Hello. This time of year, if you're in shelter with | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
plenty of sunshine, it'll start to | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
feel quite warm - dare I say it? - almost spring-like, | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
and that's exactly what we had in western areas on Wednesday, | 0:00:08 | 0:00:12 | |
plenty of sunshine, | 0:00:12 | 0:00:13 | |
a glorious sunset in parts of Wales after a glorious day. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:17 | |
But it was a different story further east - plenty of cloud. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
It was cold and grey for most of the day, and it looks likely that | 0:00:20 | 0:00:25 | |
the cloud and the cold feel will win out over the next few days. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
But with that sunshine out to the west, temperatures responded - | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
11 degrees under the cloud. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
With the strength of the breeze coming in off that cold North Sea, | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
we barely saw temperatures above three or four Celsius. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
And, as I say, it looks as though that cloud is likely to be the story | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
for the remainder of this week, | 0:00:43 | 0:00:44 | |
and it's going to feel noticeably colder out there. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
Winter has not gone away, | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
and some of those showers will be of sleet and snow, | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
chiefly to higher ground but maybe even a dusting at lower levels, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
all due to an area of high pressure in Scandinavia | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
driving in this colder flow across that cold North Sea, | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
and so most of the showers are likely to be across the east coast, | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
showers of rain and sleet perhaps close to the coast, | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
but come just further inland and add a little bit of height, | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
there will be some wintry sleet and snow showers to come. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
Further west, there'll be more cloud on Thursday drifting across to the | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
west coast, and so temperatures not quite as great, two to four Celsius. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:25 | |
We might see six or seven | 0:01:25 | 0:01:26 | |
in the extreme south-west and the Channel Isles. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
Now, as we move out of Thursday into Friday, there's a greater | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
chance of some of those showers just penetrating | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
a little further inland, so we could see a couple of centimetres or | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
so to higher ground and a dusting at lower levels. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
But not much change in the pressure pattern - | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
the high pressure still with us on Friday and still running the risk | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
of further showers across eastern Scotland and eastern England. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
A cloudy, cold day to come on Friday. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
Factor in the strength of the wind, as well, | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
and it is going to feel pretty dismal out there. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
You'll need to wrap up warm. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:00 | |
Friday looks likely to be the coldest day of the week, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
two to four, maybe five degrees if we're lucky. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
Not much change for the start of the weekend, either. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
Further east, you're always running the risk of seeing | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
a wintry mix of showers to come, a breezy day, | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
a cloudy day and temperatures really struggling. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
So, yes, you will need a couple of extra layers if you're out | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
and about for any length of time as those temperatures on your | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
thermometer probably sitting around four or five degrees. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
It may feel even colder. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
Sunday a different day, but the same old shade of grey. A lot of cloud. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
It's going to stay largely dry, | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
rather breezy and again feeling quite cold. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
But as we go into Monday, Tuesday, this area of low pressure looks | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
likely to try to spill some milder air and some wetter weather | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
with it, but the high pressure starts to sink south. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
That's going to really push that area of low pressure out of the way. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
It's a real bully, and it's going to strengthen the winds, | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
which will be quite important. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
So, we start off the early part of next week with | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
a high across Scandinavia, this easterly flow. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
As the high then sinks south, | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
it's going to centre itself potentially close to the Alps, | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
and that's going to drag in the strength of the wind, | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
but coming from a southerly direction. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
Now, if this was the summer, we'd have glorious warmth and | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
sunshine to go with it, but don't get too excited. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
But it does mean that there's a potential for a change in the story. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
We could see some breezier weather, yes, but milder with it, | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
and because the high pressure's still in that driving seat, | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
it does look likely to stay mostly dry. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
More from me over the next couple of days. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 |
