1:56 pm
thunderstorms through parts of the midlands and eastern england as well. warm in the sunshine again today. temperatures widely the low to mid twenties and could make 28 degrees in the south east of england. those showers that do develop shouldn't last too long this evening. they'll fade away and it'll be dry for a while. but then as we head further into the night, we're going to find cloud coming in from the atlantic. that'll bring some rain into northern ireland, push the cloud over the irish sea heading into western scotland as well. quite a warm night tonight, but there are warmer and more humid nights to come as we head into the weekend. this is the picture, though, on friday. and that rain clears northern ireland to be followed by some sharp showers, some rain pushes into scotland, into northern england and across wales. many sheltered eastern areas may well be dry and through much of the midlands towards the southeast we should see more sunshine around here. and this is where we'll see the highest temperatures around the mid twenties in the south east of england under the cloud and some rain at times further north and west temperatures will be a bit lower
1:57 pm
and temperatures may be a bit lower for the women's ashes cricket at trent bridge, day two. of course it should be dry though this time, even though there will be quite a bit of cloud around and there'll be quite a cloudy start. i think for many of us to start the weekend, we will see the overnight rain clearing away in just a few showers around, mainly drifting northwards across scotland. the cloud should tend to thin and break and that will allow it to get warmer temperatures into the mid twenties for scotland and northern ireland and could be close to 30 degrees in the south east of england. so it's getting hot on saturday. it's also getting really quite humid as we draw this humid air, this muggy airfrom continental europe ahead of this weather front, which will eventually bring a change in the weather that's going to bring some heavy rain and some thunderstorms into northern ireland and then through the day towards scotland, wales and some western parts of england. staying dry until late in the day for eastern areas. here, it's still going to be very muggy. temperatures could be 30 degrees
