now this is fresher air that's arriving off the atlantic. the country during the course of thursday. so no longer is it going to be so warm in the east and the south—east. temperatures here will be closer to say, around 22 or 3 celsius out in the west around 18 degrees, with that atlantic breeze coming in. just a few showers for scotland. here's a look at the end of the week. high pressure is building off the atlantic. this the azores high. showers are kept at bay across france, far away. so it's a day of light winds and sunny spells. really a very pleasant day. and for some of us, a perfect summer's day. neither too hot and not particularly cool either. and the temperatures will be around the high teens across western areas, maybe nudging up to 2a in london for the end of the week. so that's friday. how about the weekend? well, the high pressure is still with us weather fronts are trying to push in, but it's a substantial high so it's keeping things dry. maybe the weather going downhill a little bit with a few showers towards the south and

about a really active atlantic ocean basin.ke a look at this. no tropical development expected in the next seven days and we are in the peak of hurricane season of a season that we had forecasted to be maybe the record-breaking active season because of exactly how warm these water temperatures are. and from what we can tell, there is one reason and that is this dust that comes off of africa and those waves right now, this time of year, they come off of africa are meeting up with that dust and it's tampering down any of the activity that we would normally see. once this changes, we think this will change in about a week where it won't be having as much interaction with this dust. that dust is going to settle and most of the storms will move a little south of where the dust generally is. once that happens, neil, we think things will become very active in the atlantic, but over right now, look at our future forecast here. there are storms out there, but nothing that gets really active or organized and that's amazing to see and it'

atlantic alliances and prevent the escalation of a direct conflict with russia.t this is not only joe biden's program, but it will also be the program of kamela harris. i'm sure. well, i will also remind you that in my speech today, well it wasn't actually today's speech, because of the time difference, it happened late the night before in chicago. so joe biden said in this speech that he was proud of the fact that he once decided four. years ago, even a little more, 5 years ago, to choose kamelo harris as a candidate for vice president, and she did become vice president, well, what if she is elected president of the united states, says joe biden, she will continue to do, and then develop everything what he did too. but donald trump, the candidate for the presidency of the united states of america from the republican party, will not dispute the election results. if he loses on them, but only if he considers the voting to be free and fair, he stated this the day before in an interview with the cbs tv channel, while the 45th host of white. dodoma, who has a good ch

it was not quite as bad as that, the atlantic. but there was a feeling of that. there was a sensibility that our backs to the wall, the future of civilized nation depends on this. so anything goes. so martha gellhorn was absolutely right. they they were, i think, in a vulnerable spot. and you didn't know at any given moment it had the germans that capability, better capability of, attacking ships in the armada. i don't think they would have hesitated to hit the hospital ship, but a hypothetical because they didn't. so anyway thank you very much, everybody.

a cold front is going to sweep off the atlantic. behind it, we've got cooler air.ront, hot air is spreading in from the south. look how hot it's going to be on monday across the north of france — high 30s — and that hot air is going to clip the uk. so, let's see what's happening then early on monday. we've got cool air spreading in off the atlantic, that very hot air spreading out of france. where it clashes, we'll see storms breaking out here in the northwest of the uk. very difficult to pinpoint where they're going to be, but they will be spreading towards the northwest. and the temperatures — around 20 or so in the northwest, but widely into the 30s across england and possibly the mid 30s around london and the southeast. so, a very hot day to come for some of us on monday and the humidity will increase as well — it really will feel quite uncomfortable. now, tuesday, these weather fronts and low pressures basically win. they sweep across the uk and all of that heat will be pushed towards more central and eastern parts of europe. now, there will be still some warm
