bbc weather presenter tomasz schafenaker has more. on saturday we've got the rugby in tokyo, that's new zealand versus italy, then we've got england versus france in yokohama. another problem is we still aren't entirely sure where the centre, where the core of this storm is going to go. in fact there are some scenarios, some computer models suggesting this storm could swerve a little bit toward southern parts of japan, closer to yokohama. it could come closer to yokohama. it could come closer to yokohama. it could come closer to tokyo. but of course will have an effect on the matches. high winds, heavy rain. some of the stadiums have partial rooms, but regardless of where this storm is going to hit, the effects and the disruption could be quite big in japan. so take that more northerly track towards japan, the match in tokyo would be more affected, if it swe rves tokyo would be more affected, if it swerves further to the south, the match, the england versus france in yokohama, will be affected more. but regardless of where the storm is

going to hit, it's a large one, it's a powerful one, and the impacts could be very significant. we'll keep you posted. lyon have sacked manager sylvinho after a poor start to the season in liguei. the club finished third last season but only have nine points from nine games, having won just two matches. sylvinho‘s last game in charge was sunday's 1—0 defeat to rivals saint—etienne. the former brazil left back retired from the game in 2011 after playing for clubs including arsenal, barcelona and manchester city. tottenham have confirmed their captain and goalkeeper hugo lloris won't return to training with the club until next year. he sustained a dislocated elbow during the 3—0 defeat to brighton on saturday. lloris underwent further assessment on monday and although surgery won't be required, he will need to undergo a period of rest and rehabilitation. sri lanka have won a first ever t20 series against pakistan with an under strength side in lahore. several of their senior players

from the olympic gold medallist jack laugher. here he is at a training camp in turkey with a few other members of the british diving team and they're channelling the comic book movie franchise ‘the avengers‘ with their best superhero impressions here, choreographed to perfection. you can get all the latest sports news at our website, that's bbc.com/sport. we'll see you later on. hello there. this week is looking typically autumnal, quite an unsettled, windy at times and there will be plenty of showers in the forecast. also some sunshine, it won't be a washout all the time, but when you catch one of the showers, they will often be quite heavy. maybe with a rumble of thunder and some hail mixed in, too. all down to low pressure, which will be just to the north—west or to the north of the uk over the next few days and indeed for much of the week. so our air will be coming in of the atlantic with these

weather fronts bringing in bands of showers. one thing you will notice, though, it's not going to feel particularly cold, we will have our air coming in off the atlantic from a west or south—westerly direction most of the time. so that means around average temperatures throughout the day. and at night, it should keep the frost and fog at bay. so if tuesday, it's going to be a bright, sunny start across many central and eastern areas, plenty of showers across to the west but will tend to work their way through, and they'll be blown in on a strong wind. so they'll move through quite quickly, despite them being quite heavy in places. like i said, with thunder and hail. and the winds will be gusting, very squally, 40—50 miles an hour in places, so this i was won't be with you for long. temperature—wise, highs of 16 or 17 degrees, generally the low to mid teens further north, particularly where you hold onto frequent showers. as we had to tuesday night, it looks like those hours, blustery, continue across northern and western areas, central and eastern areas may tend to turn drier, in fact, with clear skies. most temperatures no lower than around 7—10 degrees. for wednesday, then, low pressure still with us,

just to the north of the uk, tightly packed isoba rs, so another windy day, and these weather fronts producing bands of showers. there will be one heading into parts of england and wales, i think, through wednesday morning. so we will see an enhancement of showers across western areas through the morning into the afternoon. there could be a cluster of maybe heavy, thundery ones pushing across south wales and southern england. again, further north, closer to that area of low pressure, this is where we'll see most of the showers across western scotland. temperatures on wednesday probably a notch down on tuesday's values. on into thursday, low pressure again to the north of the uk, it's going to be another windy day. bands of showers moving from west to east, most of them across the north and the west of the country. eastern areas may tend to stay dry, with some showers arriving through the afternoon, later on. temperatures again 13—16, maybe 17 degrees in the south—east. and it remains unsettled from thursday onwards, you can see sunshine and showers, those temperatures around the seasonal average,

and it remains windy as well.
