kamila sidiqi, i thank you so much for talking to us from bonn, in germany. thank you.ome rain lingering across eastern and northern reaches of uk for the remainder of saturday, but the prospect for the remainder of the weekend and into next week are looking a lot drier and clearer. this is the area of low pressure that brought in the rain on saturday. it will take a while for us to pull these fronts to the east, there will be some late brightness towards the southwest, i think, for wales and perhaps the southeast of england too. look out for isolated thundery showers when we see the sun come out. the heaviest persistent rain will be across northern england and southern scotland through the end of the evening. overnight, most of the rain will clear away. we are left with some lingering cloud in places, a little bit mi5ty and murky wrong coasts and hills. it will be mild and drier. lows of 12—111. here is the promised high of the start of the new week. sunday is the changeover day. we need to get this low pressure away to the east and it will still throw some showers int
