Hello there. Now, of course, it's a leap year this year, | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
so we get one extra day of winter, but meteorological spring | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
just around the corner, starts on 1st March. Well, looking back | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
at the winter, it will go down as a warm one and a wet one | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
and there's more on those statistics | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
online on the BBC Weather website. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:16 | |
A cold start to the day on Monday | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
across England and Wales | 0:00:18 | 0:00:19 | |
in particular. Minus four, minus five | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
in some rural spots. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:22 | |
No problems with the frost in the west | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
because here we've got more | 0:00:24 | 0:00:25 | |
of a breeze from the south, | 0:00:25 | 0:00:26 | |
some cloud and mostly light and patchy rain | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
which will slowly drift | 0:00:28 | 0:00:29 | |
its way across the Irish Sea. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:30 | |
Patchy rain gets into the western side of Wales | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
and the far south-west of England | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
by the middle of the afternoon. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:35 | |
Much of Wales and the eastern side of England | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
doing well with some hazy sunshine, | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
eight or nine degrees, the top temperatures. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
It's really through Monday evening | 0:00:41 | 0:00:42 | |
when that rain starts to push its way | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
across most of the UK. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:45 | |
The winds will be picking up, | 0:00:45 | 0:00:46 | |
lots of isobars on the charts. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
It will be quite wet, quite windy | 0:00:48 | 0:00:49 | |
to start the day on Tuesday. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
That rain makes steady progress ever eastwards | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
with not a very pleasant start | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
to the day on Tuesday | 0:00:55 | 0:00:56 | |
with wind and rain across much of the UK. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
It'll last longest across | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
more eastern parts of England, | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
but behind it there is something | 0:01:02 | 0:01:03 | |
a bit drier following on behind, | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
but also quite a few showers. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:06 | |
Some of us may see double-figure temperatures | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
on Tuesday, but, of course, you have | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
to factor in that wind which will be quite keen. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
It stays pretty windy | 0:01:13 | 0:01:14 | |
and very unsettled | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
into the middle part of the week. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:17 | |
The low pressure to the north of the UK | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
dragging in the air from the long way north. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:20 | |
There's some cold air coming down through the UK | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
and this little feature looks like it | 0:01:23 | 0:01:24 | |
could bring some pretty blustery winds with it. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
It's a very windy day. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:27 | |
You could see some gales round the coasts, | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
to the north, the west and in the south. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
And it's quite an unsettled day, | 0:01:31 | 0:01:32 | |
lots of showers around, | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
some of those will be heavy, thundery, | 0:01:34 | 0:01:35 | |
a real mixture of rain, hail, sleet, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
a little bit of snow | 0:01:37 | 0:01:38 | |
over the hills of northern England. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
In fact, across northern parts of the UK, | 0:01:40 | 0:01:41 | |
some of that snow might | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
get down to the lower levels. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:44 | |
On into Thursday, and we've got low pressure | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
to west of the UK and out towards the east. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
In between, we've still got this cold air | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
coming down from the north. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
That bit drier, I suspect, | 0:01:53 | 0:01:54 | |
for many places on Thursday, | 0:01:54 | 0:01:55 | |
particularly along the south coast, | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
but not completely dry | 0:01:57 | 0:01:58 | |
cos there will be a few showers | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
towards the North Sea coast, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:01 | |
northern Scotland and later on | 0:02:01 | 0:02:02 | |
we start to see some rain just | 0:02:02 | 0:02:03 | |
nudging its way into the far south and west. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
That is due to an area of low pressure | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
which is driven along | 0:02:08 | 0:02:09 | |
by the jet stream. So let's take a look at the jet stream later on | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
this coming week and it will be a key feature of things | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
because it looks like it'll be pushing its way on long way north | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
up towards Greenland but then arcing quite a long way south | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
and as it does so, it continues to pull in cold air. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
And we are also going to see low-pressure systems | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
developing in this trough which develops towards the start | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
of the coming weekend, so into next weekend and it looks | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
like we're going to stay pretty unsettled with low pressure | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
pretty much on top of the UK. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:36 | |
This is at least for the first part of the coming weekend. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
The isobars, you can trace them back to a long way north, | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
so, again, cold air filtering down across the United Kingdom. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
So quite an unsettled look to things, | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
further heavy showers in the forecast | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
for the start of the weekend. The second part of the weekend, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
things might just begin to settle down from the west | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
as this area of high pressure drifts its way in from the Atlantic. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
So we've still got low-pressure to the east of the UK | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
and in between the two, well, the resultant winds are coming down | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
from the north, so yet more cold air filtering down across the UK. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
Not quite done with that wintry feel to things. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
So into next weekend and beyond, | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
it looks as if we're going to stay quite cold, | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
daytime temperatures will be struggling a little bit, | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
still some night-time frost | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
and it looks quite unsettled | 0:03:18 | 0:03:19 | |
with further wintry showers to be | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
had on into the following week | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
but at least there will | 0:03:23 | 0:03:24 | |
be some spells of sunshine. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
There's a lot going on | 0:03:26 | 0:03:27 | |
in the next few days - | 0:03:27 | 0:03:28 | |
you can keep up-to-date with all of it online. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 |
