Hello there. It's been pretty quiet across the UK in recent days, | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
with very little rain to speak of. High pressure has been in charge. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:10 | |
This is what the big picture has looked like recently, | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
with high pressure across the United Kingdom, | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
the jet stream deflected around it towards the north. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
However, by the end of this week | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
we are going to see some pretty big changes | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
as the jet stream moves to the south of the UK. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
That's going to allow low pressure to develop across our shores | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
and that's going to bring some wetter and windier weather | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
later on this week. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
But before we get there, it's a pretty reasonable day on Tuesday, | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
a chilly start, few patches of mist and fog, but bright for many. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
Cloud amounts increasing into the afternoon, | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
but still some spells of sunshine to be had. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
Maybe not so in the far north and west of Scotland | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
because here the cloud's thicker, a bit of light rain and drizzle, | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
but through Glasgow, Edinburgh, it's fairly cloudy, | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
but there should be some breaks towards Edinburgh. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
With a few breaks in the cloud, light winds, 11 or 12 degrees. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
A lot of cloud in Northern Ireland but it should be mostly dry. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
And fairly cloudy through the afternoon | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
across much of the western side of England and Wales. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
Yes, it's fairly cloudy, but most places are dry. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
Only 8 or 9 degrees underneath that cloud. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
We've got some spells of sunshine lasting into the afternoon | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
across the southern and eastern parts of England. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
Eastern Scotland also seeing something a little bit brighter. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
Through the evening, a lot of cloud around, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
breaks rather more limited. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:16 | |
Still a bit of light rain and drizzle towards the north and west, | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
and temperatures not dropping away too far - | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
by this stage I think they're probably at their lowest | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
at about 4 or 5 degrees. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:25 | |
Wednesday, though, we do see a weak weather front | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
drifting its way towards the north and west of the UK. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
That will bring a little bit of rain with it | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
and a few showers will follow along behind. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
Many places will just be fine and dry, if rather cloudy. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
We've got that weak weather front to the north and west. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
It will bring some rain to Northern Ireland and Western Scotland | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
but that'll be about it - it'll fizzle out as it moves eastwards, | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
so most of England and Wales | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
will be dry through the middle of the week with a fair bit of cloud. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
Still could get into double figures in the south and east. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
Now, Wednesday's cloud makes its way over eastwards | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
only to be followed by this more active weather system for Thursday. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
A lot more isobars, so it will turn quite windy, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
and we're going to see those weather fronts bringing some rain. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
It'll start off in the north and west of the UK | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
and spread to all parts as we get on into the afternoon. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
Some drier bits following along behind, | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
but still with some blustery showers. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
Then on to Good Friday, and actually it looks like a pretty decent day | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
across many parts of the UK. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
That rain will clear away from the south-east early on, | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
and then it's dry and bright. We'll hang on to some dry weather | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
for central and eastern England well into the afternoon. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
In the north and west, though, | 0:02:29 | 0:02:30 | |
it looks like wind and rain spreading in | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
and that wind will be picking up across all parts later in the day | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
as that weather front makes pretty good progress | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
southwards and eastwards from Good Friday on into Saturday. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:42 | |
So Saturday not looking like a great day. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
It'll be quite wet and windy, particularly for England and Wales, | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
but the rain is on the move - | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
something drier and brighter follows, but still with showers. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
Then looking further ahead towards Easter Day itself, | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
the unsettled theme continues with low pressure to the north of the UK. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
There'll be some dry spells but also some showers on Easter Day itself. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
Then for Easter Monday, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:04 | |
the next area of low pressure is heading our way. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
So through the Easter weekend the winds will be picking up, | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
it will be windy, with gales in places. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
There'll be some rain at times, some showers, | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
but also some drier and brighter interludes. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
All in all, it does look rather unsettled in the coming few days. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
With all of that coming in from the Atlantic, | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
it's always going to be wettest and windiest in the west, | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
and still some chilly nights in the forecast, with a touch of frost. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 |
