�* the �*the south england, but again for the south it is going to be dry with some clear spells, and quite a warm start to the weekend. typical temperatures 16 degrees by this stage. but we start with a lot of cloud and for northern parts of the uk in particular it is where we will have some rain in the morning. scotland and northern ireland should become drier and brighter, keeping some rain across northern england perhaps into west wales, some low cloud, generally dry to the midlands towards the south—east of england and with some sunshine at times it will still be very warm. those temperatures again “d very warm. those temperatures again up to around 26 or 27. again, like today we have the low 20s in scotland, northern ireland and northern england but we still have this push of cloud coming all the way across the atlantic and that cloud will be picking up overnight into the second half of the weekend. then we have the potential for some

rain. that looks more likely across england and wales. scotland, northern ireland and later northern england becoming drier and brighter. here it will be a little cooler. still warm across southern parts of england. not sure how much rain there will be here and again it will be largely dry. that leaves us finally at wembley where it will be a warm day, it may well be dry and hopefully we have something to celebrate in the evening. thank you very much, darren. that is it from the bbc news at six on friday, the 29th ofjuly. you can of course keep up—to—date with all of those stories hello and welcome to sportsday live from birmingham where the commonwealth games are up and running. coming up on tonight's programme, the big stories from the opening day...
