so, monday starts off rather cloudy, rather murky for england and wales. outbreaks of rain affecting eastern england, east anglia. fairly strong northerly winds, which will clear away. then, it's an improvement in the afternoon — we should start to see some sunshine breaking through that cloud for england and wales. could set off the odd shower. again, the best of the sunshine will be across scotland, where we could see 21 degrees, but even further south, given more sunshine around, we could make 18—20 celsius. as we head through monday night, could see this little feature bring some rain to south west england through the channel and spread its way eastwards. elsewhere, though, it should be largely dry but across south east scotland, north east england, we'll see a return to some rain there. and we start tuesday off with double—figure values in the south, single values there for eastern scotland, north east england. for tuesday, it's a bit of a similar story. we're in between weather systems, so a largely calm day, i think. variable amounts of cloud

nothing in mid wales at all, or in north wales. and while only a small proportion of people use trains to travel for work in wales, they are important for leisure and tourism, so saturday's scheduled action could have an even bigger impact in wales. it is important to note that transport for wales drivers are not striking today. they have agreed an undisclosed pay deal with a welsh government owned employers. because network rail are on strike, most trains can't run. the welsh labour government for their part have been highly critical of the uk government, claiming this is a dispute they have created. but unlike their labour colleagues in westminster, mark drakeford says he has no problem with welsh labour's senedd membersjoining picket lines. senedd members joining picket lines. well, senedd membersjoining picket lines. well, this is usually one of the busiest stations in the country, but not today. earlier, i went the concourse and it was a lot quieter, not the frequent tannoy announcements that passengers are so used to hearing.

elsewhere, increasing amounts of sunshine — more for england and wales so it'll feel warmer. could set off the odd shower again, but most places dry, highs of 22 celsius. later in the day, we start to see some rain getting in towards the far southwest — that's because we've got this frontal system working its way in across the country as we head on into wednesday. now, some of this rain could be quite heavy, particularly for england and wales for a time, before it clears its way eastwards. winds more of a feature, as well, across the south of england, south wales, certainly through the channel. into the afternoon, it'll be one of sunshine and showers, and some of these showers will be heavy, perhaps slow—moving, as further north, those winds will be lighter — top temperatures, 16—20 celsius. that area of low pressure clears away, a brief ridge of high pressure to start thursday, but a deep low develops out in the atlantic, to the northwest of the uk later thursday into friday. that'll bring some very windy weather to the north and the west of the uk in particular, and

why is it cooler for scotland on tuesday than england and wales? we have this weather front to thigh, bringing rain through the course of the night tonight. most fizzling away to drizzle the time we get to tuesday morning and the sun is up at 3:30am across shetland and we have the longest day ahead this tuesday and i9 the longest day ahead this tuesday and 19 hours of daylight possible for some parts of northern scotland. not 19 hours of sunshine. more cloud through the day, brighter as the day goes on for scotland and northern ireland and a few showers in the east but cooler because of the cloud and the weather front, may be 17 or 18 in aberdeen but possibly 25 across central england and wales, even through tuesday afternoon. wednesday, more sunshine for england and wales and warmer here and brighter skies for northern ireland and much of scotland, away from the north rain stays breezy and cool. we push into the 20s for aberdeen and belfast wednesday, may be up to 28 somewhere in england and wales through the middle of the week. thursday looks ver

and we will tap into some of that heat across england and wales. temperatures already 25 today and friday looks like the peak but not for all parts of the uk. scotland and northern ireland will stay close to average with outbreaks of rain at times particularly in the north and west. that is because of low pressure and weather fronts close by some of those pretty active thursday night into friday. but the high—pressure king stings dry and sunny across many parts of england and wales. —— keeps things dry. most of the rain is further north and west and picking up across northern ireland, that rain. we already had 25 degrees today and we could get higher. quite widely in the mid 20s. so once again we do have some very high levels of grass pollen. and because we are not many days away from the peak of the sun in the sky we have some very high levels of uv as well. we do not often see that in the uk. so sunshine remains this evening but some heavy rain moving across four time across northern ireland and scotland. and it is a warm night but again di

we've still got some very high pollen levels on saturday across england and wales. those levels are dropping a bit across northern england and north wales, perhaps because there will be a bit more cloud around on saturday and maybe a few more showers, too, but further south, probably going to be dry. most of the showers coming in across northern ireland and scotland, some longer spells of rain in the north—west of scotland and windy in scotland with some gales in the far north of the country. and it may be a little bit cooler in scotland and northern ireland on saturday, but warm in the sunshine for england and wales. it will be breezy here, certainly some brisk winds blowing across trent bridge again on saturday for day two of the test match. should stay dry, really, through the rest of the match itself. those westerly winds tending to ease down. that's really because that low pressure is bringing the windier weather and most of the showers, but that's moving away as we head into sunday. so, it won't be as windy on sunday. there will be a scattering of lighter sh

long waits are something patients in wales have had to accept. pre—pandemic, around 5% of patients were already waiting more than nine months for treatment. now, more than a third wait that long. seeing their health deteriorate as they wait is difficult for surgeons like dougie russell. it's really frustrating. before covid we recognised that particularly in wales we had longer waiting lists than a lot of our colleagues in england. and since the covid pandemic has stopped much of our elective operating, particularly in orthopaedics, our waiting lists have been going up and up, which is extremely frustrating. the biggest problem is a lack of capacity. new theatres like this one in swansea are being built, but they also need to be staffed before they can beat the backlog. the welsh government says a corner is being turned, with the number of patients waiting over two years falling for the first time. we are seeing the first chinks of light, because we are actually seeing numbers for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic for those wai
