The weather looks interesting as we go towards the bank holiday weekend, | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
bank holiday for most of us, that is, but even before we get | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
there, there's going to be some fun and games in the atmosphere. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
We've got big contrasts right now across the UK - | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
a weather front bringing cloud and rain | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
across Scotland and Northern Ireland | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
during much of Tuesday. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:18 | |
For England and Wales, | 0:00:18 | 0:00:19 | |
a grey, misty, murky start, | 0:00:19 | 0:00:20 | |
but then the sun gets to work | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
and the temperatures really shoot up. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
Where there's the cloud and the rain further north, | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
it's going to be a cool day, | 0:00:26 | 0:00:27 | |
but for England and Wales | 0:00:27 | 0:00:28 | |
and the sunshine in the afternoon, | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
widely into the mid-20s and 30 Celsius is possible | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
in and around London. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
Now, we'll keep the clear skies through Tuesday night | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
across the southern half of the UK. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
That weather front gets going | 0:00:38 | 0:00:39 | |
across southern and eastern Scotland. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
The potential for some big thunderstorms | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
on that weather front | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
still marking the boundary between the warm air | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
and the fresher air, so a comfortable night | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
behind that weather front, | 0:00:49 | 0:00:50 | |
but ahead of it across eastern and southern England, | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
really warm and humid on Tuesday night. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
It may not drop in some towns and cities | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
below 20 Celsius. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
So it's a warm start to Wednesday | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
and potentially with that weather front | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
still in the far north-east, a wet start, | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
but the rain edges away from Shetland. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
Bar a few scattered showers in Western Scotland, | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
Wednesday's a dry day. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:09 | |
A much brighter day for Scotland | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
and in Northern Ireland, | 0:01:11 | 0:01:12 | |
but still a hot one across East Anglia | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
and the south-east. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:15 | |
We're drawing in the hotter air still from the Continent | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
and this weather front is still wriggling around. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
It looks like it's heading away, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
but then we get a little ripple on it on Wednesday night | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
and Thursday and combined with some moisture, | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
heat and moisture means things go bang | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
through the summer months. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
That means thunderstorms potentially developing | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
on Wednesday night and through Thursday. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
It's difficult to say exactly where, | 0:01:36 | 0:01:37 | |
but some places could get torrents of rain. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
A risk that these thunderstorms are quite vicious, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
potentially over the Midlands and northern England, | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
but they could be a little further east or west. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
That is something we'll keep an eye on. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
That weather front still bringing the boundaries, | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
the warm air hanging on across the south-east | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
although potentially not as warm. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
Elsewhere, we're in the high teens or low 20s. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
Now, that weather front still around on Thursday evening, | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
potentially bringing some downpours, | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
but, finally, we say goodbye to it on Friday. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
High pressure toppling in behind for most of us | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
and with the cold front moving through, | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
it will be much fresher across East Anglia | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
and the south-east. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:10 | |
Quite breezy across the north-west, | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
we could see a few showers here, | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
but, for most, Friday is a pretty pleasant day. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
High teens or low 20s and, as I say, | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
you'll notice that cooler feel across the south-east. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
Will the high last for the weekend? | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
Well, it's never that straightforward, is it? | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
Low pressure is edging slowly towards the UK | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
as we go towards Saturday. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
Now, it is edging slowly and the main reason for that is, | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
well, let's look high up in the atmosphere | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
at the jet stream. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
It's in one of its more wiggly phases, | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
shall we say. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:38 | |
It's not particularly strong, | 0:02:38 | 0:02:39 | |
but when we get this pattern | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
with the jet stream, | 0:02:41 | 0:02:42 | |
it means everything tends to move quite slowly | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
and starting off with this area of low pressure | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
edging in from the Atlantic. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:48 | |
As it does so, it may well draw up some warmth | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
for the start of the weekend, | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
particularly across southern parts of the UK. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
So that's how we start the weekend | 0:02:56 | 0:02:57 | |
and then, at some point, | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
the low pressure system will cross the UK. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
Whether it's to the north, | 0:03:01 | 0:03:02 | |
whether it's to the south, | 0:03:02 | 0:03:03 | |
that is open to some doubt, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
but behind it, | 0:03:05 | 0:03:06 | |
high pressure will at least for a time move in, | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
so the things we know about the weekend - | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
there's the potential for some warmth, | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
particularly early on. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:13 | |
There will be a spell of rain for all of us, | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
but exactly when and exactly where | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
we see the heaviest stuff, | 0:03:17 | 0:03:18 | |
we'll have to firm up on that. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
It may then turn drier as we go into Monday | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
before things look like turning back | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
to more changeable conditions | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
as we go further into next week. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
We'll continue to keep you updated. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:29 | |
CHEERING | 0:03:36 | 0:03:37 | |
30 years. We've come a long way, that's for sure. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
Something's not right, Charlie. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 |
