6:57 pm
that wetter weather swept across the whole of scotland with some more rain to come overnight. heaviest rain earlier on was in northern ireland, but it is drier here tonight. we've got more rain in scotland for a while affecting wales before pushing towards the midlands and eastern parts of england later in the night. temperatures may drop off a little bit in scotland and northern ireland, but it's another warm one for england and wales. warmer than it has been of late towards the southeast. today, we had some high pollen levels in england and wales. it's more restricted to southern areas tomorrow because these areas are more likely to get some sunshine eventually. but we start off quite cloudy with some outbreaks of rain, that'll slowly pull away from many eastern parts of england. they will continue to bring some rain into northern england. rain developing in eastern scotland getting close to northern ireland in towards north wales. to the south, some sunshine could trigger some heavy, thundery showers later in the day. temperatures going to be a bit lower, but as we have seen significantly so in eastern scotland and the northeast of england. here, we have got more rain
6:58 pm
continuing into the evening, a really dismal summers day. and a few more storms breaking out further south across england as well for a while. the weekend, a battle going on, really, high pressure extending all the way across the atlantic to more northern parts of the uk. lower pressure in the south threatening some rain. now, on saturday, most of the downpours are going to be on the other side of the channel. we could pick up a few showers developing in england and wales and still some cloudy, damp, chilly weather across southeast scotland and northeast england. a fair bit of cloud for northern areas, but otherwise dry. probably more sunshine during the second half of the weekend for the northern half of the uk. so temperatures are going to be a bit higher. further south, we've got an increasing risk of catching some heavy, perhaps thundery downpours running across southern england towards wales and the midlands. still a lot of doubt as to how far north that rain will get during sunday.
