time for a look at the weather here's chris fawkes. looking at the weather today, loads of showers, so dramatic clouds shooting up through the blue skies and then downpours, thunder and lightning mixed in. this is the extent of the showers. there are a few gaps, especially in north—west england. what a lovely afternoon in cumbria. plenty of sunshine which i'm sure felt pleasant. showers taking ages to finally calm down. heavier rain across southern counties of england and rain also in northern scotland but in between, eventually becoming drier. temperatures similar to recent nights. tomorrow, rain in scotland and the south of england but otherwise bright and sunshine. shower clouds developing and by the

afternoon, heavy and thundery. most of them along this area across eastern england and scotland. further west, eastern england and scotland. furtherwest, rising eastern england and scotland. further west, rising pressure, wales, probably the west of england. a reasonable chance in these areas of a dry afternoon with some lengthy sunshine which will feel pleasant. make the most of it because thursday and friday sees this low pressure moving back across the uk. this one bringing heavy rain. they start right across the east on thursday. rain gathering across the west and that will spread along with strong wind, up to 50, perhaps 60 mph around the most exposed coasts and hills of southern wales. a blustery day, the wind strong enough to bring down some branches. similar on friday, wet and windy and then the sunshine and showers mixture is back for the weekend. thanks, chris. it's goodbye from me.

and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday, i'm austin halewood — coming up this evening... just three days after the fa cup final. chelsea and leicester are ready to do battle again. after managing 16 teams across eight countries. roy hodgson says he's stepping back from the premier league.

later in the programme i'll be looking at the relationship between cricket and climate change. and what the sport might look like in the future. good evening, welcome to the programme. within the last hour football fans have been welcomed back into premier league stadiums across the country, for the first time this year. in some cases, tonight will be the first time supporters have been able to see their team in person for almost 1a months. 10,000 fans are inside old trafford right now, where manchester united against fulham. many of them protesting the club owners. but man united had taken the lead. what a goal it was. great to hear

those roars once again. there are three of the games tonight. the big game of the evening comes a little bit later as chelsea host leicester, in a match that could be crucial in deciding the shape of the top four at the end of the season. and after this weekend's fa cup final, there's plenty of unfinished business between these two. he will hit it! beautiful! what a shot! brilliant save! absolutely awesome! it is in!— shot! brilliant save! absolutely awesome! it is in! this is tight! what a moment _ awesome! it is in! this is tight! what a moment this _ awesome! it is in! this is tight! what a moment this is - awesome! it is in! this is tight! what a moment this is for - awesome! it is in! this is tight! | what a moment this is for var. awesome! it is in! this is tight! - what a moment this is for var. this is massive- — what a moment this is for var. this is massive. the _ what a moment this is for var. ti 3 is massive. the lines are put in, the verdict is no goal! it is the year of leicester city. fa cup winners for the very first time.

deal to stay at southampton. he's been on loan from everton and has now signed a two year deal at the club where his career started. after coming through the southampton acadamey he made his first team debut at the age of 16 in 2005. britain's adam peaty has defended his title in the 100 metre breaststroke at the european swimming championships in budapest. he won with a time of 57.66 — to continue his preparation for the tokyo 0lympics later this summer — taking the title for a fourth straight championship. britain's james wilby came close taking the bronze medal. england have named a 15—man squad for their two—test series against new zealand next month. wicketkeeper batmsmanjames bracey and pace bowler 0llie robinson are in and could both win theirfirst caps. bracey was a reserve for england last summer, there's every chance that both will get the opportunity to impress ahead of a busy summer forjoe root�*s side.

a host of england players are being rested having just returned from the indian premier league. no ben stokes orjofra archer as well, who are both injured. now, all this week on bbc sport, we're looking at the potential impact of climate change on events around the world. particularly, how things could look three decades from now. well cricket could be one of the worst affected sports if nothing is done. as global temperatures continue to rise, it could become difficult to even play in the southern hemisphere. but climate change could also effect the sport closer to home. ben croucher�*s been to find out more. syd ney sydney 2018, sun scorching cricketers wilting, if the melting pot of an asset was not hot enough, temperatures rose about 47 degrees. —— an ashes. ajoe root, there was no escaping the heat. he was hospitalised that night was severe dehydration. hospitalised that night was severe
