There could be a slightly different look to the weather for the new year. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:07 | |
We close this year out, though, with yet another storm. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
This area of cloud underwent rapid cyclogenesis, a weather bomb, | 0:00:10 | 0:00:15 | |
the pressure falling 24 millibars or more in just 24 hours, Storm Frank. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:20 | |
Because it's a deep area of low pressure, it's being steered | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
up towards Iceland, getting the full force of that storm. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
But we've seen the winds picking up and some heavy rain moving in, | 0:00:26 | 0:00:30 | |
and it's the rain that continues to be the main concern, | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
especially for those flood-hit areas already, | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
so we have this amber rain warning from the Met Office. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
The warning should expire by the morning across Northern Ireland | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
as the rain clears, | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
but we'll see those warnings continuing across south-west | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
Scotland, north-west England throughout | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
the morning as the rain continues. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
The winds will gradually ease as the rain clears slowly towards the east, | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
allowing drier weather in the afternoon | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
and some showers for Scotland. It'll be drier for Northern Ireland. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
It should eventually turn drier in Wales | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
and western parts of England, too. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
That weather front will clear away overnight, | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
taking the rain away eventually, | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
and then for New Year's Eve we're into something a little different. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
We'll find bands of showers particularly focused on that | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
weather front there. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
We start the day generally dry and sunny, | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
and eastern areas should have a decent morning. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
We'll see these bands of showers, though, coming into the west, | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
sliding across all areas later on in the day. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
The showers are going to be heavy, there'll be some hail and thunder, | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
some snow over the hills | 0:01:28 | 0:01:29 | |
in the north, and here it'll start to feel a little bit colder. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
We've got colder air beginning to | 0:01:33 | 0:01:34 | |
push in just in time for the clock to strike | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
midnight for the start of the new year, | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
milder air just getting pushed aside just for a little while. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
But we have another area of low pressure coming our way, | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
this one not having the same impact as Storm Frank. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
Indeed, it'll probably stay out to the south-west for a while. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
A brief ridge of high pressure means a lot of dry weather | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
and some sunshine for New Year's Day, | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
the winds picking up out towards the west and the cloud thickening, | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
a little rain not far away for Northern Ireland, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
south-west England by the end of the day. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
So, we've got higher pressure towards the east, low pressure in the west. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
This low pressure is going to become quite slow-moving. Around it, | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
there'll be some stronger winds and maybe a south-easterly wind | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
picking up across many parts of the UK | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
and bands of rain pushing up from the south-west. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
But there's not as much warm air in this, so there won't be as much rain. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
The rain won't be quite as heavy, and it's going to be mainly | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
focused on that area of low pressure as it runs northwards across the UK. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
Behind that, another one comes in. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
Notice everything is just a little bit further south. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
The winds are still strong on Sunday, we'll still see some more rain, | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
particularly across the south-west of England and South Wales, | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
not quite so wet further north. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
So, that's Sunday. Temperatures seven to eleven degrees. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
Throughout most of the week, | 0:02:52 | 0:02:53 | |
we've had the jet stream in this sort of orientation, | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
drawing up some very warm but very wet air on its forward flank, | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
which is why we've had so much flooding. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
As we move into the first week of January, | 0:03:01 | 0:03:05 | |
the jet stream is in a slightly different position. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
It's more zonal, west-east, it's a little bit further south, and | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |
the jet stream will steer areas of low pressure further south, as well. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
Now, we'll get an undercut of colder air. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
It'll feel a bit colder, as it should do at this time of the year. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
Pressure's a bit higher in the north, it should be a bit drier. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
Most of the rain is nearer the areas of low pressure, | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
nearer the southern half of the UK, | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
so we're a little different to what we're seeing right now. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
I want futurism, | 0:03:33 | 0:03:34 | |
but not yesterday's futurism. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
I want today's futurism for tomorrow. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
I want Hollywood glamour and feathers and sequins | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
and glitter unicorns! | 0:03:41 | 0:03:42 |
