before we get there come overnight tonight, still the risk of storms coming across parts of kent in particular. plenty of showers too for scotland and northern ireland. the bulk of the country actually is not particularly humid but it will take quite a while before that fresher air starts to waft its way into east anglia in south east england, so quite a muggy night for the most part. but by the time we get to tomorrow, fresher air will start to rise behind this cold front and tomorrow is a day essentials of sunshine and showers, though that said, there could be some longer spells of rain particularly working in across northern areas of scotland. elsewhere, the showers get going into the afternoon, some of them turning heavy and thundery in nature, one or two heavy downpours to come and temperatures by and large a bit below average but because we are still in august and that august sunshine, i think it will still feel 0k. it s a similar picture as we head into the weekend, ag
