some heavy showers, because there is low pressure is a most ahead. weather fronts may be moving out of the way from the south and the north, but believe you me, there is a lot of energy in thejuly sunshine. we have that moisture around, and we are seeing some big showers bring up. still longer spells of rain for the north of scotland, so different complexion to yesterday. fewer showers for northern ireland, but probably more making their way is to yesterday. fewer showers for northern ireland, but probably more making their way east across central and eastern parts of england. but wherever you are, there is a fairly blustery breeze blowing, and those showers will be potentially heavy and punditry. temperatures are a notch down on yesterday, and we've lost the humility, but still with us in china, 22 or 23 in the south. —— we lost the humidity. it should be a fresh appeal for those at wimbledon today, but i think there is, certainly still the risk of the shower today, despite the good deal of play. as we go for the evening and overnight, the showers tend to ease up across wales, there is heavy rain pushing its way over northern ireland into the far west of england, and those showers continuing to scotland. we will

rather unsettled for mid—july. goodbye.
