hello there. heat, humidity, and thunderstorms feature in the forecast for some, if not all, of us over the next 2a—a8 hours. the humidity really building across the south and the east of the uk — you can see the deep orange colours developing here. lighter shades further north and west, with some fresher air working its way in. but it's where we have the heat and humidity that we'll start to develop showers and storms pushing up from the south through wednesday night, so through tomorrow night and on into thursday. but in the shorter term, today has been very cloudy across some northwestern parts of the uk with some outbreaks of rain. we'll continue to see cloud and rain across parts of scotland and northern ireland through tonight, the odd heavy burst of rain as the weather front sinks its way in. much of england and wales holding onto clear skies — although for some western coasts, we'll see a cloud, mist, murk, and drizzle developing. quite a mild and, in places, muggy night. temperatures staying in double digits for the vast majority. and into tomorrow, our weather fronts still bringing some rain across southern scotland.
6:58 pm
as that gets down into northwest england and west wales, the rain will turn lighter and patchier. across northern ireland and much of scotland, we'll see sunny spells, we'll be into the fresher air here, just 1—2 showers. quite a brisk breeze across the northwest. further south and east, we will see further spells of sunshine, lighter winds — and that's where the heat and humidity will be building. so, temperatures heading upwards to 29—30 celsius across some parts of southeast england. and where we have that heat and humidity, well, that's where we're expecting some showers and thunderstorms to start to break out through wednesday night, drifting across the channel islands, up across eastern and perhaps central parts of england, they will be quite hit—and—miss, some places could see a lot of rain, others will fall between the showers and stay predominately dry, i suspect. some of those showers may be getting into parts of east wales, as well, rumbling on into places on thursday. further west, we're into the cooler, fresher air, spells of sunshine with temperatures 17 celsius for aberdeen and belfast.
6:59 pm
still some humidity holding on down towards the southeast corner. across the southeast, we could see further pulses of heavy, possibly thundery rain drifting through on friday. but, with higher pressure further west, we'll see more in the way of dry weather here. saturday the dryer day of the weekend for the most, heavy rain likely to return for some on sunday.
