so i stay here. hello there. after what we had on friday, it's hard to believe that this june could be the warmest on record. across north yorkshire, temperatures were around 16 degrees in the afternoon. some other parts of the country were colder still. we're going to find more sunshine, though, over the weekend — the start ofjuly — in this clearest slot with the thicker, lower cloud moving away, taking the rain away as well. we're going to be left with more of a north—south

split this weekend with the sunnier, warmer weather in the south, the showers continuing further north. we'll have some stronger winds as well. could be a cloudy start for many but we'll see the showers in the midlands, the south—east moving away. sunnier skies developing in the south but sunshine and showers will continue in scotland, northern ireland, and also northern england. frequent showers in the north and west of scotland, where it will be quite windy and it may feel still rather chilly but we could make 18 degrees this time in scotland and northern ireland. 23 or 24 in the south—east, so a bit warmer than it was on friday. and for the cricketers, well, there could be one or two showers left over for the start of play. otherwise, it looks like it's going to be dry with some sunshine. little bit breezy out there, mind you. and the winds, if anything, coming back all the way from iceland and greenland, so it's never going to be particularly warm. and that low pressure sitting close to scotland will keep it windy and wet in the far north of the mainland. more showers, though, to come on sunday across other parts of scotland, the odd one continuing in northern ireland, northern england. but for wales, the midlands, southern england, it should be

a dry day. plenty of sunshine here. the winds may not be quite as strong on sunday but, if anything, those temperatures could actually be a degree or so lower. now, heading into the beginning of the new week and that low pressure heading towards scandinavia keeps some windy weather, though, going across scotland. that weather front there continuing to feed rain into northern scotland. more showers coming into the rest of the country. and whilst england and wales may start dry, northern ireland, too, we could see some showery rain moving in here from the west and that could arrive later on in the day at sw19 for the start of wimbledon, where temperatures are going to be around 21 degrees, so not a particularly warm start to the week ahead. it's going to take a while for the temperatures to rise — they may not rise a great deal, mind you — and it's still unsettled over the week ahead with showers or longer spells of rain, particularly in the north and the west.
