than 5 million cups on the first day. hello. the weather is set to change over the next few days, but in the short term, our september heatwave goes on. some of the clearest of the skies today are in the north of scotland. some spots further south have got a little bit more cloud in the mix, mostly fairly high cloud, but it is turning the sunshine hazy, suppressing temperatures a little in some locations. still, though, seeing highs of 31 in the southeast, but 28 or 29 in parts of the highlands. we could just see the odd sharp shower here late in the day, also for northern ireland. and then through tonight, some showers and thunderstorms could affect south west england and parts of west wales. elsewhere, some patches of cloud a little bit, mist and murk around some clear spells, too, on what will be another very warm night, 13 to 18 degrees as the overnight lows. now for tomorrow, we willjust see a few more showers in the mix, particularly across western and northern parts. in fact, we've got a frontal system that will be trying to push its way
2:57 pm
in towards the far north west of scotland. further south and east, some spells of hot sunshine. this could actually be the hottest day of all, 33 degrees possible in london, a little bit cooler and fresher, though, further north and west. now, with that heat across parts of england and wales through the late afternoon, we could well see some sharp showers and thunderstorms popping up. they will be quite isolated, quite well scattered. but if you do catch one, it could give you a lot of rain in a short space of time. and then actually overnight on saturday night, we willjust see a few more showers and thunderstorms developing. and it is possible that for sunday morning, for the great north run, we could see a few heavy showers, maybe the odd thunderstorm, some sunny spells, too. and perhaps one piece of good news, not quite as warm as it has been, because we will see more showers and some thunderstorms affecting many parts of the uk during the day on sunday. the driest and brightest weather likely to be towards south eastern parts of england where temperatures again could get to 30 degrees, but further north and west,
2:58 pm
21 for belfast, 22 in glasgow. and that is a sign of things to come because into next week we will see something markedly cooler working down from the north, see these yellow and even blue colours pushing across the charts, temperatures back much closer to where they should be at this time of the year. there will be some rain at times and the nights will also be significantly chillier.
