Hello. There is no sign | 0:00:03 | 0:00:04 | |
of our weather patterns changing significantly, | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
even as we head into the start of 2016, | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
which means, yes, more weather systems | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
coming in from the Atlantic. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
Our weather generally coming up | 0:00:13 | 0:00:14 | |
from the south-west. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:15 | |
So, it seems pretty mild, | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
and it stays often wet | 0:00:17 | 0:00:18 | |
and frequently blustery too, | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
with low pressure system | 0:00:21 | 0:00:22 | |
after low pressure system. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:23 | |
This one in particular | 0:00:23 | 0:00:24 | |
giving us headaches at the moment. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
Slow-moving weather fronts | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
bringing persistent rain during Boxing Day | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
across parts of North Wales, | 0:00:30 | 0:00:31 | |
Northern England, Southern Scotland - | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
anywhere in this zone at risk of flooding. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
The Met office has an Amber - be prepared - Warning | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
in force for parts of Cumbria and Lancashire, | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
because here we are just so sensitive | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
after all the rain of recent weeks. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
Further south, it is another dry, | 0:00:46 | 0:00:47 | |
rather drab day on Boxing Day. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
It is a bit blustery. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:50 | |
We could see some brightness. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
Overall, it is just mild and cloudy. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:53 | |
Then, we are into the rain - | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
persistent, heavy rain. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:56 | |
North Wales, much of Northern England | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
and Southern Scotland too. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
Could be some rain for a time | 0:01:00 | 0:01:01 | |
across the east of Northern Ireland. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
Of course, Northern Scotland, | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
there will be a fair bit of snow falling | 0:01:04 | 0:01:05 | |
over the hills here. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
But, as I say, the greatest cause for concern | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
from the slow-moving weather front | 0:01:09 | 0:01:10 | |
across Southern Scotland and Northern England | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
and North Wales. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:13 | |
That is where we have those weather warnings in force. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
This wriggling weather front, | 0:01:16 | 0:01:17 | |
well, there is always some uncertainty | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
when we get these little ripples on them. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:20 | |
Again, some question marks about exactly where | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
this band of rain is sitting for Sunday, | 0:01:23 | 0:01:24 | |
but, again, the threat of some more rain | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
into Sunday morning | 0:01:26 | 0:01:27 | |
across Northern England and North Wales. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
It is going to be fizzling out | 0:01:29 | 0:01:30 | |
as we go through Sunday. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
That band of rain marks the boundary | 0:01:32 | 0:01:33 | |
between the really mild conditions in the south, | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
and, well, the more typical conditions - | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
temperatures close to average across Scotland. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
There will be some sunshine here. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:42 | |
Monday's chart - | 0:01:42 | 0:01:43 | |
it is all about weather fronts and isobars, | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
but, again, those isobars pointing well down to the south, | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
south-west, drawing up relatively mild air. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
That mild air is set to last | 0:01:51 | 0:01:52 | |
throughout the rest of this year. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
Particularly so on Monday - | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
temperatures, well, we see some sunshine, | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
could get into the teens once more. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
A little cooler perhaps | 0:02:00 | 0:02:01 | |
on some of these eastern coasts, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
but even here, 10 or 11 is above average. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:04 | |
A warmer day across Western Scotland, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
and further south, as I say, | 0:02:06 | 0:02:07 | |
we could get 13 or 14 Celsius. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
Then, for Tuesday and Wednesday, | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
we are keeping our eyes on this area | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
of low pressure intensifying. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
Look at the number of isobars around that low. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
It could get very, very windy indeed. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:19 | |
A few days off, | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
some uncertainty about the track of that storm, | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
but the potential for some stormy weather | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
arriving late on Tuesday. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:27 | |
Ahead of it, we have still got southerly winds, | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
it's still mild. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:30 | |
It's generally a dry day | 0:02:30 | 0:02:31 | |
until that rain starts to arrive in the west. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
Then, it's very wet and very windy, | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
it looks like, on Tuesday night | 0:02:36 | 0:02:37 | |
and through Wednesday. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:38 | |
The potential for severe gales. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
The potential for more heavy rain | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
as that intense area of low pressure moves through. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
It looks most like as if | 0:02:46 | 0:02:47 | |
it will go to the north of Scotland. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
Why so lively, the weather? | 0:02:49 | 0:02:50 | |
Well, we have to look high up | 0:02:50 | 0:02:51 | |
at the jet stream - | 0:02:51 | 0:02:52 | |
that fast-moving ribbon of air, | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
30,000 feet up. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:55 | |
There is a bit of a dip in it, | 0:02:55 | 0:02:56 | |
which can be a breeding ground for low pressure systems, | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
and a very active jet stream | 0:02:59 | 0:03:00 | |
set to drive another intensifying area of low pressure, | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
certainly close to the UK | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
as we head towards the New Year. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
So, we are going to keep our eyes peeled | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
over the next few days, for the rest of next week. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
Again, likely to see some strong winds, | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
potential for further flooding, | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
and even into the start of the New Year - | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
very little change. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:20 | |
Spells of wind and rain, | 0:03:20 | 0:03:21 | |
there'll be drier interludes. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
Overall, this very mild theme | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
will continue. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:26 | |
All the weather warnings will be constantly updated | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
on the BBC weather website. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
