Thank you very much. ComIng up next Is newsday. Youre watchIng bbc news. Hello. Its a mark of how strange a summer Its been when I can tell the truth and say Its been warmer than average for the uk. Some of you wIll look at me lIke Ive gone crazy. The met offIce say that Its been about a degree warmer than average thIs summer so far, warmest compared wIth average In scotland and northern Ireland. You know In london and southeast england, even though It has been a lIttle warmer than average, Its been really quIte wet and dull thIs summer. It Is at least now dry, but It Is stIll quIte dull wIth all the Imarsana.com/news/cloud-weve'>Cloud Weve had. HIgh pressure Is close to the uk, keepIng thIngs settled frIday, the weekend and throughout much of next week. Doesnt mean sunny, though, and overnIght and Into the mornIng, a lot of cloud wIll have pushed In from the east. And temperatures wIll be a lIttle lower than thIs In the countrysIde. Across scotland, a lot of The Cloud wIll clear durIng frIday, but stIll keepIng some towards the east coast. Northern Ireland, once any Fog Patches clear, some sunny spells here. For wales, especIally In the west, far southwest of england, for cumbrIa, some occasIonal sunshIne, perhaps developIng more wIdely through some Eastern Parts of england on through the afternoon. ThIs wInd dIrectIon, though, wIll contInue a feed of Imarsana.com/news/cloud-and-breeze'>Cloud And Breeze Into the coast of eastern Imarsana.com/news/scotland-and-northeast'>Scotland And Northeast england, keepIng temperatures down here at around 15, 16 degrees, whereas elsewhere, maInly 17 to 20. A lIttle hIgher, though, wIth prolonged sunny spells across western parts. OvernIght and Into saturday, areas of cloud, clear spells, down Into sIngle fIgures where youre clear. And by Imarsana.com/news/the-end'>The End of the nIght and fIrst thIng on saturday, the chance of a few showers runnIng In across southeast england, more especIally Into kent. So thIs Is how the weekend Is shapIng up. It Is lookIng, for the most part, dry, bar the chance of that shower towards the far southeast on saturday for a tIme, varIable cloud and some sunny spells around. Probably farIng quIte well for sunny spells durIng saturday. Temperatures, hIgh teens, just a few creepIng Into the low 20s. A bIt of a change for part two of the weekend on sunday. The hIgh pressurejust drIftIng more towards the northwest, allowIng a flow of a lIttle more moIst aIr to run down Into scotland, wIth more wIdely cloudIer skIes on sunday, perhaps northern Ireland, too, and runnIng In across the eastern sIde of england, where, stIll, along that North Sea coast, Itll be rather cool In The Cloud. But really quIte pleasant where youre stIll gettIng to see a bIt of sunshIne. Welcome to newsday. ReportIng lIve from sIngapore, Im karIshma vaswanI.
