust behind me, down to the south—west, you can see some wet weather gathering. that is the start of another very unsettled spell to take us into the weekend. bands of rain driving northwards during friday and this area of low pressure taking up residence by saturday, bringing some showers or even some longer spells of rain. some unusually brisk winds as well, so if you have plans for the weekend, it's
