On with all students is do take the opportunity to get vaccinated. We know that vaccinations are the best protection that individuals can take. Its the best protection for the University Community as a whole. Many universities will still ask students to wear masks and will manage timetables to avoid overcrowding. Nhs teams hopeful that, coupled with increased vaccination, will not only maximise student enjoyment, but also reduce pressure on services as we go into the winter months. Megan patterson, Bbc News. Now its time for a look at the weather with stav. Hello there. Weve done pretty well with the sunshine today, plenty of areas were dry, fine, quite warm for central, southern, eastern england, but well continue to see the chance of heavy showers and thunderstorms through the midlands this evening and into the first part of the night. Its not been sunny everywhere, we have had this weak Weather Front bringing more cloud to southern scotland, northern england, wales and the south west. These Weather Fronts will start to reinvigorate as we move through the night. The showers and storms through the midlands fade away, but it is out west where we see to see these Weather Fronts bringing more persistent and at times heavy rain, but the eastern side of england will stay dry, quite mild and muggy here, but further north a bit fresher, particularly where we have any clear spells across the far north of scotland. So for part two of the weekend, we have more Weather Fronts round, so its going to be cloudier generally, certainly to start the day, with outbreaks of rain, some of it quite heavy. The rain, though, becomes confined towards the eastern side of the country through sunday afternoon, particularly eastern england, some heavy thundery bursts. Meanwhile, it brightens up out west, so a better day for wales with some sunshine, one or two showers, though not quite as warm as what well see today. Hello, this is Bbc News. The headlines.

Weve done pretty well with the sunshine today, plenty of areas were dry, fine, quite warm for central, southern, eastern england, but well continue to see the chance of heavy showers and thunderstorms through the midlands this evening and into the first part of the night. Its not been sunny everywhere, we have had this weak Weather Front bringing more cloud to southern scotland, northern england, wales and the south west. These Weather Fronts will start to reinvigorate as we move through the night. The showers and storms through the midlands fade away, but it is out west where we see to see these Weather Fronts bringing more persistent and at times heavy rain, but the eastern side of england will stay dry, quite mild and muggy here, but further north a bit fresher, particularly where we have any clear spells across the far north of scotland. So for part two of the weekend, we have more Weather Fronts round, so its going to be cloudier generally, certainly to start the day, with outbreaks of rain, some of it quite heavy. The rain, though, becomes confined towards the eastern side of the country through sunday afternoon, particularly eastern england, some heavy thundery bursts. Meanwhile, it brightens up out west, so a better day for wales with some sunshine, one or two showers, though not quite as warm as what well see today. This is Bbc News the headlines at 4 00.
