“p up as high as 15 temperatures up as high as 15 degrees. you can see how warm it is compared with normal across europe in south west france, temperatures 30 degrees today. look how it changes in time for the weekend, things will be feeling a little cooler. let's look at the radar over the past three hours, that heavy rain moving across scotland, this is where we see the rain. in the south west, that rain then moves through the midlands. across the south east into lincolnshire. the worst of that rain should be out into the north sea by the end of the night. many places become dry with breaks in the cloud. south—westerly winds, that's why it is so mild today, and why it is so mild overnight, 6 degrees in the north and lows of ten in the south. rain to clear away from northern england and southern scotland, then it is a case of sunny spells and also showers. these develop more widely through the midlands and eastern england, there could be hale and thunderfrom midlands and eastern england, there could be hale and thunder from the early part of the afternoon. a warmer day in scotland, they could

make 60 degrees in aberdeen. across central and eastern england, if you mist those showers, temperatures could reach 16 or 17 degrees. but we have an area of low pressure bringing wet and windy weather after dark overnight and into friday. strongest winds across northern parts of france, but through the channel and along the south coast of england and south wales, winds up to 50 or 60 mph overnight and into the early part of friday morning before they ease. wet weather overnight, that becomes more patchy and showery. further north, some sunshine perhaps. but also a few showers. still very unsettled. temperatures are going to be lower, typically 11 to 30 degrees by friday. heading into the weekend, those temperatures continue to just drop away a little bit, but it should be turning much drier. thanks, darren. from the six team, it's goodbye.
