through the course of the weekend. let's have a look at the satellite picture — and you'll soon see the sun setting over the storm clouds here out towards the south. initially, these storms will be very well—scattered, so not many of us will actually get them. but it's that humid air to the south that'll start arriving, ithink, friday night into saturday, and then through sunday. that'll also keep the nights really balmy, so some pleasantly warm evenings on the way, too, but quite sticky at night. so here's the forecast early on friday morning — cloudy skies across eastern scotland, eastern and central england. but out towards the west, it's sunshine, could be a few showers, maybe the odd thunderstorm across the southwest of england early in the morning. and then, through the afternoon, it's pretty much what we've had in the last few days — so the cloud burns back to the coast, and just a few coastal strips there, hanging onto that cloud through the course of the afternoon, where it will be a little on the cool side. so maybe only 14 in newcastle

and aberdeen, out towards the west, it's sunny and warmer, temperatures could be nudging up into the mid—to—high—20s in 1—2 spots on friday. then, friday night into saturday, this is the weather map, a weather front approaching — that'll spark off a few showers and thunderstorms during the day on saturday. starts off really sunny everywhere, but then, that risk of storms i think across parts of england and wales. some of the storms will bring torrential downpours, hail, and gusty winds — but very localised, and many of us will miss it altogether. temperatures low—to—mid—20s, high—20s in 1—2 spots — we could nudge up to 30 on saturday, which will be a little too hot for some. then saturday evening, look at that, at 10pm, temperatures could still be in the high teens, perhaps even in excess of 20 celsius in bigger towns and cities. this is sunday's forecast — lots of sunshine right from the word go, and then, that increasing risk of showers and thunderstorms across some western areas. how about the temperatures? again, typically in the mid—to—high—20s, so warm enough for most of us. bye— bye.
