It was another day where temperatures were really | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
up and down as the heavy showers moved through, | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
and today's showers also contained some thunder and some lightning. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
This picture sums it up quite nicely - | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
some sunshine in the foreground, a big shower in the background. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
And today's showers contained that wintry mix of rain, hail, | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
sleet and some snow. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:21 | |
And we're not done with the wintry weather just yet. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
It's certainly a cold start to the day on Thursday, | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
a widespread frost in more rural areas, | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
then we see this weather front moving into that cold air. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
So, a chilly start to the day. Some sunshine, though. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
A scattering of showers across England and Wales, | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
but mostly of rain by this stage, with sunshine, | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
although clouding over from the west as rain moves | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
away from Northern Ireland and crosses the Irish Sea. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
That rain gets up over the hills of Scotland and starts to turn to snow. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:48 | |
Maybe only five or six degrees in Glasgow, 12 or 13 in London, | 0:00:48 | 0:00:53 | |
but it's through the evening across Scotland where we | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
are concerned about the amount of snow. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
Wintry weather for Northern Ireland, some parts of northern England, | 0:00:57 | 0:01:01 | |
but some of this snow on the eastern side | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
of Scotland could go a bit further north or south. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
But some snow is expected, and over higher ground | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
we could see 10 to 20 centimetres | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
of snow, and that'll be blowing around in those strong winds. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
So some impact more than likely, | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
particularly on the transport network. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
Friday is going to be a blustery day with low pressure in charge, | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
and there is that wintry weather to be had in some parts of eastern | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
Scotland, some wintry showers at times in northern England. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
Head towards the south coast, and here it'll be cloudy, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
breezy with outbreaks of rain. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:30 | |
Parts of the Midlands probably escaping with a largely dry day. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
And some places still firmly in single figures, | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
particularly in the north and west. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
That low driving that wintry weather will drift away | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
towards Scandinavia, and then pressure looks like it'll | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
rise a little bit as we get on to the start of the weekend. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
And of course, it is a long bank-holiday weekend for many, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
with a reasonable start - chilly, yes, but a bright start. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:54 | |
We will see one or two showers dotted around, | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
but most places will enjoy some sunshine, | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
although more cloudy in the north and west. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
And we've got temperatures back into double | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
figures pretty much across the board. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
On into Sunday, and it's a different sort of day in the north | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
and west, because of this weather system bringing some rain with it. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
Quite a few isobars, as well, so the winds picking | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
up on into Sunday, particularly in the north and west. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
However, head further south and east, with the lighter winds, | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
and it's a dry day with some increasingly hazy sunshine. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
It should feel quite pleasant, though, up to around 15 degrees, | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
and even with the rain, elsewhere | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
we've got those temperatures in double figures. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
Bank-holiday Monday itself looks like it'll be a wet and windy one. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
One band of rain will sweep across pretty much all parts of the UK. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
That'll be followed by sunshine and blustery showers, | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
but ahead of that rain we could get 16 or so degrees in the London | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
area, and again, most places are into double figures on Monday. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:47 | |
So, next week, well, we are changing the position of the jet stream. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
It now looks like it'll be a fairly brisk westerly jet stream, | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
which will allow high pressure to build across the south of the UK. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
Low pressure is more likely to bring some wetter | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
and windier weather to the north of the UK at times. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
But with those westerly winds coming in from the Atlantic, | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
we've already seen temperatures in double figures through the weekend, | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
and it looks like into next week those | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
temperatures will be at or maybe even a bit above normal. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
It's certainly going to feel a lot warmer than it is right now. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
On to early May. Temperatures will be rising. That's a positive thing. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
However, it will be quite windy in the north and west of the UK, | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
and that's where most of the rain is likely to be. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
Mostly dry in the south and east. But with those higher temperatures, | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
frosts are certainly a lot less likely early May. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 |
