hello there. there have been some fairly big weather contrasts across the uk today. across western areas we've had some thicker cloud bringing outbreaks of rain. some wet weather near the belfast area earlier on today, but it's not that has been one of the features forjuly. that has barely been a drop of rain. although there is some rain in the forecast, the majority of it as a cross of western areas, there will be little if any rain reaching parts of east anglia and south—east england over the next few days, where it has been particularly dry. on a saturday, we did have some pulses of rain, turning heavily

towards the end of the day in western scotland. the air of pressure responsible will feed up some pretty soupy area. it will be shimmied into sunday, some high temperatures for eastern england. across the north and west, we have got the rain. it will be heavy 4 times for errors of northern ireland and western areas of scotland. 3 south—east of that, it is dry with some warm spells of sunshine. temperatures will be higher than they were on saturday across the board. quite a bigjump they were on saturday across the board. quite a big jump up and temperatures in aberdeen. the hot is when that will be across east anglia, where we are looking at heights of up to 30 celsius. sunday evening and into overnight, a little bit of rain but nothing particular to was east anglia and south—east england. further pulses of rain for scotland and northern ireland. those

north—westerly winds are a result of the seed of low pressure are slowly transferring eastwards. the north—west will start to drop the temperatures towards monday. it could be a wet start to the day in northern scotland, it may be some of that wainscoting down into north—east england. a few showers around, quite a bit of dry weather it was some sunshine, and temperatures down. generally high teens for scotland and northern ireland. beyond that through the rest of the week, high pressure is going to be in charge. i think day by day we won't notice there is temperatures tending to rise, but there will be somewhat low pressure system is working towards the north—west of the country threatening rain at times. tuesday's weather, by and large a dry kind of day. cloud develops into the afternoon, if you shall listen to the north—west of the uk.

temperatures quite near average, 23 in london isn't part of what we should see for this time of year. high pressure hang on for parts of england and wales. should stay dry for newcastle. there will be some rain around, particularly towards the end of the week. the rule of thumb is that the further south you come, the drier the weather gets. now is temperatures will be climbing, it will become very warm towards the end of the week. bye for now. hello, i'm olly foster — here's what's coming up on sportsday this evening. putting years of injury behind him — matt hudson—smith reveals the mental struggles he's battled to finally make it onto the podium at a major event.

andy, 400 metre bronze for hudson—smith, but it felt like gold after everything he's been through. that's right, yes. purely from an athletics perspective, it was a brilliant performance from matt hudson—smith, that when you bear in mind all the personal struggles he has been free to get here, it really was some performance. it was some final, it was won by michael norman of the us, behind him the former olympic champion. but behind both of them matt hudson—smith held off his rivals down the home straight to take the bronze medal. you can see just what it meant to him. he won the european title back in 2018, but since then he has had a string of serious injuries. he has been in doubt, he has suffered from mental health issues. he reviewed at one point last year he even attempted to

take his own life. afterwards, he spoke about everything he has been through. i spoke about everything he has been throu~h. ., �* ~' spoke about everything he has been throu~h. ., �* ~ , .,, spoke about everything he has been throu~h. ., �* ~ , ., , through. i don't think people really know the half _ through. i don't think people really know the half of _ through. i don't think people really know the half of it. _ through. i don't think people really know the half of it. it's _ through. i don't think people really know the half of it. it's been - through. i don't think people really know the half of it. it's been a - know the half of it. it's been a world — know the half of it. it's been a world wind _ know the half of it. it's been a world wind these past few years, achilles — world wind these past few years, achilles tendon tears, hamstring tears. _ achilles tendon tears, hamstring tears. a — achilles tendon tears, hamstring tears, a lot of mental health issues — tears, a lot of mental health issues. it's been mad. i don't think i've even_ issues. it's been mad. i don't think i've even scratched the surface. this _ i've even scratched the surface. this is _ i've even scratched the surface. this isjusl _ i've even scratched the surface. this isjust a beginning fish that i've this isjust a beginning fish that i've got— this isjust a beginning fish that i've got the monkey off the bat, the british— i've got the monkey off the bat, the british record, i've got another monkey— british record, i've got another monkey off the back, which is getting — monkey off the back, which is getting a _ monkey off the back, which is getting a world medal. now it is pushing — getting a world medal. now it is pushing on from here and keep on going _ it's been such a good championships for the us, they won't be caught at the top of the medal table, nine golds so far, and sydney mclaughlin's was very special. it was at the performance of these championships, probably the

performance of any championships. sydney mclaughlin has been setting world records for fun over the last couple of years, she only sent her previous world record last month here in eugene. she absolutely smashed that world record in front of a county about nearly three quarters of a second, 50.68 seconds. an event of pretty fine margins, thatis an event of pretty fine margins, that is something truly extraordinary. the noise here inside the stadium when she crossed the line was the noisiest we have heard at any point during the championships. it will be interesting to see what she does next. she hinted after her win it she might stop doing the 400 metre hurdles because she had done everything that is to achieve in this event, and she may instead run at the 400 metres flat. so those athletes better watch out. the morning session isjust getting going, andy, and a few finals coming up tonight. what should we be looking out for?

plenty. the decathlon is getting under way at the moment. we have the final of the sprint relays, both the men's and women's events will stop now for britain? men's and women's teams qualify for their final. the women's team look particularly impressive. they rested dina asher—smith yesterday so that should make them even stronger when she comes back. the bad news is that you rested all three of the medallists from the 100 metres, so they are going to be very tough to beat. —— the bad news is jamaica rested. the men's ability to improve. it is also the final of the women's 5000 metres. ~ . , the final of the women's 5000 metres. , ., ~ , the final of the women's 5000 metres. ., ~ ,, england's women had already won their multi—format series against south africa, but didn't take their foot off
