00:00Hello there, welcome to your latest forecast from the Met Office.

00:04And high pressure continues to dominate as we go through the weekend into the beginning

00:09of next week as well.

00:10Though the high pressure centre to the north, it just means there is a keen northeasterly

00:13breeze dragging some low cloud here and also squeezing the ice bars for the next few days

00:18also brings some fairly strong and gusty winds across south-western parts of England, Cornwall,

00:23West Devon in particular gusts of 30 to 40 miles an hour at times.

00:27And I just wanted to show you something a little different to start this broadcast.

00:31And it's pretty hot across much of Europe at the moment as well and we've seen some wildfires

00:36develop across Spain and Portugal and all this is this smoke that's transferring northwards.

00:41So if you noticed a great sunrise this morning or the sky isn't as blue out there at the

00:46moment where it is sunny, you can see the low cloud across northern and eastern parts of

00:50the UK there with that brighter white.

00:52But there is a lot of smoke in our atmosphere at the moment and it will hang around for the

00:56next few days and lead to some enhanced sunsets and sunrises.

01:01So for this afternoon, hazy sunshine across south-west England stretching into Wales, Northern

01:06Ireland here.

01:07But the cloud across central and eastern parts of England should break up as we move through

01:11the day.

01:12Plenty of sunny spells across much of Scotland, breezy for Shetland, perhaps the clouds thick

01:16enough for one or two light showers here.

01:18But a dry afternoon for most of us and temperatures rising in that sunshine, 26, 27, locally 28 Celsius.

01:26But cooler along the east coast where we had that low cloud this morning and then as it

01:31breaks up it will allow some sunny spells.

01:33But the wind is just coming in off the North Sea here so it will be chillier than it has

01:37been of late temperatures in the low 20s.

01:41Through this evening time the cloud continues to melt away.

01:43We see some late sunshine before dusk and it is a dry night to come for most.

01:47And then as we head overnight we'll see the low cloud returning off the North Sea across

01:51eastern parts of England, northeast England as well.

01:54It could be thick enough for some light rain and drizzle.

01:57Northern Scotland also seeing some of that low cloud.

02:00But for many it's a dry night.

02:01Clear spells.

02:02The mist and fog patch is forming where winds are light though it does remain breezy along

02:06southern coast of England into southwest England.

02:09Temperatures overall a little lower than they have been of late so perhaps just a bit more

02:14comfortable for sleeping.

02:16Sunday morning a grey start across eastern and northeastern parts of Scotland, eastern England

02:20here.

02:21Clouds thick enough for one or two spots of light rain and drizzle.

02:24But otherwise plenty of hazy sunshine on Sunday morning and sunshine in abundance for many

02:30days.

02:31As we go through the day with that high pressure still in charge though it does remain quite

02:34cloudy across eastern England.

02:35A few showers pushing in off the North Sea particularly around the wash into East Anglia

02:40coastlines could see a few showers.

02:42Otherwise it's largely dry and in that sunshine again temperatures responding 25 to 27 perhaps

02:49locally 28 celsius quite widely.

02:51So feeling warm still breezy across parts of Cornwall with that breeze coming in off the sea

02:57it will just feel a little chillier here.

02:59And then the North Sea breeze as well under the cloud it will be chilly temperatures struggling

03:0318 to 21 celsius here with one or two showers so it will be a little fresher than it has been

03:09of late.

03:11High pressure looks like it is set to dominate as we go through the end of Sunday into the

03:15beginning of next week.

03:17Initially cloud pushing back in but then it should retreat back to the coast into Monday

03:21as well.

03:22We are just keeping an eye on a few showers perhaps pushing into the far south west through

03:26Monday which could be on the heavy and thundery side otherwise the outlook is largely dry

03:30and settled.

03:32But there is a slow trend down in temperatures initially above average but by the middle of

03:36the week where they should be for the time of year generally the high teens to low 20s.
