of days yet. but there is one big exception close to some eastern coasts. that was the scene in north berwick for a weather watcher earlier, some low cloud and mist and murk. this stripe of cloud has been generating some showers, some sharp showers and thunderstorms moving across the south—west of scotland, parts of northern ireland, showers continue to drift north. staying murky for some north—eastern coast but for many it will be a story of hot sunshine and temperatures up to around 32 celsius. the north—west highlands up to 28. this heat is quite widespread. through tonight, some mist and murk still close to eastern coasts. showers running across parts of scotland. under clear skies temperatures not dropping far. 14—17. some places may stay a little warmer than that. if you are starting the day across eastern or central scotland tomorrow expect some of the mist and and low cloud also affecting some eastern

counties of england. much of that will tend to burn back towards the coast as the day wears on but if you are along the coast it may stay grey and murky where you are. elsewhere a familiar story with lots of hot sunshine and the small chance of a shower in western areas. temperatures, 29 in parts of northern scotland. 30 or 31 across the south—east of england. things are slowly changing over the weekend. as we go through friday night, the first signs of sharp showers and thunderstorms across the south—west of england. on saturday, some of those developing across many northern and western parts. further south and east, lots of sunshine and this could well be the peak of the heat. 32, maybe 33 celsius. further north and west those temperatures starting to come down a little bit. as we move into sunday, the area of high pressure that has been with us tends to retreat eastwards and in quite a haphazard fashion we see various weather systems start to

swarm from the west. some showers and thunderstorms are sweeping eastwards leaving us with something much cooler into the start of next week. that's it. you can keep up—to—date with all the latest of elements on the bbc website, but the news continues on bbc one as we join our colleagues for all the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday. here is what is coming up. too hot to handle, daniil medvedev is into the semifinals of the us open, but says the conditions could kill someone. it is the women's semifinals later. america's madison keys book to a place in the last four with victory over marketa vondrousova. and another player swap is the premier league for saudi arabia. demarai gray leaves everton for al ettifaq,
