Hello there. I've been trying desperately hard | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
to find you some settled summer sunshine, | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
but it looks as though summer 2016 remains changeable. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
No two days the same. Take, for example, this week. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
On Tuesday, we had some sunshine and some warmth. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
Beautiful across the western Highlands of Scotland. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
Further south, it was cloudy, dull and damp, but on Wednesday, | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
it was central and southern England and Wales that had the sunshine. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
Yes, it was windy, but further north and west | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
under that area of low pressure, | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
it was wet, windy and miserable. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
The low is starting to drift off into the North Sea | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
and that will bring a quieter spell of weather | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
for a couple of days at least. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
Now, the winds will swing round to a north-westerly direction. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
That will make it feel just that little bit fresher. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
We still run the risk of a few showers. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
Some of them possibly thundery, | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
but hopefully quite isolated | 0:00:47 | 0:00:48 | |
with highs likely of 14 to 22 Celsius. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
As we move out of Thursday into Friday, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
a little bump of high-pressure continues to build | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
and quieten things down from the West. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
So Friday will look predominantly dry. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
This little fellow bringing some showers in by the end of the day, | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
but not a bad day in prospect. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
A few showers first thing in sheltered eastern areas. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
The sunshine builds, it will be a nice day and with light winds, | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
it will feel quite pleasant in the sun. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
By the end of the day, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
a scattering of showers to the north-west, | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
but highs again of 14 to 23 degrees. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
By the time we move towards the weekend, | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
there is still a level of uncertainty for the weekend | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
because we've got this high-pressure | 0:01:24 | 0:01:25 | |
building from the south-west. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
That again is the Azores' high. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:28 | |
It's going to introduce this humid air again, | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
but at the same time, | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
low pressure moving in from the north-west and it's using | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
the UK as the battleground and there is still some uncertainty | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
as to how much impact that area | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
of low pressure is going to have. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
So on Saturday, there'll be a good deal of dry, sunny weather and warm. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
24 degrees in the far south-east. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
The low pressure will eventually bring some wet and windy weather | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
into the extreme north and west. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
As it drifts its way South and East, it weakens. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
A band of cloud potentially by then, but on Sunday, | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
it could still produce the threat of some showers | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
and a disappointing feel. To the south-east however, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
there is a chance of it turning very warm indeed. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
25 degrees plus, so still a lot to play for on Sunday. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
But the weekend is not a write-off | 0:02:11 | 0:02:12 | |
and these are my favoured spots | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
if you're thinking of taking the kids off to the beach for the day. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
Very nice indeed, particularly the further east you are. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
But if you're heading off to Barry, make the most of it because | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
by Monday, we could see a return to some wet and windy weather | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
starting to push into Wales and the south-west. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
That will move its way south and east, | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
East Anglia and the south-east staying dry and sunny. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
So what's happening to our weather? | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
Well, in recent days and weeks, we've had this jet stream | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
and that's been sitting across the country. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
Fast-moving jet, | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
it's brought areas of low pressure | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
and a cooler snap before the amplification dips further south | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
and we see that warmer air returning. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
Now, as we move into next week, | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
it looks as though the jet stream slows a little | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
and the amplification becomes more animated, | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
more enhanced. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:58 | |
And when that happens, | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
it's quite tricky for computer models to get a handle | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
on the detail in the story. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
At the moment, into next week, it looks as though this area of | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
low pressure will sit into the North Sea with high-pressure | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
out to the West and that's going to drive in this cooler northerly flow. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
We could still keep some dry weather | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
particularly down to the South, | 0:03:16 | 0:03:17 | |
but it looks as though the temperatures will start | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
to tumble, unseasonably cool really for this time of year | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
and we could see some rain | 0:03:23 | 0:03:24 | |
particularly the further north you are. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
Still a lot to play for and, of course, | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
we'll firm up on the details. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:30 |
