Hello. The cold weather that's going to arrive in the next few days | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
will be a real shock to the system, | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
especially when you consider what we've had | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
over the past few days, | 0:00:11 | 0:00:12 | |
with the warmest day of the year so far - | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
19 degrees in west Wales. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
Not as much sunshine on Thursday. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
Cloud continues to spill up from the southwest, | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
not too threatening just yet. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
Eventually, it will bring some rain. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
A few spots of rain in the north of Scotland. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
The sunniest skies will be for Northern Ireland | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
and northern England. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
Not as sunny in the south as it was on Wednesday. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
There's still some warmth out there, | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
but compare that with Friday - | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
temperatures really taking a tumble, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
by as much as 6 degrees in the case of Newcastle and Birmingham. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
Two reasons for that - | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
that thickening cloud, this time bringing rain | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
into the south-west, | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
possibly pushing into the south-east, | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
the Midlands and Wales. | 0:00:58 | 0:00:59 | |
To the north there'll be sunshine, | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
but the wind direction is changing here | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
and we're dragging down northerly winds. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
The big change, because high pressure | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
that is right now over the UK, | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
by Friday will be out in the Atlantic | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
and as it sits over there, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
it means we will draw down these northerly winds. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:20 | |
By the time we get into the weekend | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
they may bring down air from the Arctic. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
It is going to feel colder this weekend, | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
particularly in the stronger winds | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
down the eastern side of the UK, | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
and this is where we'll find most of the showers. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
There could be hail, sleet and snow | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
almost anywhere because the air will be that cold. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
As we head into Sunday, | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
again the chance of showers, | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
a few coming off the Irish Sea, | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
but the bulk of the showers | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
down the eastern side of England, | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
where temperatures are struggling | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
to make 7 or 8 degrees. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
And for the first time in the history of the London Marathon, | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
there's the chance of some wintry showers. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
It's certainly going to feel cold | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
and it could be quite blowy as well. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
Challenging conditions are ahead. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
Let's look at the bigger picture. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
This is where all our weather is coming from. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
You can follow the isobars from the north. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
Again, high pressure to the west of us, | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
low pressure to the east, | 0:02:17 | 0:02:18 | |
so that brings down the winds from the north. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
On Monday, there'll be sunshine and showers, | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
those showers could be rather wintry. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
Maybe Monday not quite as cold | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
in the south and west, | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
but we'll find another surge | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
of colder air into next week, | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
those northerly winds bringing down | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
the cold from the Arctic once again. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
And if we put on top of that | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
the jet stream, | 0:02:43 | 0:02:44 | |
we've got this pattern again. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
We looked at that yesterday. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:48 | |
This is a pattern | 0:02:48 | 0:02:49 | |
that is not really going to change. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
It's likely to be with us | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
right the way through next week, | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
so we'll stay in the colder air. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
Maximum temperatures at this time of year | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
should be about 13, maybe 15 degrees. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
This is what we'll see | 0:03:03 | 0:03:04 | |
throughout next week - | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
a drop of some 2 to 4 degrees. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
This is likely to be the longest spell | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
of below-average temperatures | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
that we've had for an awful long time. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
Next week will feel cold | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
in the northerly winds, | 0:03:18 | 0:03:19 | |
there could be frost at night. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
Not too bad if you're in the sunshine | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
but those showers are likely to be of a wintry flavour. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
Perhaps the beginning of May | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
sees temperatures rising back to normal. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 |
