staying in the shade seems to have been the solution. the new fans in the sheep sheds helped, too. it's just too hot, but it's not so bad. like, they've put the new fans in, and there is a breeze, but it's just... it's just not quite enough. after a day of record temperatures in wales, tomorrow should bring cooler, if not quite balmy, weather. and for chloe, at least the heat of the contest ended with a win. hywel griffith, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. of course we all want to know what is likely. of course we all want to know what is likely. here's ben rich. good evening. what has been extraordinary is how widespread the heat has been. 38.2 degrees at

santon downham. close to the all—time record butjosie set a new record today. wales had its hottest day on record and tomorrow for some it's set to be even hotter. we still have this red warning of extreme heat from the met office. a few are hoping to cool down overnight tonight, the temperatures will not help you very much because right now out there a few are heading to bed in the capital, 30 degrees, 22 for belfast and watch this map, normally through the night we expect the orange colours to drain away. they don't. it will be exceptionally warm even as we start tomorrow morning and the reason for that is overhead will be the warmest air mass of this heat wave. we will have some exceptionally hot air right on top of the uk first thing. frontal systems trying to push in from the west, trying to change things so it is where we hold onto that hot air that we have the potential for some

high temperatures tomorrow, particularly in eastern parts. out was the worst, western scotland could see some rain, northern ireland a band of thunderstorms. for some western areas belfast, plymouth it will be a cooler day tomorrow. further east, well up into the 30s, the high 30s and this is a chart i didn't expect to show you because parts of the east midlands, yorkshire, lincolnshire, potentially up yorkshire, lincolnshire, potentially up to 41 or 42 degrees tomorrow afternoon which would obviously be unprecedented. as we go through tuesday night we will see some scattered showers and thunderstorms. another warm night in eastern parts but it will tan pressure from the west. temperatures lower than they have been back closer to where they should be. some sunshine, bit of rain at times but still some heat to come first. thanks, ben. and that's bbc news at ten on monday the 18th july. there's more analysis

survival of lots of different species of animals for our rivers, our waterways and our natural way of life, so i think hopefully the message is finally sinking in, and may be the silver lining for the increases in energy cost is that this may do a lot more for controlling carbon emissions and stopping people from using cars as much many of the tax policies we have been trying to follow would have been trying to follow would have done, because the changes are so extreme, i wish they hadn't been quite so quick and we had more of a smooth transition. but certainly, we need, in my view, to take this issue seriously and urgently reduce and
