Hello. If you watched Jay on Tuesday, | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
he talked about 1st December as the start of the meteorological winter. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:10 | |
So, what has autumn been like? | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
Pretty average, really, temperature-wise and rainfall-wise. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
September was particularly cold, | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
one of the coldest for about 20 years, | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
and the sunshine wasn't exceptional, | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
but that was borne out by a pretty mild November, | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
so temperatures were average. It was very wet in November, | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
but it's been the dullest November on record, | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
so how nice it was on Wednesday | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
to see some weather watchers' pictures with blue skies. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
Not for all, but a lot in the South | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
enjoyed some sunshine, | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
but that weather front is taking centre stage | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
for the next 24 to 36 hours. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
It'll meander across the country, | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
throwing in pulses of rain, | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
rain that we don't need, on saturated ground. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
It's also the dividing line | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
between this mild air and cold, wintery weather to the North, | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
which we witnessed earlier in the week. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
A cold start in the North, | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
fog as well, but this rain pushes Northwards. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
Winds strengthen, gales or severe gale force winds. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
We could see brightness in Southern and Eastern areas, | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
and towards the North, | 0:01:16 | 0:01:17 | |
but the windows smaller than on Wednesday. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
Perhaps some snow for the Southern Uplands | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
and the North Pennines. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
That takes away the wind and rain for a time, | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
so it looks like a quiet end to the week, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
but by the end of play on Friday, | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
more wind and rain arrives in the North and West. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
Friday is a mild day | 0:01:35 | 0:01:36 | |
so we expect the continuation of | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
the snow thaw across Scotland, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
and with flood warnings out already, that is a concern. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
Look at this - the tightly packed lines | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
denote some VERY windy weather, | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
Friday night till the end of Saturday, | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
with further fronts bringing in more rain. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
Let's put detail on the bones for Saturday. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
We may escape the rain till late in the South and East, | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
but we won't escape the winds, | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
potentially storm force. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:03 | |
Very mild air, so a lot of wet weather to come | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
in areas where we've already seen too much rain. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
We could have another bout of snow | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
as the milder air pushes in | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
and meanders South. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
As it clears away, it'll take away the strongest winds, | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
but it looks like a very windy weekend, | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
perhaps the second half of the weekend | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
playing out quite fair. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
That front never really goes away from the South, | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
and it combines forces with this next one, | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
so we've got a double whammy | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
with two weather systems across the UK | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
and windy weather again. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
Not a pleasant start to the week. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
And so it continues. But why? | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
We're stuck in a rut, unfortunately. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
We've got a strong jet stream | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
across the country, | 0:02:47 | 0:02:48 | |
a strong westerly jet stream, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
so it's steering our weather systems, | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
those low pressures, right across us. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
Midweek, there's a hint it weakens, | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
which allows high pressure to build, | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
more especially in the South. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
It means a quieter spell of weather, | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
a day, possibly more, of drying out. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
Some respite, if you like. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
But not for long. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
We return to those strong | 0:03:10 | 0:03:11 | |
Westerly winds later in the week | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
and more of those low pressures | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
with wet and windy weather. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
So it remains unsettled, | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
it won't be raining all the time, | 0:03:19 | 0:03:20 | |
but there will be spells of | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
VERY windy weather | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
and the rain onto saturated ground, | 0:03:24 | 0:03:25 | |
with high river levels, | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
doesn't look good. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:28 | |
As ever, the weather warnings are on the website. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
Christmas Day may be the highlight of the holidays... | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
