06/09/2014 Weather for the Week Ahead

Thanks for tuning in to our regular weather update

for the next ten days or so.

We have a look at the weather trends from around about day six to day ten.

The details, first of all, for the next few days.

We're going to start with the weekend.

There is a little bit of rain in the forecast.

You can see here across parts of Yorkshire

into Lincolnshire some spots of rain,

then some showers on the way

across the Pennines and Scotland.

But to the south of that,

I think all the way from the London area,

certainly Essex, East Anglia,

the South Midlands down into the Southwest,

it should be a dry day.

You can just about pick out

a couple of light showers here.

We're really talking about just 10-15 minutes of rain

with a bit of sun in between.

That sort of weather is anticipated across the Pennines,

perhaps northern parts of Scotland.

Northern Ireland probably getting away with a dry day.

You can see it's a bit fresher here

compared to the south of the country,

15 there in Belfast, 16 in Glasgow.

Now for the following night,

this is Saturday night into the early hours of Sunday.

Notice this area of rain.

It's across the northern portion

of the North Sea and it's curving back into Scotland.

Now what's happening across this part

of the British Isles is an area of low pressure

is actually intensifying.

It's reinvigorating itself.

It's been sitting here for quite some time.

This effectively translates to stronger winds

for eastern parts of Scotland and a period of rain,

so anywhere from northern Scotland, around Moray,

into Aberdeenshire, possibly Fife,

we're thinking generally north of Edinburgh,

it could be quite a wet, cool, unpleasant,

breezy sort of day.

That's the exception there.

You can see 13 in Aberdeen.

To the south of that, a completely different story.

It should be a bright day,

fine day, really, for most of us

with temperatures in the high teens

or round about the low 20s.

That low pressure, we finally say goodbye to it

through the course of Monday,

but it very slowly just drifts away.

This high tucks in behind it.

So if you can imagine the area of low pressure here,

the high pressure's here, it's tucking in,

bringing much drier, brighter, sunnier conditions

to most parts of the country.

But the cool air still remains, though, across Scotland.

The high early next week -

this is Monday and Tuesday we're talking about -

really sits on top of the country.

That means light winds

with sunshine and a bit of cloud stuck as well.

So what I'm trying to say is that many of us

will have dry weather with some sunshine,

but a few of us, unfortunately, will be stuck underneath

the grey skies through much of the day.

It really is going to be a question

of trying to get the right details

of precisely how much sunshine we're going to get.

You can see as we head into midweek next week

there's a low here and a high here.

What does that mean schematically?

Well, very light winds across the UK

with the high pressure, that's for sure,

so in the sunshine it'll feel fairly warm.

But you can see there's a lot of rain here

around this area of low pressure,

and it's not a million miles away from us.

So we're thinking that at least middle of next week

with that high here and the low here,

you can see how these highs and lows spin,

they drag in warmer air,

but later in that period here, this low will come closer to the UK

and possibly bring the threat of some rain to the southwest of the country.

But that's still a long way off.

I think overall we want to emphasise that there will be little rain,

it should be warm by day,

but the nights are going to be a little on the chilly side.

So that's it, those are our thoughts

for the next ten days or so. Bye.

Tom, I've kept a secret from you.

I never meant to lie to you. I just did what I thought I had to.

The quieter you keep a secret, the louder it explodes.

Why?!

Tell me now!

Tell me the truth!

I don't know what's happening.

I don't know what I'm doing.
