Thanks for joining me.

Time to have a look at the weather for the next week or so.

0:00:030:00:07

And 1st August wasn't a pretty picture across the south of the UK.

0:00:070:00:11

Heavy rain, generally very cloudy.

0:00:110:00:13

This is a picture from Swansea.

0:00:130:00:15

Through the overnight period, it's going to stay overcast,

0:00:150:00:18

wet and very warm. In fact, temperatures in the South

0:00:180:00:21

could even be more than 15 degrees. But after a beautiful, bright day

0:00:210:00:25

across northern half of the UK for a change, Moray here,

0:00:250:00:28

clear skies overnight. So that means early on Tuesday morning,

0:00:280:00:31

in some of the glens of Scotland, temperatures could be as low

0:00:310:00:34

as two degrees. But that's the exception rather than the rule.

0:00:340:00:37

The reason for this big North/South divide is this weather system,

0:00:370:00:40

that's been sliding in off the Atlantic.

0:00:400:00:42

We've got clearer skies across the North. Whereas, in the South,

0:00:420:00:45

through Tuesday, those weather fronts are still marching through,

0:00:450:00:48

bringing us outbreaks of rain. But I think on Tuesday,

0:00:480:00:51

the rain will be just that little bit lighter. So, here it is.

0:00:510:00:53

Nine o'clock in the morning onwards.

0:00:530:00:55

Cloudy with some rain across most of southern England, Wales,

0:00:550:00:59

central England, too. Into Northern Ireland, due for some rain

0:00:590:01:02

in Belfast. And some of that rain

0:01:020:01:04

getting into south-western Scotland, too. But the North and East there,

0:01:040:01:08

in Aberdeenshire looking fairly bright. Eventually, that rain

0:01:080:01:11

will reach Scotland.

0:01:110:01:12

All of us through Tuesday night into Wednesday will have

0:01:120:01:16

a further dose of rain and still very mild.

0:01:160:01:19

Mild south-westerly winds. Muggy air. 17 degrees across the South.

0:01:190:01:23

15 there across Yorkshire.

0:01:230:01:25

Now, Wednesday, winds will be freshening for sure.

0:01:250:01:28

This area of low pressure swings in off the Atlantic.

0:01:280:01:30

Quite a few isobars. There, you can count them.

0:01:300:01:33

One, two, three, four, five.

0:01:330:01:34

And so stronger winds, I think, for Northern Ireland,

0:01:340:01:37

the Irish Sea, Wales, into the South as well.

0:01:370:01:40

In fact, quite breezy right across the UK.

0:01:400:01:43

And plenty of showers as well.

0:01:430:01:45

The best of the weather will be across East Anglia and the

0:01:450:01:48

South East, down to the Isle of Wight.

0:01:480:01:50

The London, temperatures could get up to 25 degrees.

0:01:500:01:53

Now, that low-pressure will be sliding away. It will take time.

0:01:530:01:56

A painful process. It will eventually end up in Scandinavia.

0:01:560:01:59

But on Thursday, it's still close to northern and eastern areas

0:01:590:02:03

of the UK. So here, I think with low-pressure in charge,

0:02:030:02:06

still showers forming. The far south and south-east by just about get

0:02:060:02:10

away with the mostly dry weather.

0:02:100:02:12

Temperatures will be into the low or mid-20s.

0:02:120:02:15

And then, that low-pressure moves out into Scandinavia. This

0:02:150:02:18

high-pressure tries to build in. But we've got more low-pressures

0:02:180:02:21

trying to come our way as well.

0:02:210:02:22

Kind of a battle on Friday between the high-pressure trying to

0:02:220:02:26

build in from the South West and these low-pressure systems

0:02:260:02:29

with weather fronts nibbling on north-western areas of the UK.

0:02:290:02:33

Now, the trend for the weekend is for

0:02:330:02:36

a nasty area of low pressure to develop between Iceland and

0:02:360:02:39

our neighbourhood, sending strong winds into north-western areas.

0:02:390:02:43

High-pressure in the South means it will be a lot more settled but a potential for gales I think,

0:02:430:02:48

around the coasts of Ireland and western parts of Scotland.

0:02:480:02:52

Unseasonably windy.

0:02:520:02:53

And into next week, it does look as though that Jetstream will keep

0:02:530:02:57

sending in low pressures, weather fronts into north-western areas.

0:02:570:03:00

Whereas, high-pressure will be in charge of the weather in the South.

0:03:000:03:04

To summarise next week, breezy with some rain in the North West.

0:03:040:03:08

Whereas in the South, it is going to be relatively dry.

0:03:080:03:11

So, basically, our standard summer.

0:03:110:03:13

Now, we are relatively confident that from around the middle

0:03:130:03:16

of August onwards, things are going to be settling down and we will see

0:03:160:03:19

some warmer weather coming in from the south as high-pressure builds.

0:03:190:03:23

So it does look as though summer is certainly not over yet.

0:03:230:03:27

We do try in the Weather Centre.
