hello. we're certainly ending this working week on a much cooler note than we started it on. temperatures have gradually been dropping over recent days after the heat wave earlier in the week. friday is going to be a cooler day than we've seen recently. some thunderstorms are possible for some areas, but not everywhere. it's going to be seeing outbreaks of rain. now, we start friday morning, mild still in the south, 17 degrees or so farther north, typically 11 or 12 through the day. through the day, then, some showery rain developing, particularly across central parts of england and wales, and that showery rain drifting into parts of northern england and southern scotland. odd rumble of thunder almost anywhere, but most likely probably for the southwest of england into wales as well. northern ireland having a largely dry day with some sunshine and sunshine too for the far north of scotland up towards shetland in particular, temperatures ranging between about 15 to 23 degrees for most of us, a bit of a cooler breeze for the northern isles, eastern scotland and northeast england.

overnight friday, then, we've still got some of the showery rain around drifting its way northwards and eastwards. but the next area of low pressure is going to spread some rain towards northern ireland by the early hours of saturday morning. so temperatures a little bit cooler than recent nights. by first thing saturday, we're looking at the mid—teens for most of us, a little bit cooler than that across parts of scotland. during the weekend, as this area of low pressure approaches from the west, it's going to mean the winds pick up. there'll be some wet weather working in, but ahead of that, it's going to help it draw in this southerly flow of air. so again, some fairly warm air spreading in from continental europe heading up towards eastern parts of england in particular. that's where we'll see some of the highest temperatures through saturday into sunday. so this is how saturday shapes up. then rain initially for northern ireland, then spreading into some western parts of scotland and england as well. central and eastern england probably staying dry with sunny spells all day and temperatures a little bit warmer on saturday compared to what we'll see on friday. so highs the mid to high 205. we've lost that cool breeze from the likes of newcastle for instance, high teens or low 205 for scotland and for northern ireland. by the time we get to sunday,

low pressure spreads further east, so quite a few heavy showers on sunday, could be heavy and thundery towards the northwest. the breeze picking up too, but again, southeast remaining dry for a good part of the day where we really could do with some rainfall around. and it's going to feel warm in the southeast with temperatures as high as around 30 degrees, typically the low 205 towards the northwest. bye for now.
