when the average is 260, so rain, when the average is 240, so we are not even halfway there and we only have a month of it to go, so inevitably it will end up being a very dry summer here in the uk. we do have and have had a little bit of rain to start august. we had 100 millimetres over parts of cumbria yesterday. it is the south—east of scotland down towards fife and tayside at the moment where it is really wet, and through this evening and overnight, a few bursts of showery rain elsewhere. even though temperatures are quite high overnight, more comfortable for sleeping for many of us, and some remnants grilling out of the way tomorrow, summer sunshine on offer but a scattering of showers which could be heavy and even thundery across the far of scotland. just the odd one elsewhere, but the main thing today, tomorrow is the temperatures are a bit lower, a north—westerly breeze, and without humidity in the south, feeling more comfortable, quite pleasant and that sunshine, which will be with us again into friday, and again a scattering of showers, but not rain

scattered here and there, probably a little bit lighter, 19 to 24 celsius, summer temperature values. that sort of weather would be more comfortable mates and days continues into the weekend, we have more rainfall to come, particularly across scotland winds again, but high pressure, the azores high will keep things very dry, particularly where we need that rain across southern and eastern areas, leaving this weekend most likely in the north and west, and we may see more in the north and west next week, but not further south. clive. thanks, helen. and that's bbc news at six on wednesday 3rd august. you can keep up with all the latest developments on bbc website. the news continues here on bbc one, as now it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. goodnight. welcome to sportsday. i'mjane dougall,

broke the clean and jerk category, finishing with a grand total of 286 kilograms. supreme weightlifting and should plenty of personality following the final lift and she knew the board met her was in the back, she took off her weightlifting belt and swung it around her head much to the delight of the cloud in birmingham. last year, emily campbell became the first teddy make british women to win the gold —— first british woman to win the gold medal. that image is going to stay with me for a long time. how fantastic to see. there's a big night ahead of us in the athletics at the alexander stadium. the men's and women's100 metres final takes place with five time olympic gold medallist elaine thompson herah competing, plus scotland's eilish mccolgan is running in the ten, 000 metres, but before that, england's katarina johnston—thompson is currently leading in the heptathlon with just two events to go, so we will discover if she can put those bad memories

of injuries behind her and take commonwealth gold. 0ur sports news correspondent natalie pirks is there for us. natalie, kjt is in the lead, can she do it? with good question, she is, she was 109 points cleared but she could only finish second because the english compatriotjumped a huge jump english compatriotjumped a huge jump and she finished second fare as you can see now. after 22 point lead in going into the javelin and a half an hour's time, we know that is not her best and from northern ireland, they have dropped on the fifth but she has a thrill that is longer than kjt in there going to the 800 metres was to beckon in 2019 when kjt won

the world championships, two minutes and seven seconds, we have not seen her do anything this rapid as that. where is the personal best is run to 11. do not discount her and should definitely be looking to at least get on the podium this is certainly not yet in the bag for kjt, she had a ruptured achilles, she can only finished eighth in the world championships a couple weeks ago, this is her last event of the season and she will really be hoping to go out with a bang.— out with a bang. possibly the hiuuhliht out with a bang. possibly the highlight on _ out with a bang. possibly the highlight on the _ out with a bang. possibly the highlight on the track, - out with a bang. possibly the highlight on the track, a - out with a bang. possibly the highlight on the track, a big l out with a bang. possibly the - highlight on the track, a big name to look out for me very mentioned her, she will be competing in the women's100 metres. at}! her, she will be competing in the women's100 metres.— her, she will be competing in the women's100 metres. of course, the gi mic women's100 metres. of course, the olympic champion — women's100 metres. of course, the olympic champion elaine _ women's100 metres. of course, the olympic champion elaine thompson | olympic champion elaine thompson from jamaica. jackson and fraser from jamaica. jackson and fraser from jamaica. jackson and fraser from jamaica as well, they are not here, they opted to do the diamond league in poland instead although she is physically shareable will be watching on the television, she is not racing. do not discount the

