hello. over the next two or three days, there is a pretty good chance of catching some rain, but be warned, the storms could be quite severe in some places, with the potential for gusty winds, flash flooding and large hail. but there will be variations, and just down the road, you may miss the storms altogether with just a few drops of rain or hardly any rainfall at all. the storms will be coming in from south, and low pressure is very close to the uk right now. this will help to spin up some of the storms over the next couple of days, but already today, some storm clouds developing across parts of ireland, and some of them could clip western parts of northern ireland, and here too, the storms locally could be severe, bringing torrential downpours and very large hail in places. maybe even a couple of centimetres with gusty winds too. elsewhere, it is hazy skies, warm,
1:55 pm
with just a scattering of showers across the rest of the uk. now, the morning temperatures on the muggy side. in many areas, it will be around the mid—teens. the coolest spots in newcastle about ten celsius. so where will storms form tomorrow? the bulk of them, and remember, very well scattered, meaning big gaps of fine weather in between, that will be across england and wales. if these do occur, they could bring as much as 30 millimetres of rain in a short space of time. say, within an hour. in a few hours, especially later on into the day and into the evening hours, it could be as much as 60 millimetres, which could lead to some flash flooding locally. the indication is that most of the heavy storms will be a little bit further to the north, and across northern parts of england. so, this is where the most amount of rainfall potentially could fall. through the course of monday,
1:56 pm
we'll see some heavy rain for a time across eastern parts of scotland, it really could be very wet here for a time. then through the day on monday, we'll have a scattering of showers, but also plenty of fine sunny weather. staying on the warm side. you can see those temperatures, 2a there in newcastle. around 25 in norwich. we no longer have the heatwave, but those temperatures are still a little above the average for the time of the year, and that weather is a lot more mixed, with a few more rain clouds there on the horizon. goodbye.
