It's warming up for most of us over the next few days, | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
but spring can be fickle. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:06 | |
And the warming weather may well not last. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
Beyond next week, it may well turn colder again. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
More on that in a moment. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:12 | |
First, let's focus on this rather stubborn, slow-moving weather front. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:16 | |
It drove southwards on Friday | 0:00:16 | 0:00:17 | |
and, during Saturday, is pushing back further north. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
Across northern England and Wales, after a wet start, | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
it should turn a little drier. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:24 | |
The rain creeping back into central and southern Scotland | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
and Northern Ireland. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:28 | |
Never too far away from the south-west. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
Much of northern Scotland, bar the odd shower, dry and bright. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
And the bulk of England and Wales seeing some hazy sunshine. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
And temperatures climbing. More widely into the teens on Saturday. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
It will still be pretty chilly, though, under that rain band. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
That tracks further northwards during Saturday evening, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
and showers arrive across the south-east, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
pushing north across eastern England, into eastern Scotland, | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
during the early hours of Sunday. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
Sunday is a real mess. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
The dominant feature is low-pressure systems, | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
but notice how they're all moving northwards, | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
which means our air is coming up from the south. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
So we are still importing relatively warm air | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
through the second half of the weekend in particular, | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
which means, in some sunshine, | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
temperatures could get to 17 or 18 on Sunday. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
But will we see the sunshine? Not everywhere will. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
There'll still be weather fronts | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
bringing showery rain to Scotland and Northern Ireland, | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
scattered showers elsewhere. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
After a misty, murky start, some places will see a bit of sun. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
And as I said, if we do, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:23 | |
temperatures could easily get to 18 Celsius. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
Low-pressure systems, weather fronts, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
continue to dominate into Monday, | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
but it's a very wish-washy, messy scenario. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
This area of low pressure could be a little bit further east. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
It will bring some warmth again, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
but also with the warmth comes the moisture, | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
and some heavy rain is possible on Monday. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
Most likely across eastern areas | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
as that low pressure system works its way out into the North Sea. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
It's still close by on Tuesday. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
Again, pinning down the detail is going to be difficult | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
with these slow-moving weather systems. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
But expect some rain, still, across the north-east on Tuesday, | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
showers elsewhere. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
Still on Tuesday, though, relatively mild, | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
certainly compared to recent days, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
with temperatures widely into double figures | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
and some getting into the teens. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
Then the weather becomes a little more straightforward | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
from the middle of the week onwards. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
We're back to more classic situations | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
with weather fronts pushing in off the Atlantic on Wednesday. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
Again, the timing of this rain band may vary, | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
but we're back to weather fronts moving through, | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
Cooler air following on behind. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
That cooler air will then dominate for the latter half of next week | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
as this area of low pressure takes control. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
Certainly sitting close by, if not over the UK, | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
and with the low-pressure in this position, | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
well, having had the winds from the south this weekend, | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
the winds likely to be coming down from the north | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
by the middle or latter part of next weekend. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
So, yes, it does get a bit warmer over the next few days, | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
but it's only a brief warming. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
The colder air, the blue colours, gripping the map once more. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
From midweek onwards, | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
temperatures likely to be back down to single figures in many places, | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
below average, certainly. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
All to do with the jet stream, turning westerly | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
and then driving to the south of the UK. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
We're on the cold side of the jet, | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
and that jet may well mean low-pressure systems are close by. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
When that happens, well, the weather is always going to be unsettled | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
to say the least. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
Low-pressure systems, of course, bringing outbreaks of rain. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
So, yes, the main themes next week, | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
after a brief warming spell, it turns colder again. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
Expect rain, snow on the hills, and the winds to be picking up as well. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
After a brief hit of spring, | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
hints of winter returning for next weekend. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 |
