Hello. Welcome. The weather's going to take on

0:00:020:00:05

a completely different complexion,

0:00:050:00:06

but at the moment, well, it feels like summer out there,

0:00:060:00:09

with long sunny spells, blue skies...

0:00:090:00:12

Mind you, humidity is high,

0:00:120:00:14

and it's that combination of heat and humidity

0:00:140:00:17

which in some places is sparking some thunderstorms.

0:00:170:00:20

We saw some on Monday, we're going to see some scattered around the UK

0:00:200:00:23

over the next few days. Very localised, very hit-and-miss,

0:00:230:00:26

but if you catch one, yes, it could be quite nasty.

0:00:260:00:28

In fact, the odd storm

0:00:280:00:29

first thing in the morning across the south-east.

0:00:290:00:32

These will tend to fade away,

0:00:320:00:33

but some showers further north and west across the UK,

0:00:330:00:36

and although many of us will have a lot of fine, dry, sunny weather,

0:00:360:00:40

showers will develop more widely come the afternoon.

0:00:400:00:43

Now, nailing down exactly where these storms are going to occur

0:00:430:00:46

is a bit of a job.

0:00:460:00:48

So take this map... not too literally.

0:00:480:00:51

Shows the potential for scattered showers and thunderstorms

0:00:510:00:54

through the afternoon. Many of us will avoid these,

0:00:540:00:56

but if you catch one, it'll be quite torrential -

0:00:560:00:59

some hail, some gusty winds,

0:00:590:01:00

the possibility of some flash flooding as well.

0:01:000:01:03

Lot of warmth out there, slightly higher temperatures than on Monday

0:01:030:01:06

across central and eastern areas.

0:01:060:01:07

Still cool around the north-eastern coast of Scotland

0:01:070:01:10

but inland, with that heat and humidity,

0:01:100:01:12

yes, some nasty thunderstorms. Up over the high ground, mostly,

0:01:120:01:15

but they'll drift into populated areas as well, I think,

0:01:150:01:18

as we head into the evening time.

0:01:180:01:20

So if you are on the move, watch out for the potential of thunderstorms,

0:01:200:01:23

the possibility of some flash flooding.

0:01:230:01:26

Check out your BBC local radio station for travel disruption.

0:01:260:01:29

So these showers rumbling on into the night

0:01:290:01:31

and the odd one could continue into Wednesday morning, in actual fact.

0:01:310:01:35

The potential for further showers around, but some warm sunshine too.

0:01:350:01:39

Probably fewer showers by Thursday,

0:01:390:01:41

temperatures just beginning to ease down a touch.

0:01:410:01:43

Still some humidity out there through Wednesday and Thursday,

0:01:430:01:46

but it's not going to last forever.

0:01:460:01:48

Fresher conditions trying to come in off the Atlantic.

0:01:480:01:51

The catch is, with those fresher conditions,

0:01:510:01:53

we'll also see some fairly active weather fronts and they'll start to

0:01:530:01:57

push in our direction just in time for the weekend.

0:01:570:02:00

In fact, Friday is the switchover day, really -

0:02:000:02:02

a very different look to the weather chart on Friday.

0:02:020:02:05

A lot more cloud around. Bands of rain pushing in from the west,

0:02:050:02:07

and we could see some fairly prolonged wet weather

0:02:070:02:10

up and down the UK. Again, don't take this chart too literally,

0:02:100:02:13

but it gives us the potential for some heavy rain,

0:02:130:02:15

and temperatures will be lower for many of us than they have been.

0:02:150:02:18

On into the weekend, then. Bands of rain pushing in from the south-west.

0:02:180:02:23

Some drier spells in between, some pleasant sunshine,

0:02:230:02:26

but don't rely on that sunshine, because further showers,

0:02:260:02:29

longer spells of rain could well develop later on in the day.

0:02:290:02:32

I'm going to take you down to Florida,

0:02:320:02:35

where we have Tropical Storm Colin, the third named storm of the season.

0:02:350:02:39

It's bringing a lot of heavy rain into Florida as I speak.

0:02:390:02:42

Now, the track of Colin is going to be quite interesting

0:02:420:02:45

over the next few days. It's going to push up the Eastern Seaboard

0:02:450:02:48

and then into the Atlantic. It will no longer be a tropical storm,

0:02:480:02:51

but it's going to inject a lot of energy into the Atlantic

0:02:510:02:54

and into the jet stream in particular.

0:02:540:02:56

So the jet stream is going to start to liven up

0:02:560:02:58

as we head toward the weekend and indeed beyond.

0:02:580:03:01

In fact, next week it's going to be tracking its way to the south of us,

0:03:010:03:05

so we're going to be on the northern side, the cool side of that,

0:03:050:03:08

and this little dip in the jet stream,

0:03:080:03:10

we're going to get an area of low pressure

0:03:100:03:12

pretty much lodged slap-bang on top of us.

0:03:120:03:15

A slow-moving area of low pressure. What does that mean?

0:03:150:03:17

Certainly cooler. We're all going to see some wet weather at times,

0:03:170:03:20

some of that quite heavy. There will be some drier spells,

0:03:200:03:23

but certainly not the sort of drier spells that you can rely upon.

0:03:230:03:26

We'll give you another update again tomorrow.
