the bbc‘s nick miller gave us an update on the storm's progress.here hurricane has been upgraded from a category three to a category four. the latest advisory has maximum sustained winds right near the centre of this hurricane, 125 mph. there will be stronger gusts associated with that as well. so clearly it's a very powerful hurricane in terms of strength. but it's not just the wind that matter. we heard about some of the other features. you get the wind speed, which is how hurricanes are categorised. you also have the storm surge, the amount of water above normal tide level, which will come into the coastline around this hurricane. we are talking several feet above normal tide levels. that process is already under way. so that inundation of the coastline through that higher level of water is already taking place. so you've got the storm surge, but you've also got how much rain will come out of this. 0ne metre of rainfall, that's extraordinary, especially for hurricane. especially for a hurricane. it's a huge amount and the reason for that is it s

the weather now with nick miller. hello.images from saturday. it was often cloudy, but there were some warm sunny spells coming through. most places stayed dry. one or two isolated showers. this finger of high pressure that has moved in across the uk will keep most places dry for part two of the weekend, during sunday. it won't be all clear blue sky — there could just be a few spots of drizzle around, north wales, north western england, and a lot of cloud feeding into scotland, northern ireland, and north—west england. elsewhere, the cloud will break and some sunny spells will come through. again, while most places will be dry, there is a weather system close to north—west scotland — the thickest clouds here, more breeze. some patchy outbreaks of rain especially into south wales. most of us into the mid—20s. we are looking fine at the test match at headingley. there will be some sunny spells coming through that cloud, a bit more breeze by monday. for the notting hill carnival, glorious weather. temperatures head up even furt

worth every penny, nick miller with the weather.

0ur weather presenter nick miller is making an early appearance to explain.how little harvey has moved since making landfall. that means it's dumped most of its rain on the same part of texas. 0ften hurricanes pick up speed as they head inland before dissipating. let me take you back to 2005, the year of course of katrina and hurricane rita — the last major hurricane to affect texas. just two days after hitting the coastline, look how far inland had it got. yes, it produced flooding rain but not in any one place for any long period of time. now compare that with harvey — from landfall last friday night to now — it's merely meandered along the coastline towards louisiana. why? because the wider weather pattern across north america has served to keep it there rather than move it inland. some people will say it is climate change in action? you can't point at one storm and say that's down to climate change, but climate scientists do say that a warming world increases the likelihood of extreme rainfall events and warmer ocean waters also favour stronger hurricanes

worth every penny, nick miller with the weather. there's more rain around today.e squeezing out rain before the month is done. today is the last month is done. today is the last month of what meteorologists call summer, so month of what meteorologists call summer, so provisional statistics show some overall has been wetter than average. it's been a cool august. but then again, june was quite warm. they are a bit offset. overall it wood looks like summer will turn out to be slightly warmer than average but more mediocre than marvellous memories of summer 2017. today, we are dodging the downpours. we are certainly seeing some really heavy thundery downpours out there, slow—moving and light winds. they tend to stick around. some fairly warm sunny tend to stick around. some fairly warm sunny spells in between. as we go through the afternoon, late afternoon and evening, or western scotla nd afternoon and evening, or western scotland and northern ireland, most showers will start to fade. some hefty ones in north—east england at the moment, some will continue. they've ea

here's nick miller.t more rain out there with big storms around but also a splash of colour in the skies with rainbows. there are still some thunderstorms across eastern parts of england but after dark the storms and showers fade away quickly, and going into september we have a chilly start because temperatures will dip away under clear skies. lower than this away from towns and city centres, even low single figures in some and places. after the sunshine, showers will break out but many places will avoid them and stay dry, that will be the case across scotland and much of northern ireland. across northern england there could still be some slow—moving thundery downpours but even here there will be some places that stay dry. looking into the west and wales, lots of dry weather to be found here and it is still pleasa ntly warm found here and it is still pleasantly warm when the sun makes an appearance. that's friday for you. saturday is fine, but sunday has rain coming in. that's all from the bbc news at si

there could be a medal too for nick miller in the men's hammer.ke the final in rio but he made it through qualifying here on wednesday night with a throw of 75.52m, that saw him finish in 7th place. he said he wasn't fully fit when he competed at the olympics last year but reckons he's at full fitness now. i think the preparation has been great. we had a camp in paris, the tea m great. we had a camp in paris, the team atmosphere was very good, all the stuff and athletes joking, just a nice environment. i always think qualification is more nerve—racking than the file. once you get into the final you relax, you know that you are there. —— than the final. final you relax, you know that you are there. -- than the final. it's going to be a busy night tonight. one other men's event to look out for tonight, the men's 1500 metre semi finals. two british athletes made it through last night's heats — jake wightman and chris 0'hare. wightman actually did very well, qualifying ath fastest, while 0'hare was down in 1ath. wightman also won a diamond league even

urban weather could one day help to narrow forecast down for whole cities to individual streets as nick millertains because of drought. wildfires spread in spain as it spreads to the balkans. 0ur cities see the highest averages in heatwaves due to the urban effect. massive man—made materials can absorb heat and it keeps towns and cities 12 degrees warmer than the surrounding countryside. now from the university of wedding had kitted out london rooftop with a range of equipment to find out how the urban environment impact our weather. including infrared cameras like these to reveal how temperatures va ry these to reveal how temperatures vary depending on the surface such as concrete, brick or. the basic temperatures which look down straight at the surface which means they have preferential view of the reef and ground surfaces as opposed to all surfaces. i'm doing a ground roofing exercise with lots of measurements from different angles to build up a complete picture so these are really important for evaluation and input. the different services across the city all heat the air above them differe

earlier, our weather presenter nick miller gave us this update on the pa rt miller gave us this updated windy along the coastline in texas, but things are only going to get worse. gusts around a0 mph, but we will increase the sustained wind and gusts as a get closer to landfill which is expected to be either this evening or the earlier hours of saturday local time in texas. there are several elements of this. we talk about the wind speed. currently sustained wind of 110 mph close to the centre of this powerful hurricane. it is expected to strengthen to a major storm. we heard mention of the storm surge and the flooding. the storm surge of the higher than normal amount of water that will pile on the coastline into areas that would normally be expected to be dry. the rainfall numbers are quite staggering. he said 30 inches of rainfall is expected widely. there could be up to 35 inches of rainfall. that is 900 millimetres of rain. i will put that in context. that is expected between now and next wednesday. that's a little bit more than the annual rainfall average in manchester, which some
