Hello. Let's see what the weather is up to over the next few days | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
and, as promised, a very mild Christmas. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
In fact, the Met Office is saying December is likely to be | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
the warmest December since records began. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
Hardly surprisingly when we have had temperatures of around 14, 15, | 0:00:14 | 0:00:18 | |
16 and even higher over the last few weeks. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
This is Storm Eva, sweeping the north-west of the British Isles | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
and the last 24 hours or so. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
In between weather systems in this gap | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
and then this area of low pressure cloud approaching | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
the south-west of the UK on Christmas Day so more rain, a bit of a breeze | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
and certainly mild weather reaching the south-west of the country. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
10am, raining across parts | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
of the South West, Central, Southern England, Southern Wales too. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
But, for many of us, | 0:00:43 | 0:00:44 | |
Christmas Day is actually going to start off quite bright. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
Quite pleasant actually if you are going out for a walk at this time. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
Some sunshine in the East Midlands, across Yorkshire. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
Northern Ireland, a chilly, crisp start. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
Feeling quite Christmassy actually. And the same goes for Scotland. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
There might even be some wintry showers | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
so for a few it will be a white Christmas but only in the Highlands. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
Then through the day on Christmas Day, | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
this weather front moves ever northwards. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
It crosses the Midlands in the middle of the afternoon. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
Behind it we have got milder weather. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
In fact, temperatures will be in the mid-teens in the evening | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
on Christmas Day. Much colder in Scotland. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
Or like 4 or 5 degrees for Aberdeenshire | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
and into the Western Isles. That's Christmas Day. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
Into Boxing Day, unfortunately, this weather front could cause trouble. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:28 | |
It looks as if it is making a beeline, | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
at this stage we are thinking for Cumbria. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
It has prompted the Met Office to issue an amber warning for Cumbria | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
because the rain will be very heavy and the impact could be significant. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
We could see more flooding across this part of the country but it may | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
just take a nudge of this weather front a bit further south or north | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
to reduce or increase the amount of rainfall we will get across Cumbria. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:53 | |
But the large swathe of the UK will actually be dry on Boxing Day. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
Dry and mild across the south, 14 or 15 degrees. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
Then that wet weather in the north-west | 0:02:00 | 0:02:01 | |
and southern parts of Scotland. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
And the north of Scotland colder, around six, seven, eight degrees. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
On Sunday, a huge area of low pressure dominating the Atlantic. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
It is scooping up all that mild air that is sitting in | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
the southern climes across the Azores and shunting it into our direction. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
That means on Sunday it will be a mild one. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
Winds south or even south-easterly. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
That means the mild air in the south will be pushed northwards. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
It could be around 13, 14, 15 degrees in some areas. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
On Monday, low pressure dominates the Atlantic | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
and what we are keeping an eye on is these baby lows | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
developing to the south and pushed by a powerful jet stream. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:42 | |
These will be developing, spinning up quickly and heading in our direction. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
The first set of weather fronts arrives on Monday. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
There will be some rain. Not too bad, maybe even a bit of sunshine. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:53 | |
Temperatures will be around 13 degrees in the south, | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
double figures even in Scotland. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
Monday night into Tuesday, the jet stream becomes more powerful, | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
it swings in our direction and develops this area of low pressure. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
It is still too early to say how nasty this low will be | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
but, if we look at the pressure pattern, | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
you can see an awful lot of isobars here. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
That means very strong winds, | 0:03:14 | 0:03:15 | |
severe gales blowing across a number of areas. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
For the lead up into the New Year, it is looking stormy. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:23 | |
Stay in touch with the latest weather updates | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
if you are travelling across the country. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
That's it. Have a very Merry Christmas. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
KNOCKING | 0:03:33 | 0:03:34 | |
Can I help you? Yes, are you the surgeon? | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
Close enough. Why? There's a medical emergency. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
Do I know you? You most certainly do not. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
My husband is dying. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 |
