# what a beautiful face i have found in this place # that is circling all round the sun # what a beautiful dream that could flash on the screen # in the blink of an eye and be gone from me # soft and sweet # let me hold it close and keep it here with me # me—ee—ee—ee—ee... # and one day we will die # and our ashes will fly... #

hello there. let's take a look at the weather for the week ahead. now, it was another day of contrasts again on friday with a band of heavy rain across the central belt of scotland, also for eastern areas of northern ireland. towards the north of that band of rain, some brightness. towards the south, a lot of sunshine, such as here in bedfordshire. now, towards the south, it is going to feel quite humid this weekend. fresher conditions further north and some rain wherever you are, courtesy, on sunday, of this deep area of low pressure that's going to be pushing its way further northwards and eastwards, and that's going to help to spark off some heavy, thundery downpours. on saturday, a bit of wet weather around as well. possibly a rumble or two of thunder in some of these showers towards the south—west of england. our band of rain further north is gradually fragmenting, it's weakening, but still some showers, i think, for the north—west of england. some brightness across scotland. the best of the sunshine again towards the south—east of england and east anglia with that south—easterly wind just drawing in humid air from the near continent. in the best of the brightness and sunshine, temperatures

could get as high as 26 or even 27 degrees celsius. on saturday night, again, a range of temperatures out there. it's going to feel really quite cool, i think, towards the north of scotland. lows here of around 3 degrees celsius underneath clear skies. but towards the south—east of england, again, in that humid—feeling air, temperatures may not drop much below 16 or 17 degrees, so an uncomfortable night asleep here. and it stays humid in the south on sunday. the humidity, that deep area of low pressure will help to spark off the heavy, thundery downpours that will gradually push further northwards and eastwards throughout the day. mostly dry in eastern scotland, the wind turning more south—easterly as we head throughout the day. again, a range of temperatures. we're hanging on to that humid—feeling air. watch out for some frequent lightning strikes perhaps towards the south as we head through sunday night and into monday. but we're all going to be seeing fresher—feeling conditions into next week. it's a very active week weather—wise with cold fronts pushing eastwards throughout the day on monday. behind the cold fronts, of course, fresher—feeling conditions. but some sunshine ahead of that main rain band and some

sunshine behind it as well but also, a rash of showers, so plenty of wet weather around on monday. we'll stay in that humid—feeling air until we get to the afternoon. towards the south and the east, 21 or 22 degrees celsius. still fresher—feeling conditions digging in behind. and there's plenty of activity out in the atlantic as we head through the rest of the week, some of these systems tied up with the remnants of hurricane lee. let's take a look at tuesday. so, at the moment, we think it's probably going to be quite a showery day. the winds will be strengthening as the second deep area of low pressure starts to approach. temperatures will be a lot closer to the seasonal average — really, the mid to the high teens — so already feeling cooler by the time we get to tuesday but, curiously, on wednesday, it could turn milderagain, particularly in the south — that's because we have got that tropical—feeling air coming through. a deep of low pressure out towards northern ireland, western scotland — some strong, gusty winds here and plenty of showers. these will be the day's highs on wednesday. fresher again towards the north but warmer in the south.

and more showers expected on thursday. again, some very strong, gusty winds. the details of all of this are likely to change as we head through the week but what we do know is that we'll see a return to those fresher—feeling conditions and it will be very wet and very windy at times, particularly out towards the north and the west. so, a very active week. westerly winds. fresher—feeling air. here's the outlook for our capital cities as we head through the week. do keep an eye on the forecast.
