this sort of weather at the moment. we have seen more cloud in scotland and northern ireland, and there's a bit of rain to come tonight in northern scotland, some patches of rain later on in the western side of the country. otherwise it's going to be dry and largely clear, temperatures could be dipping to eight or nine in some rural areas, but it will be milder in scotland with the cloud and a breeze still blowing, and that will continue to blow in some cloud and pockets of rain and drizzle into western parts of the country on sunday. much drier, brighter and warmer for eastern areas. some cloud, some sunshine at times for northern ireland, the far north of england, the rest of england and wales again bathed in sunshine. may get some sea breezes developing, but inland temperatures continuing to rise, perhaps to 28 degrees in the south east and maybe a touch warmer than today in scotland and northern ireland. but it's across england and wales the heat is going to continue to build. heatwave conditions into next week, temperatures possibly to the mid—30s.
