sunny skies and over 20 degrees. we've got a few more days of this on the way. beautiful evenings, perfect for a walk in the park. or some time in the beer garden, you've earned it. but mind the sunshine, it's strong, you've not been used to it for quite some time now, so you may want to consider sunscreen if you're out the whole day. ok, let's have a look at the forecast then. and the warm weather has spread much across the uk but into scandinavia and many other parts of europe as this high pressure continues to build. the winds are light, there's plenty of sunshine, it was a beautiful day on the east coast today. but out towards the west, you can see a little bit more cloud. that cloud is in the process of melting away. so, through this evening and overnight, we are talking about largely clear skies. however, we have got some low cloud in the north sea and a bit of onshore wind, so that does mean by the early
7:57 pm
hours of sunday morning, it could turn quite overcast and murky on the north sea coast and in fact, all the way down to the kent coast. but elsewhere, it is sunshine from the word go. so, a stunning start to the day across so many parts of the uk but that low grey cloud will be flirting with the north sea coast. so, let's have a closer look. this is 3pm on sunday. a little chilly for our friends in there with 10 degrees and some cloud. the cloud just off the coast of aberdeenshire there, but possibly lapping off to the coast of yorkshire, maybe lincolnshire, the norfolk coast but elsewhere inland, hardly a cloud in the sky. 22 degrees. perfect weather. into bank holiday monday, the warm air continues to spread across the uk, light winds. there is a weather frontjust to the west of our neighbourhood and the cold air is kept at bay out in the atlantic. on bank holiday monday, temperatures 23 in london, 23 in liverpool and into the 20s for glasgow and also for edinburgh. high—pressure still with us on tuesday, the weather front
7:58 pm
still kept at bay and the winds are coming in from the south in the southern clims. i think our warmest day will be on tuesday, peaking at around 25 in london, we could hit the mid—20s further north, 20 degrees for belfast with some sunshine as well. how long is going to last? it's certainly going to last until tuesday, but by the time to get a wednesday, there could be some thunderstorms in the way. but, you know what? that's a long way off, let's enjoy the sunshine for now.
