week. goodbye. —— we will be back. hello there. the hottest weather of the year so far awaits us as we head into the weekend. it�*s sunday that will be the hottest day of the two, with temperatures reaching 30 degrees in the very hottest areas. now, it�*s pretty humid across parts of england and wales on friday, but that humidity will be easing somewhat as we head into the first part of saturday morning. fresher air moving in for most. that said, it will stay pretty humid around the channel islands, still with some low cloud and some fog patches here to start saturday morning. otherwise, we�*ve got broken cloud, and these are the kind of temperatures we�*ll have to start the day — around about 10—14 degrees for most, so a mild start to the day already. now, for saturday morning, really, across the northern half of the uk, you�*ll see patches of cloud. eastern scotland probably having some decent sunshine. wales, the midlands, east anglia, southern england as well having a largely fine and settled start to the day with plenty of sunshine, too.

and for most areas, the weather will brighten up, but it will turn cloudier and more humid in northern ireland and western scotland. so it never gets that warm, for example, in stornoway — ia degrees here. further southwards, that�*s where the highest temperatures will be. across england and wales, low to mid 20s once again. and for the cricket at edgbaston, unlike the first test, no chance of interruptions. this time around, it stays dry with lots of sunshine. and wales get their european football campaign under way in azerbaijan. it will stay dry with warm sunshine here. now, for the second half of the weekend, the weather�*s going to get even hotter. high pressure building in for most of the uk, although we do have this pesky weather front moving into the far north—west and ultimately, that will bring some rain across the far north—west of scotland. but otherwise, most parts of the country having some long spells of sunshine and for many, it will be very, very warm and feeling really quite humid. 26 degrees in aberdeen. highs reaching 30 degrees in the hottest areas further south. never that warm, though, across the far north—west with that thicker cloud and the rain.
3:57 am
it does mean as england start their european campaign against croatia at wembley, it�*s still going to be pretty warm — 27 celsius — and a warm night will follow. sunday night, these are the temperatures, still, at 11 o�*clock. a warm one for sleeping with those temperatures still well into the 20s. into next week, well, there will be some rain moving in to some northern areas of the uk but it�*ll be still sunny and very warm further south.
