area of low pressure that's just going to hang around really through the weekend. it means is we start the weekend. it means is we start the weekend, we've got quite muggy air across the south of england, south wales, 15 celsius here. it's cooler air we got in scotland with no showers in the north, 10—11 c. showers in scotland do to become fewer, mind you. a bit of a damp star across wales and the southwest of england, this cloud gradually working its way northwards. more in the way of sunshine across scotland as though stars become fewer, but the cloud will be increasing in northern ireland and northern england, bringing rain and drizzle later on in the day. could be a bit damp still across the north of wales, even across to the north of the midlands into east anglia. but from the south of here, we should get some sunshine through, especially in the southeast of england, temperature is reaching a pleasant 23 celsius, and we could make 19—20 c in the sunshine in the central belt of scotland. that area of low pressure moves slowly into the uk. a few weather fronts on the scene, all pretty weak, mind you. this one here will bring more in the

way of showers, better weather into the northeast of scotland. could be some rain first thing on sunday, moving southwards into northern england. find a brightening along as well across scotland and northern ireland. a few more showers and cloud coming into wales and the southwest. had further east towards the east anglia and the east. for many, temperatures aren't changing much, but it's getting colder and northern scotland. southern europe sees extreme heat through this weekend, could see the pictures reaching 48 celsius will stop by contrast it's a cooler northeasterly breeze heading our way for the start of the new week. probably won't be much rain, we are left with a few showers. probably quite a bit of cloud streaming our way as well, and that colder air that we see in scotland is pushing its way southwards across the uk, so our top temperature 20—21 c in hampshire. as we had further into next week, it's fairly quiet, settled by there, a few showers. a lot of cloud, mind

you, and it's not looking particularly warm for this time of year.
