you should be of eiffel tower, a misty looking eiffel tower.il monday. lots going on and the first medal of the olympic games, kazakhstan have won bronze in the mixed team air rifle. hello. for many of us, today will be the cloudier day of the weekend. and it's a day where there's a greater chance of some showers around, even a few longer spells of rain for one or two. but by tomorrow sunshine and warmth will develop more widely, looking like a great summer sunday in store. out there today, though, the cloud and the greatest chance of showers comes from this fairly weak weather system that's pushing its way eastwards. hits parts of northern england, wales, the south west. we'll see some of the cloudiest weather through the afternoon. greatest chance of some outbreaks of rain continued, certainly in northern england. a scattering of showers across scotland, northern ireland, fewer than yesterday. but across eastern scotland any that do form could become heavy and thundery. few if any showers towards the south and the east, but even here a bit mo

the eiffel tower, and it's really going to look magnificent.we've got that full opening ceremony coming up at 8:00 tonight. really even starting a little bit before that with that eiffel tower up over 900ft in those fireworks, it's just going to be going off. but of course, the main event is going to be happening right down on the senne river. that's where over 10,000 athletes are going to be cruising along, and about 160 different boats for the parade of nations. so what's going to be happening with the weather, as all of this is going on? well, they did have some rainfall as expected, temperatures in the 60s and a light wind and again, everything going off without a hitch here tonight. now, as we head into that first full week of competition, there is going to be some twists and turns in the weather. we wanted to get you up to date on that tomorrow. we've got more rain chances in 70. we're going to warm it up and dry it out by sunday, 81 and partly cloudy skies. we get into some heat monday and tuesday with some 90s thunderstorms. wednesday a

but also, you know, beach volleyball at this olympics is right at the eiffel tower. so i already envisioned, like a wide shot of, of the athletes, maybe small in the frame with that, with the eiffel tower in the background. so trying to use some of the city as a background, i think it'd be really, really cool. make sure you get us some cool shots of breakdancing. you would actually, and i just heard this not breakdancing. it's breaking, breaking. so yes. so but i do want to do that because one of the things people always ask me, like, what's your favorite sport to shoot? and i always tell them whatever's new. and so i've done a lot of beach, of beach volleyball, a lot of water polo, a lot of swimming, diving, but breaking would be something like i've never done it. so i think that'd be really cool to get that. and this is a very special time for simone biles. obviously, with what happened with her, she had to, you know, focus on her mental well-being. this time she's like, i'm all in. yeah. i was like literally five feet from her when that happened. and i remember be
