8:56 pm
morning in western scotland. some rain across the lake district, leaden—looking skies from time to time throughout the day as well. and there's more rain to come through the night. so this has been the story, then. we've seen that cloud and rain easing away, becoming light and patch, but there's some more significant rain which will gradually drift its way across scotland during the early hours of saturday morning. with a south—westerly flow driving in quite a lot of low cloud, it's going to be misty and drizzly at times along those west—facing coasts, but it will be warm — temperatures sitting at around 15 or 16 degrees. so a mild and increasingly humid start to the weekend. that cloud will tend to lingerfor a time, particularly on west coasts, and we could see a few scattered showers. but eventually the sunshine's strong, it'll punch holes through the cloud. and with that, temperatures will start to respond as we go through the day. so we're expecting highs of around 29, possibly 30 degrees by the middle of saturday afternoon. a warmer day for all of us. now, as we move through saturday night, however, those temperatures are not going to fall away at all.
8:57 pm
we lose the russet tones, but nevertheless, temperatures are still likely to sit into the mid to high teens potentially first thing on sunday morning, so a pretty uncomfortable night for getting a good night's sleep. a humid start to sunday morning, and with high pressure drifting east, we tap into that humidity from the near continent. but at the same time, with a weather front pushing in from the atlantic, where the two are likely to meet, we could start to see some sharp, thundery downpours developing on sunday. so we need to keep a close eye on that. not everyone will see them, but some of them really could be quite heavy, torrential rain. but at the same time, we still got that heat and humidity. again, temperatures potentially peaking at around 30 degrees. now, as we move out of sunday into the early half of next week, as that frontal system eases away, it's going to introduce fresher conditions and more frontal systems pushing in from the west. so with this westerly feed of air, it will be cooler at times, a little fresher anyway. showers or longer spells of rain as well.
