Hello there. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:04 | |
Mother Nature is going to be playing games with us over the week ahead. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
First of all, it'll start to get a bit warmer | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
and then it will get noticeably colder later on. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
It's been a fairly quiet start to the week | 0:00:12 | 0:00:13 | |
and after a chilly start, | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
Tuesday sees more sunshine for Scotland, | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
northern England, down to East Anglia | 0:00:17 | 0:00:18 | |
and eventually developing | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
across the south-east of England. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:21 | |
Probably hanging on to more cloud though for Wales, | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
the south-west and Northern Ireland | 0:00:24 | 0:00:25 | |
but still a little sunshine at times. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
The winds will be much lighter in Scotland | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
so it should feel warmer here | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
and the highest temperature | 0:00:31 | 0:00:32 | |
probably around the London area, about 15 degrees or so. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
Now, we've got high pressure | 0:00:35 | 0:00:36 | |
which is sitting right over the UK on Tuesday | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
and into Wednesday | 0:00:39 | 0:00:40 | |
and with that high pressure building, | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
it will thin the cloud, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:43 | |
break it up, allow more sunshine. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
We've got more isobars on the chart | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
for the south-west of England | 0:00:47 | 0:00:48 | |
through the English Channel - | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
that means the winds will be stronger here | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
and we saw that weather front there | 0:00:52 | 0:00:53 | |
approaching the north-west corner | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
of Scotland to bring more cloud | 0:00:55 | 0:00:56 | |
and a little rain but otherwise | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
very little cloud on the chart for Wednesday. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
Lots of sunshine, | 0:01:00 | 0:01:01 | |
probably feeling quite a bit warmer as well, | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
widely 14, 15 degrees or so. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
So, for the next few days, | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
with the high pressure over the top of us, | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
there's little or no rain, | 0:01:10 | 0:01:11 | |
it's probably going to get warmer around the middle | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
part of the week but the nights will still be on the chilly side. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:18 | |
Let's look to Thursday and, again, some sunshine, | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
maybe a bit more cloud around | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
but some good spells of sunshine. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
Breezy and thicker cloud | 0:01:24 | 0:01:25 | |
for the far north of Scotland | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
and a stronger breeze still in the south-west | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
and we could see this area of rain | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
beginning to develop towards the end of Thursday. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
And this signals the first change, really, | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
through Thursday night and into Friday, | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
this slow-moving weather front, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
around this area of low pressure, | 0:01:41 | 0:01:42 | |
will slide through the Channel and bring more cloud | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
and outbreaks of rain to | 0:01:45 | 0:01:46 | |
southern England and South Wales. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
Elsewhere, there'll be some sunshine, | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
there'll be a few showers around. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
Notice where the winds are coming from | 0:01:52 | 0:01:53 | |
and with that sort of direction, | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
temperatures in many places | 0:01:55 | 0:01:56 | |
will be struggling to make double figures | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
so it's getting colder. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:00 | |
Now, that area of low pressure | 0:02:00 | 0:02:01 | |
pulls away into the near continent, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
takes the rain away with it | 0:02:03 | 0:02:04 | |
and if we look at the high pressure, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
it's in a different place | 0:02:06 | 0:02:07 | |
by the time we get to the weekend - | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
it's out in the Atlantic so around it, | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
we're drawing down a northerly wind | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
and that's going to draw down the air, | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
possibly all the way from the Arctic | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
and bring with it quite a chill | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
so this is where the temperatures | 0:02:20 | 0:02:21 | |
are starting to drop | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
later on Friday, if not into the weekend, | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
so those are the temperatures on Saturday. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
There'll be some sunshine around | 0:02:28 | 0:02:29 | |
but there'll also be some showers | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
and they could be of a wintry flavour, | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
particularly over the hills, | 0:02:33 | 0:02:34 | |
a bit like we had | 0:02:34 | 0:02:35 | |
at the beginning of last weekend. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
So, this is how we're looking for the weekend | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
with this wedge of cold air across the UK. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
The warmer air not far away | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
but not quite far enough | 0:02:44 | 0:02:45 | |
and not quite close enough to the UK. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
So it looks like it's going | 0:02:48 | 0:02:49 | |
to stay cold throughout next week | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
and there will be some showers. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:52 | |
They could be wintry, particularly over the hills. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
Not bad when the sun is out but there's likely to be some | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
night-time frost as well, that depends on the strength of the wind. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
Quite a shock to the system but it's not that unusual to get sleet | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
and snow falling in April. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:05 | |
This is a Met Office chart, the number of days of sleet | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
and snow falling - the darker colours, | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
this is where we're more likely to get it so over the hills. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
But it's interesting to note it's less likely through | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
the Central Belt of Scotland, southern and most parts of England, | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
mainly because there's a northerly wind, | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
but also around the Fens - that's a little interesting - | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
but it could be that this colder air | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
and this threat of sleet and snow | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
falling may continue even into May. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
Goodbye. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 |