let's round up some of the other action on day six of these games. england women's captain heather knight has been ruled out of the games with a hip injury. nat sciver will remain team england's captain with knight also missing out on the hundred competition. there were twojudo gold medals for england — jamal petgrave won three home nations in the women's judo — england's emma reid beat defending champion natalie powell of wales in the gold medal match scotland claimed a fourth gold medal of the games thanks after rosemary lenton and pauline wilson triumped in the para pairs bowls. lenton, who at 72 is one of the oldest competitors in commonwealth games history, and wilson beat australia's cheryl lindfield and serena bonnell. and away from the games here in birmingham —

the england women's football team has written an open letter to rishi sunak and liz truss — one of whom will be the next prime minister — calling for every girl to have access to at least two hours of pe a week, and for investment and support forfemale pe teachers. it comes after the lionesses incredible victory at wembley against germany to win the euros. chloe kelly, alessia russo and mary earps have all been speaking to the bbc today. i don't think there's any doubt that there actually should have it on the curriculum. i'm not the one who makes the rules. if you could ask the squad what they would want, it's access to football and schools for young girls. this access to football and schools for young girls-— access to football and schools for young girls. as a girl, you want to be able to — young girls. as a girl, you want to be able to play — young girls. as a girl, you want to be able to play with _ young girls. as a girl, you want to be able to play with boys but - young girls. as a girl, you want to be able to play with boys butjust| be able to play with boys but just want to _ be able to play with boys but just want to be in an environment where you're comfortable and i think that is massive — you're comfortable and i think that is massive for women, no matter what the quality. _ is massive for women, no matter what the quality, people do enjoy playing football _ the quality, people do enjoy playing football slots going play. to be

they feel they're doing it every single game isn't having the required impact in the field of doing it at certain times will have more impact. that's great. and on the back of that, what's happening in the clubs as well. and it printed to the four and taking it for themselves and taking the knee isn't enough and it absolutely is not enough. let's round of some of the day's other sport and... british number one emma raducanu's preparations to defend her us open title got under way with a first—round win over louisa chirico in washington. the 19—year—old came through in straight sets to earn her first win of the north american hard court season. the final of the men's hockey world cup in 2026 would be held at tottenham hotspur�*s stadium if england and wales's joint bid to host the event was successful. it's also been confirmed that over a third of fixtures would take place outside london.

west ham have agreed a fee of 33 and a half million pounds including add—ons for lille midfielder amadou 0nana. he made his belgium debut against the netherlands injune. personal terms are still to be agreed for the 20—year—old player. it's been a turbulent couple of days for formula one team alpeen. 0scar piastri announced last night he will not replace fernando alonso next season — after the team said he would. the 21—year old said the announcement was "wrong" and had come "without my agreement". inga stracke is a motorsport journalist and has been following developments closely. well, we are all waiting to hear from them. but it all has to do with shock announcement when he said he is retiring or staying with martin is retiring or staying with martin

is your thought and then martin moved very fast and announced fernando to move to them. that opened the scene for stracke and the test driver to be a member of the academy since 2019, and the team principles very well respected and said we have the option for 12,023 and ongoing. so, it's notjust matter of the drivers saying if they want to or not, they have a contract. they are currently trying to get a hold of the manager was a former formula 1 driver, another australian. it seems, i think this whole thing may be lost in translation between french and english and maybe it's a misunderstanding what i find very interesting and surprising is that a young driver like 0scar should announce something on twitter or

deny a full teams press release on twitter rather than going in and talking to the team who has been grooming him and supporting them financially and with a lot of time and effort over the last four years. that is another matter. interesting, is said that if this should come to the contract recognition board record, there are other options in one of the options could be another australian to move from mclaren to alpine because rumour has it that piastri has signed a contract with mclaren. the second season of cricket's hunded competition gets under way tonight. despite some big name withdrawals in recent days a host of england and international stars from both the men's and women's game will feature in the competition over the coming weeks. defending champions the southern brave men are taking on the welsh fire in southampton in a few minutes' time. 0ur reporter andrew moon is there for us.
