Well, thanks for joining me, | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
and it's mostly good news on the weather front today. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
Lots of fine, settled, dry weather | 0:00:07 | 0:00:08 | |
across the south of the country - perhaps not enough rainfall, | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
because our gardens, really, | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
would like a little bit more rain. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
The further north you go, the weather will be more changeable. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
We'll have some spells of rain, | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
a breeze coming off the Atlantic, as well, | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
so, cooler, fresher, | 0:00:22 | 0:00:23 | |
across this part of the world where you'd expect it. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
Now, this is what it looks like across the Atlantic right now - | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
you can see weather patterns swirling around here, | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
so, very busy - in fact, | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
one of these weather systems making its presence felt | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
across the north-west of the UK, | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
and we'll be seeing some of these weather fronts | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
crossing the country through the first part of this week, | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
but it's also very busy down in the tropics - | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
it's the middle of hurricane season, | 0:00:43 | 0:00:44 | |
we've had Hurricane Gaston swirling around | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
above the Atlantic here, not really bothering anybody, | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
but it will be finally making a move northwards, | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
and what happens is, when the remnants of these weather systems | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
get caught up in our normal air streams, here, | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
our normal weather patterns, | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
things tend to get a little bit more disrupted, | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
and forecasting the weather becomes just that little bit more tricky, | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
so that's something that we're going to be watching this week - | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
but in the short term, | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
it's looking great across most of the UK. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
On Tuesday, again, very little in the way of rainfall, | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
turning quite hot, as well. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:16 | |
You can see one weather front here, approaching the UK, | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
but even in Northern Ireland and western parts of Scotland | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
I think it should be dry. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:23 | |
Some of these western coasts, here, at times, | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
will be a little but more cloudy, perhaps murky, | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
off the coasts of Wales and the south-west, | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
but, for most of us, | 0:01:29 | 0:01:30 | |
it's going to be a fine, if not hot, actually, day | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
across the south-east. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:34 | |
Here's Tuesday into Wednesday, | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
so one of these Atlantic weather fronts finally pushes through. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
It's quite a narrow weather front, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:40 | |
so there's not going to be an awfully long spell of rain | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
with it - in fact, by the time it moves into the south-east, | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
it's just a bit of cloud and a few spots of rain - | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
and I think temperatures still just about nudging up | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
into the mid 20s across the south-east - | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
much fresher there with these Atlantic winds | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
in places like Belfast and Glasgow, | 0:01:56 | 0:01:57 | |
and that weather front will continue to make its journey | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
until it completely fizzles out across the south-east | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
and into the Continent, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:03 | |
and then we get this ridge of high pressure, | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
so it's usually between two weather fronts - | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
that's the technical term, "ridge" - | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
and then the next weather front comes through | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
during the course of Thursday, again bringing some rainfall | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
into north-western areas and, you guessed it, | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
the best of the weather | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
will be across eastern and south-eastern areas, | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
here, temperatures up to around about 20 degrees Celsius. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
So, towards the end of the week, | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
it's looking fairly fresh across most of the UK, | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
low pressure here sending further weather fronts in our direction, | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
bit of a breeze, | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
so, I think, a good chance of catching some showers | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
almost anywhere on Friday - | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
but this is more or less how it's looking, | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
and then, from Friday onwards, certainly Saturday, Sunday, | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
that's when things become tricky. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
Remember, I talked about that tropical weather system, there - | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
Hurricane Gaston - so, the thinking is | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
that it will be finally moving northwards, | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
as they usually do, dying a death - | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
but that's not the only one that we're watching, | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
there's a potential for more tropical troublemakers, there. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
One across Florida, | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
and also just another one off the eastern sea. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
All of these will be moving in our direction, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
but particularly this one, Gaston, could disrupt our weather patterns - | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
but I think the bottom line is, | 0:03:09 | 0:03:10 | |
as the remnants of these weather systems move into our latitudes, | 0:03:10 | 0:03:15 | |
they tend to send warmer air in our direction, | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
so, actually, it could turn out to be quite warm - | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
but also unsettled. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:20 | |
I think the best of the weather | 0:03:20 | 0:03:21 | |
will probably remain across south-eastern areas. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
So, for this week, our eyes will be on the horizon, | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
out there into the tropics, and the Atlantic. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
We will keep you posted. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 |
