until next time, by for now. hello there. this week is set to bring some pretty big changes in our weather. there's something cooler on the way, something a bit more unsettled as well. but the weekend brought a real burst of heat. sunday's temperatures got all the way up to 33 degrees just to the west of london. that heat being drawn up from the near continent around this area of high pressure. the south—easterly winds affecting most parts of the british isles, it was a bit different and the west though, the air starting to come in from the atlantic, a cooler source of air, that cooler atlantic air will make more inroads over the next couple of days, firstly behind this little weather front here, things will turn a bit cooler. this, a big dangling weather front in the atlantic will eventually bring some much cooler air for all of us around the middle of the week. so, those temperatures gradually, slowly but surely, dipping away, will be a slow process, though, particularly in the east. and with that change we'll see some outbreaks of rain and perhaps some thunderstorms for a time.

through monday morning, some quite poor visibility, and mix of mist and murk, and low cloud, some fog patches too, especially through wales, the west midlands, north—west england, south—west scotland. and it is a bank holiday for most, but if you are travelling early, bearthat in mind. that should clear, then we see some long spells of sunshine again, the odd shower in the afr south—west, some rain and the strengthening breeze across the western isles, and generally it will be a cooler day in scotland, northern ireland, the western side of england and wales. further east though, in the sunshine, it could again get to 32 or 33 degrees. now a lot of dry weather and clear skies to take us through monday night into the early hours of tuesday, there is the ongoing chance of a shower across the south—west, maybe up into wales as well. there's temperatures over night between 11 and 17 degrees. so for tuesday this frontal system which would eventually, remember, bring that cooler air, will just store out to west, not making a lot of progress eastwards, so we will see plenty

of dry weather, some spells of sunshine but the increasing chance that we'll see some showers breaking out and thunderstorms, too. some of which could be heavy. the heat‘s increasingly getting squashed eastwards, could still get to 31, 32 degrees in the south—east, but it will be cooler futher west, and we'll see some rain later in the day into northern ireland. now, during tuesday night a scattering of showers and thunderstorms looks likely to push across the british isles, quite hit and miss but some of these storms could bring a lot of rain. and then as we get into wednesday, that front which will have been lingering out to the west for a couple of days will finally make its move. it slides eastwards, it takes some rain with it, and we're all left with some cooler, fresher weather by the time we get to thursday. some wet weather, too, particularly in the north—west.
