15/06/2016 Weather for the Week Ahead

Hello. We've had some pretty lively whether over the past few days.

On Tuesday, heavy thunderstorms brought scenes

a bit like the one behind me taken in Birmingham.

So flash flooding was reported.

We could see similar scenes over the next couple of days,

with more of those torrential showers in the forecast.

Now, this is how Wednesday is shaping up.

We start the day already with quite a few showers.

Heavy and thundery ones developing

across central and southern parts of the England and Wales, too.

Some areas staying dry.

For instance, towards the far south-east.

Quite a bit of brightness around.

And also for parts of North Wales, perhaps towards Northern Ireland.

Some sunshine, too.

Northern and eastern Scotland will see quite a lot of cloud

and outbreaks of rain lasting really

through much of the day on Wednesday.

Then moving through Wednesday night and on into Thursday,

well, the heavy showers tend to ease for a time,

but we will stick with the showery theme.

And that rain across Scotland edges further south

into parts of northern England.

Quite cloudy and drizzly along the eastern coast of England for a time,

as we move through into Thursday.

Now, Thursday, again, a day of sunshine and showers.

Down to the fact that we've got this slow-moving area of low pressure,

which is just churning away

across central and southern parts of the country

through much of this week.

So for Thursday, spot the difference.

Sunshine and showers across England and Wales.

Some of these showers, once again, heavy and thundery.

There could well be lying surface water,

perhaps even a chance of further flash flooding.

Now, the north and Northern Ireland

seeing some dry and some bright weather,

although Scotland will stay cloudy with outbreaks of rain,

particularly in the north and east, where it will feel quite chilly.

But further south, 21 Celsius between those showers.

So it certainly won't be raining all the time.

It's a mix of sunshine and showers.

As we move through the latter part of Thursday and on into Friday now,

that low pressure is starting to ease away towards the south,

starting to fill a bit.

So a subtle change, I think, for the day on Friday.

We draw in a bit more of a northerly breeze.

Still some showers around for the southern half of England

and south Wales, too.

And we've still got further rain

across northern and eastern Scotland.

But elsewhere, some drier and some brighter weather

in between any of those showers.

By the time we get to Saturday, most of the showers will be situated

across eastern and south-eastern parts of the country.

They'll be fairly hit and miss, it looks like,

by the time we get to Saturday.

Some uncertainty on the detail here.

But it looks like higher pressure does build in,

leaving some drier and some brighter weather for many of us.

Lighter winds, too, by the time we get to Saturday.

So I think we lose the intensity to those storms on into the weekend.

And then through Saturday night and into Sunday,

an area of high pressure across much of the country,

bringing a fairly quiet spell of weather.

We've got this front moving in from the north-west

as we head through the day on Sunday.

So much of the country, again, having not a bad day.

Some sunny, some dry weather on Sunday.

Some rain, though, likely to affect parts of Northern Ireland

and particularly the western half of Scotland later in the day.

Ahead of that, in the sunshine, 20 degrees will feel fairly pleasant.

Then looking at the early part of next week,

high pressure likely to sit out somewhere towards the south-west.

We will see areas of low pressure moving in from the Atlantic,

mainly affecting parts of Northern Ireland and perhaps Scotland, too.

Some uncertainty on the detail of where any low pressure will move.

But it looks like through the middle part of next week what we'll see

is the wetter and the windier conditions generally confined

to the north-western half of the country,

whereas towards the south and the east

we're more likely to see some spells of drier and brighter weather.

So to summarise next week for you,

things will remain generally unsettled.

Some brighter, some drier weather,

particularly towards the south and the east,

but still a risk of some heavy and some thundery showers around.

That's how it's looking. We'll keep you up to date right here.

Bye for now.
