and chris fawkes has all the details.e, we are talking about extreme heat building across the uk, temperatures reaching 33.5 celsius in london, temperatures continuing to rise. it looks like being one of the hottest august days we have seen in overa the hottest august days we have seen in over a decade, these are some recent august temperatures but the final temperature, much depends on this lump of cloud working across the channel at the moment. if that comes into london it. temperatures from rising much further and 36 degrees could be the highest temperature but if that cloud stays awake long enough i would not be surprised if we saw temperatures even higher than 36 but either way it will be very hot and humid this afternoon across england and wales. northern ireland and scotland cloudier and fresher, temperatures into the low 20s with rain around as well. this weather front pushing through the afternoon and into the first part of the night. further south, after such a hot day, these aren't the minimum temperatures but

now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. hello there.ne of these. yes, a waterspout that formed out in the bristol channel, and this was seen by a number of our weather watchers, actually, from north somerset. it was also spotted around the newport area of south wales as well. that was all associated with this low pressure that's across northern france. we can see an occlusion. this band of cloud here that brought some thunderstorms across eastern england, and they were torrential. 28 mm of rain on sunday fell in bedford. looking at the weather picture at the moment, this system, essentially, is going to split into two bits, with this branch not really making much progress further north. that means the rain will continue to affect greater manchester, lancashire, merseyside along with wales for a time, before easing later in the night. it won't really push that much farther north. that means the far north of england, northern ireland and scotland stay largely dry over the next few hours, but with low cloud, there'll be some and fog patche

now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. storms and does could turn out to be slow—moving, one area will have to keep a close watch on. another humid day, top temperatures again moving well into the mid 30s across the south—east. overnight tonight, further storms for eastern scotland, one or two across england and wales, leaving north—eastwards of time, some are again bringing torrential rain, lots of thunder and lightning, and another hot night for heading to bed, temperatures still up heading to bed, temperatures still up at 27 at 11 o'clock. tomorrow, one batch of storms clears northward from scotland and england and wales, a much greater chance of seeing some thunderstorms, particularly late in the day, some of these will bring torrential bursts of rain with the risk some localised flash flooding. this is bbc news, i'm ben brown. the headlines: the number of people in work falls by the largest amount in over a decade, more evidence of the impact of the lockdown. obviously what we want to see is a return to economic vital

now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. hello, there.e have seen widespread thunderstorms across england and wales through sunday afternoon and some of them have been quite spectacular. look at this! out in the bristol channel, view from portishead, north somerset, yes, a waterspout. and further east, we have had some torrential downpours across east anglia, working in across the midlands and lincolnshire, these storms will continue westwards into wales. perhaps around the merseyside kind of area as well. these storms are capable of bringing 30 or a0 millimetres of rain in the space of an hour, so there is the risk of seeing some flash flooding and transport disruption, we have already seen a bit of that. through the rest of the night, quite murky conditions around coasts and hills, a few patches of drizzle, mild temperatures, 13 to 16 degrees for most and then tomorrow, for england and wales it is another day of bright spells. a bit of sunshine and then heavy showers and thunderstorms, those thunderstorms again are capable of bringing s
