31/08/2014 Weather for the Week Ahead

Hello, welcome to our broadcast where I'll take you through

the weather for the next five days in detail before taking

a look at what we could potentially see further ahead.

Sticking with the short-term where through the first

part of the weekend there has been cloud streaming down

across the South and East and the low-pressure system sitting

in the North Sea which kept showers going across northern Scotland.

By Sunday morning, there may still be one or two showers to the

north-east of Scotland but they'll gradually clear away

and for many Sunday should be fine and dry with bright spells.

It will be coming cloudier to the north-west,

some rain for Northern Ireland and the Western Isles of Scotland

through the afternoon with the breeze picking up as well.

Ahead of it for much of mainland Scotland it remains fine with

sunny spells, 17 to 18 degrees.

Quite a different afternoon for Northern Ireland with the rain

arriving. It stays dry and bright for England and Wales.

Perhaps more cloud arriving through Cardigan Bay and across Devon

and Cornwall for the afternoon.

Our top temperature potentially in the south-east corner

at 21 degrees in London.

As we go to Sunday evening those weather fronts begin to begin

to move further south introducing more cloud

It is tied in with warm humid air so a lot of mist

and low cloud as we start Monday morning with poor visibility,

outbreaks of rain across many areas.

Temperatures beginning Monday morning at 14, 15 degrees.

It is a warm start to the day

and we are looking at these weather fronts steadily clearing away.

Behind those fronts high-pressure starting to build in

so the best of any dry bright weather on Monday through

parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland.

After that gloomy start for England and Wales,

things improve for Northern England and Wales through the afternoon.

The rain still holding on to the East of England. Despite that,

21 in London with brighter skies for Glasgow

and Belfast a top temperature of 17.

At the moment potentially those weather fronts lingering to

the south on Tuesday but they should begin to weaken

but always keeping more cloud on Tuesday across southern

counties. With high-pressure becoming established further north,

here we will see good deals of sunshine around.

Potentially mist and fog first thing,

another thing to watch out for as the week goes on

but given some brightness, that will start to lift temperatures.

The high stays with us through the middle part of the week.

The winds will strengthen to the North with some approaching

fronts across parts of Scotland.

Cloudier here on Wednesday with some outbreaks of rain

but further south after a misty and foggy start that should lift

and clear, given some sunshine, 21 to 23 degrees.

You can see that pressure is relatively high throughout

much of next week.

There will always be complications of just how much cloud there's

going to be - will the mist and fog clear first thing in the morning?

When it does, it lifts temperatures into the low 20s but there's always

the risk that some areas will stay cloudier with some outbreaks of rain.

As we look through Friday and into the weekend,

there's a low pressure system that could be close

to southern counties of England turning things more unsettled here

but the high pressure is never too far away.

When we do get some sunshine, still staying pretty warm,

certainly to start with with some sunshine.

It could turn more unsettled for a time through the weekend

but it then looks like the high pressure will make a return.

That's all from me for now, bye-bye.

In 7 Up, we watched their characters emerge.

Boys think they're better than girls, and they're not.

In 14 Up, they shared their dreams.

I love the idea of being married. It'd be well good.

How have those dreams changed now they're 21?

Go to the Paralympics. I'd love that.
