00:00Very good morning to you. There has been some fairly wet weather overnight and there's still
00:05some heavy persistent rain across parts of Scotland first thing this morning. Watch out
00:09for a bit of flooding, some difficult driving conditions here, even elsewhere some hefty
00:14showery rain around and this is likely to cause a few impacts in some spots. But as
00:19we go into the afternoon, actually things may turn a little bit drier for some of us.
00:24There will still be plenty of showers around, but I think particularly across parts of England
00:28and Wales, a greater chance of seeing something a bit drier, perhaps even a bit brighter.
00:32Even western parts of Scotland and maybe Northern Ireland could see something a little bit drier
00:36and brighter for a time. Watch out for some blustery winds and these will add to the cool
00:41feel to things. Temperatures are several degrees below average for the time of year, mid to
00:46high teen Celsius at best, possibly just about scraping into the low twenties. But yeah,
00:51that is a bit disappointing for this stage in summer. More showers to come as we go through
00:56this evening and they could still be a bit on the heavy side. But overnight, many of
01:00the showers are actually going to ease and clear away and there will then be some clear
01:04skies developing across many parts. Under these clear skies, it's going to be a bit
01:09fresh, especially for the fact that it is July. Temperatures quite widely just about
01:13staying in double digits or falling into single figures in some more rural areas. So a bit
01:18of a fresh start to things first thing on Sunday morning. But in the West here, we already
01:24have some showers developing quite quickly on as we go through the day after a sunny
01:30start across eastern parts. The showers in the West are going to become more widespread,
01:34more frequent. Most of us are going to see some showers at some point. They will be hit
01:40or miss at times, and so not everywhere will necessarily see the heavy downpours. But there
01:45will be some torrential rain around, even a bit of hail, a bit of thunder mixed in with
01:50these and some sunny breaks. But I think it's the showers most of us are going to notice.
01:55The showers could affect play at Wimbledon and they could come during the British Grand
02:00Prix at Silverstone as well. Temperatures are still going to be on the low side. The
02:05winds will be a bit lighter on Sunday compared to today, so it may feel that little bit warmer,
02:10especially if you do get any bright or sunny spells in between those hefty showers. But
02:15on the whole, it is still going to feel a bit disappointing for the time of year. More
02:19showers to come as we go through Sunday evening. They will then largely die out for a time.
02:24And so Monday at the moment looks like it could be largely dry, at least to start off
02:30with before more wet weather arrives as we go through towards the middle part of the
02:34week. And that rain could be heavy at times, too. We are suggesting that temperatures will
02:39pick up. They are several degrees below average for the time of year at the moment, and I
02:43think they're going to rise close to average for a time. How much, how long that slightly
02:48warmer spell lasts, that's where there's some uncertainty. And there may be some drier
02:52weather mixed in with the generally changeable theme next week. As a result, it is worth
02:57staying up to date with our forecasts across our YouTube channel because we want to keep
03:02an eye on exactly how unsettled next week's going to be. Bye bye.
