Hello. The weather pattern this week has favoured England and Wales | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
seeing the highest temperatures, but going to flip this around next week | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
and it's the turn of Scotland and Northern Ireland, as we'll see in | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
a moment. This is how things looked on Friday. More high cloud | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
in the sky, the sunshine hazier as a result, but for England and Wales, | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
those temperatures rose a little higher. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
Northolt in north-west London, 24 Celsius, | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
well, 23.8 to be precise, the UK's highest of the year so far. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
Threave, south-west Scotland, 18. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:28 | |
The rest of Scotland and Northern Ireland lower than that, | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
not yet in the warmer continental air. That's going to change | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
by Sunday. This, though, is Saturday. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
The weather system sneaking up the western side of the UK | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
and for some, here, things are taking a backward step | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
and that means more cloud around. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
From it, as you can see, across western parts, | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
you get some outbreaks of rain, maybe some thundery downpours. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
Into the afternoon, parts of the Midlands running into northern | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
England, the chance for a few intense thunderstorms breaking out, | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
so be aware of that possibility. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
Just as warm in the sunshine in south-east England, | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
while still relatively average | 0:00:59 | 0:01:00 | |
across Scotland and Northern Ireland. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
But going into Sunday, that weather system begins to pull away | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
and we start to draw that warmer continental air further north. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:10 | |
Follow the wind arrows here, it's that warmth that's been coming | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
in from the continent to England and Wales over the past few days. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
Follow the wind arrows, it's finally reaching into Scotland | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
and Northern Ireland on Sunday, | 0:01:19 | 0:01:20 | |
away that is from the immediate east coast where you've got that | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
onshore breeze keeping temperatures down compared with elsewhere. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
Once any early showers and thunderstorms clear | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
away from western parts, you get the sunshine coming out. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
The temperature's starting to head up and on Sunday, finally into | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
western Scotland, into Northern Ireland, a few of us getting into | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
the low 20s. But the highest temperature is on Sunday. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
Look again as they're going to be across the south-east England - | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
26 Celsius is possible. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
Now the set-up into next week is changing things around, | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
because low pressure starts to become more dominant across the | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
southern half of the UK with high-pressure | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
holding on to the north. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
So it is initially on Monday across southern England and south Wales | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
we run the risk of thicker cloud, | 0:01:57 | 0:01:58 | |
getting some outbreaks of rain or thunderstorms, | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
bringing the temperature down a few degrees, whereas for the northern | 0:02:00 | 0:02:04 | |
half of the UK, again away from the cooler east coast, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
you get the best of the sunshine, you get the higher temperatures | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
especially into Northern Ireland and western Scotland. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
That set-up is still around as we go from Monday into Tuesday. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
The area of low pressure, spiralling around it some weather fronts, | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
getting pulses of thundery rain or thundery showers breaking out, | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
perhaps a little bit further north as well on Tuesday, | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
but still the northern half of the UK seeing | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
the best of the weather and the highest temperatures. Again, low 20s | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
for some across western parts of Scotland. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
On Wednesday, it's all shifting a bit further north | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
that chance for showers and thunderstorms, | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
but still relatively high pressure for Scotland | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
and for Northern Ireland, the far north of England. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
So for much of next week, across southern parts, yes, | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
there will be occasional warm sunshine, but temperatures not | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
as high, because at times it'll be cloudier | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
and wetter with some outbreaks of thundery rain. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
Whereas for the northern half of the UK next week - | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
northern England, Northern Ireland, especially into Scotland - you'll | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
maintain plenty of fine weather with high pressure in control | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
and for a change, we'll be hearing about some of the highest | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
temperatures in western Scotland compared with what you always hear, | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
south-east England. This is the forecast that looks further ahead | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
and next weekend it looks like things are going to change. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
I'm going to begin to look towards the Atlantic for our weather again. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
Showers become a little bit more widespread, | 0:03:13 | 0:03:14 | |
that easterly wind keeping eastern coastal parts relatively cool. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
That'll cut off as we look to a westerly, | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
so along the east coast next weekend, | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
temperatures might actually head-up a little bit, | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
whereas elsewhere, it's gradually becoming less warm. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
Still, temperatures close to or perhaps a little bit above | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
the average for the time of year. That's it for now. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 |
