00:00Hello there, welcome to your Wednesday evening weather update from the Met
00:04Office. Today we saw the highest temperatures of the year so far across
00:08the bulk of the UK. We hang on to that hot and humid air across central and
00:13southern areas through Thursday, whereas further north you can see some blues
00:17migrating southwards. That's behind a cold front which will weaken all the
00:21while. At the same time some showers likely in the south. Now through Friday
00:25high pressure extends from the Atlantic so a cooler air mass into the weekend
00:30the chance of some showers but also some brighter weather. Now through this evening
00:35it's very warm outside, a pleasant evening to come. Notice one or two mist and fog
00:40patches possible through the night as this band of cloud and also some
00:44showery rain makes inroads across Scotland as well as Northern Ireland. The air
00:48behind it is cooler. One or two showers lurking down towards the west country as
00:52well. But really it's the temperatures of note as we head through the early hours
00:56of the morning. It's going to be a muggy night across England and Wales as well as
01:01Northern Ireland. So uncomfortable for some as we enter the day on Thursday.
01:06Fresher though towards the northwest. So let's pick up on that cloud and also that
01:11showery rain first thing. One or two heavier pulses can't be ruled out. Fairly
01:15sporadic though as it pushes towards southern Scotland, reaches the southeast of
01:18Northern Ireland as the cloud breaks behind it and then that front will weaken all the
01:23while. At the same time strong sunshine across England and Wales. High or very
01:28high levels of pollen as well. That's tree pollen and through the afternoon once we
01:32hit those highest temperatures we can see those homegrown showers developing
01:37scattered across England and Wales but with the risk of thunder. Now here are your
01:42temperatures through the afternoon. 29 Celsius across the southeast of England
01:47making it the hottest temperature recorded this year so far and still very warm if not
01:52hot across the bulk of England and Wales. Mid Wales coming in at 28. Now for
01:56Northern Ireland temperatures falling away relative to today. That's Wednesday through
02:01Thursday probably 15 or 16. Hanging on to 18 for the central belt of Scotland but much
02:06fresher towards the northwest of Scotland with a keen breeze. Towards the west
02:11country then yes you'll see 24, 25 Celsius for southern parts of Wales. So still very warm
02:17if not hot as we start the evening time on Thursday as this very weak weather front tends to fade away
02:23across the North Sea. And then through Thursday into Friday yes again some higher temperatures across
02:29southern parts of England and Wales but fresher elsewhere and certainly that really sets the scene
02:34for the weekend. Through Friday there'll be some fine weather about if not some sunshine. A few
02:39scattered showers towards the north with a keen breeze and notice a bit more cloud moving in
02:44across central and southern parts of England and Wales but temperatures coming in around 25, 26 degrees
02:49Celsius here. Now on Saturday the chance of some showers in the south as well as in the north
02:55with a mix of clouds and sunshine in between central zones seeing some fine weather as well as some fine
03:00conditions. So all in all the weekend doesn't look too bad at all it does look fresher but for more
03:05details and the 10 day trend check out our YouTube channel this week it's with Alex Deacon. See you later.
