    Transcript
    Hello and good morning! Well, we’re off to a good start in the south this week, as most of
    the rain from the weekend has disappeared – just a few patches of cloud and maybe some
    showers here on the east coast. They’ll all clear up by lunchtime, though. Over the next day or
    so, London and the area around Kent can expect a couple of isolated showers, but mostly dry
    through until Thursday.
    It’s not such good news for the north-west this week, I’m afraid: more wet weather, and not a
    lot of sunshine. Some of today’s showers will be heavy – and even thundery in Manchester and
    across the Pennines. Leeds will escape the thunderstorms, with drizzle and light rain only
    throughout the rest of the day and tonight.
    Elsewhere it becomes dry today, but with some foggy patches towards Wales. In England,
    tomorrow morning will see a dry, bright start in most places, with high temperatures
    throughout the week. We might see one or two thunderstorms appearing as the week goes
    on, with temperatures everywhere at 29 to 30 degrees.
    By the weekend, unfortunately, the dry weather will make way for mostly cloudy skies and
    rain. The rain will move from Scotland, down towards the north and reach the south coast by
    Saturday afternoon. Temperatures, at least, will stay mostly warm at around 21 degrees for
    the weekend. It might feel like a nice change from the high twenties and early thirties we’ll see
    in the week. That’s all from me until tomorrow. Enjoy the mini-heatwave while you can!
