We've seen a real range of weather over the past week or so. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
This week started off on a wintry note, | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
turned wet and windy through the middle of the week | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
and now we're ending on a much quieter spell. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
So through the weekend, it's looking dry for most places, | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
not everywhere. Some sunshine on offer. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
Rain, at times, in the north-west | 0:00:17 | 0:00:18 | |
but that will ease through the second half of the weekend. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
And the rain we'll see | 0:00:21 | 0:00:22 | |
across parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
is courtesy of this weather front | 0:00:24 | 0:00:25 | |
heading in towards the north-west. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
High-pressure out to the east of the UK | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
dominates the weather, | 0:00:29 | 0:00:30 | |
particularly across much of England and Wales. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
Through the day on Saturday, | 0:00:33 | 0:00:34 | |
we start off with some mist and fog patches, | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
particularly for central and eastern areas. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
Gradually lifting and clearing through the morning. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
Patchy rain for Northern Ireland, | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
clearing up through the afternoon, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
but the rain in the west of Scotland could be heavy, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
particularly over the hills. 50mm or so possible here. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
Fairly cloudy at times | 0:00:49 | 0:00:50 | |
across much of northern England and North Wales, too, | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
but further south, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:53 | |
plenty of sunny spells through Saturday afternoon | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
across parts of southern and eastern Wales, | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
central and eastern England. | 0:00:58 | 0:00:59 | |
But after the morning's mist and fog, | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
some cloud just lingering on into the afternoon. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
Through Saturday night into Sunday, | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
this weather front that delivered patchy rain | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
for Northern Ireland and Scotland | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
will push its way further north, | 0:01:10 | 0:01:11 | |
taking those spells of rain with it. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
Things drying out through Sunday across the country. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
Again, likely to see some frost and fogginess | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
first thing in the morning. Should clear away. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
And then for the vast majority of places, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
things are looking dry on Sunday. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:23 | |
Temperatures could reach around 13 degrees | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
for the likes of Belfast. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:27 | |
Always a little bit cooler, still single figures, | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
towards part of East Anglia and the south-east. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
That's because we are drawing in an easterly breeze, | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
moving its way around the south of this area of high pressure. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
But no great changes as we head into the new working week. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
For Monday, again, light winds across much of the country. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
As you can see, things are looking generally dry. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
Variable amounts of cloud. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:48 | |
Where we see breaks in that cloud, in the shelter, | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
we could see temperatures up to around 14 Celsius. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
But things are always cooler where you're exposed to that breeze. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
Perhaps the cloud taking its time | 0:01:56 | 0:01:57 | |
to thin and break in the south, at times. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
A fairly cool breeze just running along | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
to the south of this area of high pressure. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
Taking the edge off the temperatures, | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
for some southern and eastern areas. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
But during the day on Tuesday, again, | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
no great changes, that high pressure still in charge. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
Things are looking dry across much of the country. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
There'll be some sunshine, especially towards the north-west. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
A similar picture once again on Wednesday. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
Could be a bit chilly, | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
with some fog patches around first thing, sunny spells. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
Looking dry and temperatures just about nudging double figures | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
but feeling cooler in the east. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
Late next week, high pressure, you've got it, | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
stays in charge once again. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:33 | |
Drifts a little bit further northwards. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
This area of high pressure will be particularly large, | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
covering a range of latitude. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:39 | |
So the development of this large area of high pressure | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
will lead to something we call an Omega block, | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
a blocking pattern in the weather. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:45 | |
Typically, the jetstream, | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
at this latitude in the northern hemisphere, | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
runs from west to east. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:50 | |
There'll be ridges and troughs in this jetstream | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
typically delivering areas of low pressure | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
and high pressure at times across the UK. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
But what we are seeing in this coming week | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
is something called an Omega block. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
A large area of high pressure developing across the country, | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
large enough to divert the jetstream towards the north, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
and that will then plunge around the area of high-pressure further south. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
So low-pressure heading towards the Mediterranean. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
Could be quite unsettled here. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
But for the UK, predominantly dry. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
Called an Omega block, of course, | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
the jetstream resembles the Greek letter Omega. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
So later next week, | 0:03:20 | 0:03:21 | |
things are looking predominantly dry. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
Variable amounts of cloud. Some sunshine at times. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
Also a fairly chilly breeze in the south. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
We'll keep you up-to-date right here. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 |
