Hello. So far with this week's weather,

0:00:000:00:03

we've been on a little bit of a rollercoaster ride of temperatures.

0:00:030:00:06

No two days the same.

0:00:060:00:08

One morning we're greeted with cold,

0:00:080:00:10

frosty weather conditions just like Thursday.

0:00:100:00:14

A beautiful start, but bitterly cold with temperatures down to -8.

0:00:140:00:18

This Friday, it was a different story, all change,

0:00:180:00:21

milder air flooding in from the west.

0:00:210:00:23

It brought cloudier conditions for most of us

0:00:230:00:25

and some outbreaks of rain.

0:00:250:00:26

That rain will continue to push in from the west accompanied by

0:00:260:00:30

a strengthening south-westerly breeze driving in milder air.

0:00:300:00:33

Ahead of it, after a chilly start, it looks as though we'll

0:00:330:00:36

cling on to some sunshine across the south-east during daylight hours.

0:00:360:00:39

Here, still on the chilly side, with 4 or 5 degrees.

0:00:390:00:42

Up into the north-west behind that weather front,

0:00:420:00:45

milder air starts to push through.

0:00:450:00:47

It's going to be the milder air that wins the story through the weather

0:00:470:00:51

over the weekend, pushing the cold air back into the near continent.

0:00:510:00:54

So, for many of us, we'll see those temperatures slightly above

0:00:540:00:56

average for the time of year,

0:00:560:00:58

once the rain has cleared away.

0:00:580:01:00

It pushes through during the early hours of Saturday morning,

0:01:000:01:03

behind it misty, perhaps some hill fog around first thing.

0:01:030:01:06

A lot of low, grey cloud,

0:01:060:01:08

but not a bad day for many and temperatures will respond.

0:01:080:01:11

A bit more of a breeze up into the north,

0:01:110:01:13

but highs of 6 to 12 degrees is quite likely.

0:01:130:01:17

As we move out of Saturday into Sunday,

0:01:170:01:20

we see this weak weather front pushing into the north-west.

0:01:200:01:22

The winds strengthening here, but on the whole,

0:01:220:01:25

high pressure still very much in the driving seat.

0:01:250:01:28

That means very little in the way of change.

0:01:280:01:30

It looks as though we keep the cloudy conditions.

0:01:300:01:32

Early morning mist and fog could be an issue for a time,

0:01:320:01:35

but not for long. That will lift away.

0:01:350:01:38

It stays rather dull, largely dry,

0:01:380:01:40

the cloud thick enough for a spot of drizzle from time to time.

0:01:400:01:43

All change though as we move into Monday,

0:01:430:01:46

so make the most of the weekend's weather.

0:01:460:01:48

Milder for many, a lot of cloud around and the cloud thick

0:01:480:01:51

enough from time to time for some patchy drizzle.

0:01:510:01:54

So the first change comes into Monday as we see some wetter

0:01:540:01:58

and windier weather pushing in from the north-west.

0:01:580:02:01

The isobars squeezing together. Gales are quite likely.

0:02:010:02:04

Some of that rain could be quite heavy as it pushes into the

0:02:040:02:07

north-west of the country slowly sinking its way steadily south.

0:02:070:02:11

So it's going to be a wet and windy, but a mild affair during Monday.

0:02:110:02:14

Again, staying largely dry during daylight hours with double

0:02:140:02:17

figures widely across the country.

0:02:170:02:19

Something a little bit cooler

0:02:190:02:20

and fresher starts to show its hand as we move out of Monday.

0:02:200:02:24

The isobars are still tightly packed together,

0:02:240:02:27

the wind swinging round to a more north-westerly direction

0:02:270:02:30

before the next area of low pressure moves in.

0:02:300:02:32

This is going to be the general trend as we move through next week.

0:02:320:02:36

So, we've been looking at a six to ten-day forecast of the jet stream.

0:02:360:02:40

We now have associated that it is strengthening and sitting up

0:02:400:02:42

to the far north and that's allowing these low pressure systems to

0:02:420:02:46

move in from the Atlantic.

0:02:460:02:47

Things turning a little more mobile, a little more unsettled.

0:02:470:02:51

If we look at a low in a little more detail, though,

0:02:510:02:53

as the low approaches, it drives in and it pulls in this milder air.

0:02:530:02:57

But then, as the low clears away on the back edge of that low,

0:02:570:03:01

we see a north-westerly flow.

0:03:010:03:03

The colder air set to return.

0:03:030:03:05

This is why we're getting this rollercoaster feel of temperatures.

0:03:050:03:09

One day will be cloudy and often wet at times and that's likely

0:03:090:03:13

into the six to ten-day period.

0:03:130:03:15

But as the low pulls away, we'll see that colder air digging in.

0:03:150:03:18

So it will be on the chilly side, but hopefully from time to time

0:03:180:03:21

we'll get a little more in the way of sunshine.

0:03:210:03:24

That's how it's looking.

0:03:240:03:25

Whatever you are doing this weekend,

0:03:250:03:27

enjoy and bear in mind things turn unsettled next week.
