different countries. andy swiss, sports correspondent, was at the parade and sent us this report. well, what a night it's been for the manchester city players behind me on that stage, and what a night it's been for fans as well — although there has been a very soggy celebration because, shortly before the parade was due to start, they announced it was going to be delayed for half an hour because of thunderstorms. we have had torrential rain over the course of the parade, but it hasn't stopped the fans arriving in their thousands to cheer on the players. they've been hanging off lamp posts, they've been hanging off bus shelters, trying to get a glimpse of the manchester city players. but what a season it has been for this club. first they won the premier league — their fifth premier league title in six seasons — then the fa cup, that win over manchester united in the final, and then finally, that unforgettable win at the weekend.

of the philippine institute of volcanology and seismology. it started spewing last week, but evacuations only began over the weekend. that's all we have, bye for now. hello there. it was a busy old start to our working week — hot and humid for all of us. in fact, it was the warmest day of the year so far, with some late afternoon sunshine across northern ireland, a hot day across southern scotland and, as you can see, in north wales as well, temperatures in the high 205. northwest england saw a high of 31 degrees as well. that heat and humidity helped to trigger off some sharp, thundery downpours, and you can see in cheshire, the threatening—looking skies, those thunderstorms that threatened to spoil the parade in manchester. now, we had over a couple of inches of rain in highland,

scotland from those storms. they were quite widespread with over 7,500 lightning strikes at one point through the middle part of the afternoon. the showers have eased away, but it's still quite a mild start to the day. tuesday morning seeing temperatures into the mid—teens first thing, into the mid—teens first thing. there'll be plenty of early—morning sunshine to look out for as well. but there will be a change to come — alittle bit more cloud just clinging on to the isles of scilly and maybe cornwall, and a few isolated showers, just a few across england and wales — these shouldn't be thundery either. we should see some sharp thundery downpours perhaps into the west of northern ireland and the far northwest of scotland. but in comparison to monday's weather, it won't be quite as widespread that rain, and it'll still be quite warm. yes, the northern isles, a little cool and cloudy, but 21—27 degrees in scotland, 25 in northern ireland and generally the high 205 across england and wales. now, through the rest of the week, it's going to start to gradually feel less humid.

we keep a lot of dry and sunny weather, though. the reason why we're losing that humidity is the position of the high. the wind direction swings round from a southeasterly to a light easterly direction, so it's not going to produce some cloud coming in off the north sea like we had around a week ago. it's still going to keep a lot of fine dry weather, but there is a risk of a little bit more cloud into eastern scotland, and maybe some cloud lingering across south west england as well. but look at the temperatures — still slightly above the average for the time of year. generally around 21—27 degrees the high, that's the 805. and this dry, settled, sunny theme continues right throughout the week and largely into the weekend. just a slim chance of some rain and from monday onwards. from monday onwards.
