09/07/2016 Weather for the Week Ahead

Hello there. If you're hoping I'm going to tell you we're going to

have some prolonged warm, dry, settled weather,

you're probably going to be out of luck.

No significant changes in our weather.

The warm, dry, settled weather is with this high pressure.

It's across a good part of France and across Spain.

Instead, our weather is going to be dominated

again by areas of low pressure.

The one that's arriving on Saturday is a bit deeper,

so the winds are a bit stronger, and it's bringing outbreaks of rain,

particularly across Wales, northern England.

Showers or longer spells of rain for Scotland and Northern Ireland,

probably drying up across the south-east, the Midlands,

East Anglia, as well, and here we've got some very warm

and humid air. Temperatures could get into the mid-twenties.

Further north, about 19 or 20 is going to be fairly typical.

Some rain as we head into the evening,

and this band of rain here will start to ease its way towards

the south-east later on Saturday night into Sunday morning,

showers coming back into Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Another very warm one, especially for England and Wales.

A humid start to the second half of the weekend.

Our area of low pressure seems to be sitting to the north-west of the UK.

That weather from there is producing a little rain or

drizzle across the south-east, East Anglia on Sunday morning.

It should clear in time for the start of Wimbledon,

but there could be some showers following on behind that

across England and Wales. Blustery winds, too.

Not bad if you get the sunshine, reasonable temperatures.

Cooler for Scotland and Northern Ireland, especially in the west of

Scotland and Northern Ireland, where we'll find showers or longer

spells of rain because we're closer to that area of low pressure.

The centre of that low pressure will start to drift towards England and

Wales on Monday, so essentially it's right over the top of the country.

Around the southern flank of that low pressure we'll have some

stronger winds across South Wales, southern England,

but, as you can see, there'll be widespread showers.

In the south they'll move fairly quickly. They'll still be heavy.

Further north across the UK, where the winds are lighter,

the showers will be slow-moving and could linger for quite some time,

and the possibility of some localised flooding, perhaps.

Still quite a few showers to come on Tuesday, as well,

especially for eastern Scotland and for a while across eastern England.

Showers much fewer and further between.

It may well be dry towards the south-west

and across Northern Ireland, too.

We've got this slightly cooler - "fresher," probably a better term -

north-westerly air flow as we head into the middle of the week.

Keeping an eye on that area of low pressure.

Probably not going to reach us on Wednesday.

Instead, there'll be some sunshine around.

Probably more showers in the south this time on Wednesday,

and temperatures won't be quite as high.

We're looking at around 16 to 19 degrees.

That's not too clever for this time of the year.

That low pressure I mentioned looks like it's going to steer

its way to the south of the UK, and all eyes on this high pressure.

We need that to build in to give us any prolonged dry weather.

And it's been delayed, in fact.

I'm not sure how much of it is going to arrive.

We've got a big low pressure coming in from the Atlantic.

And with the jet stream later in the week into next weekend

in this position again, we're just going to steer low pressures

close to the UK, particularly towards the north-west of the UK.

So we'll probably end up with more of a north/south split, if you like,

later in the week into the weekend.

It'll be a drier start with that brief ridge of high pressure.

Wetter, windier weather across the north, always going to be that bit

warmer in the south, where it should be drier from time to time

and maybe a little humid from time to time, as well.

But essentially, the weather is staying very

unsettled for the foreseeable future. Goodbye.
