Hello there. The start of meteorological spring

0:00:020:00:04

may well be just around the corner,

0:00:040:00:06

but the next several days,

0:00:060:00:07

it's still going to feel a bit on the wintry side.

0:00:070:00:10

That wintry feel just lingering on

0:00:100:00:12

into the early part of March.

0:00:120:00:14

Certainly starting on Sunday

0:00:140:00:15

on a very cold note

0:00:150:00:16

in some parts of Scotland,

0:00:160:00:18

the sheltered glens will be down to minus 10

0:00:180:00:20

or even lower than that.

0:00:200:00:21

A touch of frost towards the southern counties

0:00:210:00:24

and that chilly feel

0:00:240:00:25

accentuated by that breeze

0:00:250:00:26

blowing in across East Anglia,

0:00:260:00:28

southern counties,

0:00:280:00:29

quite a gusty wind, but apart from that,

0:00:290:00:31

it's going to be a pretty reasonable day,

0:00:310:00:32

variable amounts of cloud,

0:00:320:00:34

some spells of sunshine,

0:00:340:00:35

lighter winds as you work your way north,

0:00:350:00:37

so a decent day, once again, in Scotland,

0:00:370:00:39

six or seven degrees,

0:00:390:00:39

eight or nine in the south-east,

0:00:390:00:41

but you have to factor in that wind

0:00:410:00:42

which will eventually ease down,

0:00:420:00:44

Sunday night, into Monday.

0:00:440:00:45

It's going to turn quite cold

0:00:450:00:47

Monday morning for England

0:00:470:00:48

and Wales with light winds

0:00:480:00:49

and fairly clear skies.

0:00:490:00:50

Not so further north or west

0:00:500:00:52

because weather fronts will be moving in here.

0:00:520:00:54

That's going to bring cloud and rain.

0:00:540:00:56

Quite a few isobars indicate

0:00:560:00:57

that it'll be quite windy.

0:00:570:00:58

It's wet and windy

0:00:580:00:59

for Northern Ireland, Western Scotland.

0:00:590:01:01

Maybe just a bit of snow

0:01:010:01:02

on the leading edge of that system.

0:01:020:01:03

By the middle of the afternoon,

0:01:030:01:05

you might begin to see a bit of rain

0:01:050:01:06

cropping up in the Western fringes

0:01:060:01:08

of England and Wales, but for the Midlands,

0:01:080:01:10

eastern England, it should stay dry

0:01:100:01:12

until well on into the evening,

0:01:120:01:13

five to nine degrees

0:01:130:01:14

your afternoon highs on Monday.

0:01:140:01:16

By Tuesday, low pressure

0:01:160:01:18

still in charge of our weather.

0:01:180:01:19

Weather fronts moving through

0:01:190:01:21

bringing spells of rain

0:01:210:01:22

and lots of isobars on the charts,

0:01:220:01:23

so it's going to be quite windy.

0:01:230:01:25

It's not a particularly pleasant

0:01:250:01:27

sort of day on Tuesday with rain

0:01:270:01:28

sweeping its way from the north-west

0:01:280:01:30

towards the south-east.

0:01:300:01:31

The winds are coming in

0:01:310:01:32

from the south-west, so, I suppose,

0:01:320:01:33

on the face of it, it's going to be relatively

0:01:330:01:35

mild, 10, 11, 12 degrees,

0:01:350:01:37

particularly across England and Wales,

0:01:370:01:39

but in the wind and the rain,

0:01:390:01:41

it's not going to feel that great.

0:01:410:01:42

Now onto the middle

0:01:420:01:43

of the coming week and low pressure

0:01:430:01:45

still in charge of our weather,

0:01:450:01:47

lots of isobars in the charts,

0:01:470:01:48

so it's going to be windy

0:01:480:01:49

and you can follow those isobars

0:01:490:01:51

all the way back up towards the Arctic,

0:01:510:01:53

so some cold air digging down across the UK.

0:01:530:01:55

It's going to be an unsettled day,

0:01:550:01:57

a blustery day, and it will feel cold

0:01:570:01:59

in that wind and the showers

0:01:590:02:00

may not just be of rain,

0:02:000:02:01

there could well be some sleet and some snow.

0:02:010:02:04

That's certainly one to watch

0:02:040:02:05

through the middle of the coming week.

0:02:050:02:08

On into the latter part of the coming week,

0:02:080:02:10

well, we'll take a look at the jet stream.

0:02:100:02:11

Of course, the jet stream is that fast-moving ribbon

0:02:110:02:14

of air in the upper atmosphere which tends to drive our weather systems.

0:02:140:02:17

It looks like it will be slipping its way a little bit further south.

0:02:170:02:20

We're on the cold side of the jet and we tend to see

0:02:200:02:23

weather systems developing on the northern flank of that system, so it

0:02:230:02:27

does look rather unsettled towards the latter part of the coming week.

0:02:270:02:31

We've still got low pressure in charge of our weather,

0:02:310:02:34

one to the east of us,

0:02:340:02:35

another one swinging its way down from the north and west.

0:02:350:02:39

While the isobars may well ease out a little bit,

0:02:390:02:41

it still looks pretty unsettled.

0:02:410:02:43

There's a mixture of rain, maybe even still some sleet and some snow.

0:02:430:02:46

So an unsettled look to things

0:02:460:02:48

through the middle and latter part of the coming week

0:02:480:02:51

and then on into next weekend,

0:02:510:02:52

well, the general idea

0:02:520:02:53

is for high pressure to drift its way in from the Atlantic.

0:02:530:02:56

Low pressure to the east of us, high pressure to the west

0:02:560:02:59

and the resultant winds are coming down from the north.

0:02:590:03:03

Now a northerly wind is never particularly warm,

0:03:030:03:05

so into next weekend don't expect to see double-digit temperatures.

0:03:050:03:08

It's going to be quite chilly, particularly in that wind.

0:03:080:03:12

So a cold wind coming down from the north next weekend

0:03:120:03:15

and it will keep things fairly unsettled with some wintry showers

0:03:150:03:18

still to be had, but some spells of sunshine in between those showers.

0:03:180:03:22

Daytime temperatures probably not particularly high

0:03:220:03:26

and still some frost

0:03:260:03:27

in the coming few nights.

0:03:270:03:28

Lots going on, keep up-to-date with it online.
