half-time — the matildas' world cup. the half-time whistle _ the matildas' world cup. the half—time whistle has gone, england leading at half—time by one goal to nil. the team who england knocked out in the quarterfinals have received a to remember. unfancied going into the tournament, colombia, ranked 21 places lower than england, suprised everyone in australia, seeing off euro 2022 finalists germany in the group stages and progressing in style as they reached the last 8 at a world cup for the very first time. brazil forward neymar has signed a deal with saudi pro—league side al hilal which will reportedly see him paid 150m euros a year, six times the amount he earned at paris st germain. al hilal�*s chairman, fahad bin saad, has described neymar as "a global icon" and "an unstoppable attacking force" after agreeing a 2 year deal with the man who, six years ago left barcelona in a record—breaking £200m deal. last season's treble winners manchester city will look to add another trophy to their collection later when they take on sevilla in the super cup in athens. each season the match sees

levels across england and wales. we are talking weed pollen at the moment. now, we've got a fair bit of cloud across parts of northern scotland, around the moray forth, aberdeenshire and caithness and as we go through the day, a bit more fair weather cloud will bubble up, producing some showers, but it will be fairly isolated. temperatures 14 in the north, to about 26 as we push down towards the south. into this evening and overnight eventually a lot of those showers will fade, but we will hang on to a fair bit of cloud across scotland, northern england, down towards the midlands and across the pennines there will also be some hill fog. but it's not going to be a cold night. overnight lows between nine and about 14 degrees. that takes us into tomorrow. tomorrow, high pressure is still firmly in charge of our weather. we can see from the isobars the breeze is coming from the south—east, we are dragging in the warmer air from the near continent right the way across our shores, but we start off with the overnight cloud which should thin and break, and then we will see the sun come through. again, some scattered showers, a lot of us are missing them, and these are our temperatures. 20 in stornoway, 23 glasgow, in liverpool and birmingham the top temperatures likely to be about 27 in central southern england. friday sees two weather fronts coming our way. they're both going to be

bringing in some rain, which will be thundery. eventually it looks like they are going to merge. ahead of them there will be a lot of cloud, and that clouds thickens and brings us some drizzle. sunnier skies across northern scotland and parts of eastern england, but you can see the direction the rain is coming in from. the other thing is sea breezes along the north sea coastline, so here it will be cooler. highs of 26 of 27 as we push down towards the south—east. now, into saturday, very warm start to the day. the rain continuing to push northwards into the far north of scotland, leaving us with a largely dry day. again, a lot of sunshine, just one or two showers here and there, with highs up to about 26, but that 26 will feel fresher than it's going to do on friday. then the outlook, there will still be one or two showers around, but have a look at how settled the weather is as we go through the middle of the week. temperatures down a touch, but still feeling pleasantly warm in any sunshine.
