The Easter weekend is within sight, | 0:00:03 | 0:00:04 | |
and by then, the weather pattern across the UK | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
could look very different from what we've seen recently. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
Throughout most of March, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:10 | |
our weather has been characterised by dry, | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
often rather chilly conditions. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
One constant has been this high pressure | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
very close to our shores for quite some time, | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
bringing with it cloud and areas of sunshine, too. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:24 | |
Sunday is the spring equinox, so days get longer than nights. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:29 | |
Not all of us will see some sunshine on Sunday. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
Some places will. Central, southern Scotland, | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
particularly Northern Ireland, | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
and perhaps northern England in some areas. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
Further south, it may brighten up from time to time, | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
but on the whole, there'll be a lot of cloud. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
Temperatures, again, Sunday, under the cloud, 8 degrees or so. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
Some sunshine, 11 or 12. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
As we head into the evening and overnight, | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
those cloud breaks may start to shift a little bit further south | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
into Wales, through the Midlands, eventually into southern England. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
At the same time, more cloud comes into Scotland | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
and we could, again, see a little bit of light rain or drizzle. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
So the colder weather slips further south overnight into Monday morning, | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
or across the Midlands, towards Wales and the West Country, | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
there could be the odd mist and fog patch as well. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
Essentially, though, we've still got high pressure | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
just about in charge across the UK. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
It's beginning to show signs of slipping away. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
These weather fronts are very weak. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
They're transporting more cloud southwards across the UK, | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
so there may be some early sunshine across southern parts of England, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
then that will fill in during the afternoon. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
On the whole, by the afternoon, most places will be rather cloudy. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
Much more cloud for western Scotland and for Northern Ireland. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
A little drizzle in the air, too. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
It should be somewhat brighter across eastern areas, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
because we're losing the wind off the North Sea. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
More of a gentle westerly around the top of that area of high pressure. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
That's a better direction for the eastern side of the UK. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
See how the high is just starting to slip away towards the south-west. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
Still clinging on on Tuesday so, again, most places will be dry. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
There'll be a lot of cloud around. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
Brighter skies towards the eastern side of the UK. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
And where you do see a glimmer of sunshine, | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
temperatures will get into double figures. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
But things are starting to change, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
and we've got some weather fronts on the scene | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
for the middle part of the week. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
These first set of weather fronts are very weak. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
Remember, they're running into that high pressure. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
So we'll see a band of cloud, a little rain or drizzle | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
coming across Scotland, away from Northern Ireland, | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
into northern and western parts of England and Wales. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
Something a little bit brighter ahead of that. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
One or two showers coming into the north-west of the UK. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
The next weather system | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
is the one that's going to have a bit more oomph to it. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
This is probably going to bring the first significant rain | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
that we've had for a long time now. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
A lot more isobars on the chart, too, | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
so we'll find some stronger winds around on Thursday. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
And this band of rain | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
will push its way steadily eastwards across the UK. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
I think most places will get some rain. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
Quite a change from what we've had. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
And this signals a start of something very different | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
for the Easter weekend. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
High pressure not really in sight. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
Low pressures are going to come in from the Atlantic. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
At times, we'll have a milder south-westerly wind | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
and then as the lows tend to pull away towards Scandinavia, | 0:03:00 | 0:03:04 | |
they'll introduce, briefly, some cooler north-westerlies, | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
bringing some showers as well. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
So a much more unsettled, | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
much more changeable pattern as we head into the weekend. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
There'll be some stronger winds as well, | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
because things are more changeable. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:18 | |
There'll be some rain from time to time, | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
but it's not a wash-out by any means. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
There will be some spells of sunshine | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
and in the sunshine, of course, | 0:03:25 | 0:03:26 | |
it will feel quite pleasant at this time of the year. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
That's it from me. Bye for now. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:29 | |
The voice you're hearing is mine. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
It was recorded last night after I had a few pints. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
I'm doing this to show that... | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
(slurs) alcohol takes so long to pass through me body. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
Even though I feel sober now, my body is still drunk. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
And if I drove now the consequences could be... | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 |
