Hello there. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:03 | |
It's time for an extended look at the weather for the next week | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
and a little bit beyond that as well. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
We start off looking out into the Atlantic at the jet stream, | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
that fast-flowing ribbon of air in the upper atmosphere which | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
tends to drive our weather systems. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
So when it is quite flat like this it'll be often bringing | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
a series of weather systems to our shores. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
So it looks like it'll be fairly changeable, | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
at least in the short term. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:24 | |
We certainly start off quite wet and quite windy across | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
Northern Ireland, Wales, in the south-west of England. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
A bit brighter east of the Pennines. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:30 | |
Some bright spells developing in the north-east of Scotland. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
East of the Pennines it will tend to cloud over. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
Dribs and drabs of rain by the afternoon. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:36 | |
We'll hang onto some sunny spells in the north-east of Scotland. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
In spite of that sunshine, | 0:00:39 | 0:00:40 | |
only seven degrees in Aberdeenshire but it is a mild 15 in the | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
London area and still some outbreaks of rain out towards the west. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
It stays pretty breezy, | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
pretty cloudy through Saturday night on into Sunday. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
Further outbreaks of rain across the north and west of the UK. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
But it's going to be relatively mild by Sunday morning. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
We've got temperatures in double figures for many and even in | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
northern Scotland it's around about four or five degrees. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
That's because we're in a warm sector which will drift its | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
way a little bit further eastwards during the day on Sunday. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
These weather fronts will be slipping their way | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
a little bit further south as well. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:11 | |
Notice a lot of isobars in the charts. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
It's another windy day on Sunday | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
with cloud for many places and outbreaks of rain, | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
mainly in the north and west. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
I think that rain will move away from southern Scotland into | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
the afternoon so a reasonable afternoon across the bulk of | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
Scotland but in northern England, parts of Wales, maybe into | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
the south-west, fairly wet through the afternoon. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
The south-east stays essentially dry, relatively mild. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
14 or 15 degrees. It's round about ten degrees in the Glasgow area. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
Now, as we go through Sunday night on into Monday, | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
still a lot of isobars on the charts and we've still got | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
this weather front draped across more southern parts of the UK. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
So it'll be another breezy day on Monday. Quite cloudy. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
Some breaks in the east of Scotland and the north-east of England | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
of England but, generally speaking, a lot of cloud. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
Rain across the southernmost counties, | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
scattered showers into the north and west and temperatures beginning | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
to dip back down in the north and west, back into single figures. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
And that is a trend as we go through into Tuesday. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
Low pressure to the north and west of the UK. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
Winds coming around, certainly a cold wind and the wind will | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
still be quite strong during the day on Tuesday. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
A chilly start but a bright and breezy start for many. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
Scattered showers are likely to develop and temperatures for | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
many places by this stage will be in single figures. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
Only six or seven degrees for Glasgow and for Newcastle. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
So, Tuesday into Wednesday, | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
we've still got low pressure in charge of our weather. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
This rather slow-moving weather front drifting its way across | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
England and Wales, moving from west to east. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
You might even see a bit of wintry weather | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
over the tops of the Pennines. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:35 | |
That rain drifts its way eastwards and notice again many places are in | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
single figures so certainly a cooler feel to things early next week. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
And then looking beyond that it gets a bit difficult, really. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
Different computer models are doing different things but the most | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
likely scenario at the moment is that we have high pressure | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
dominating across much of the UK. Low pressure to the south. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
The resulting winds will be coming in from the east so quite | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
a chilly breeze for some and rain is likely in between those. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
However, that high might slip a little further south, | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
introducing more of a southerly breeze and, with low pressure | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
to the north-west, that's where we'll see most of the rain. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
However, it looks as if high pressure will be the dominant force | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
across the bulk of the UK, even on into next weekend, | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
which will keep things dry for the most part and for most places | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
the winds will be quite light. Temperature wise, | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
it should be quite pleasant by day but still quite chilly by night. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
Gardeners take note because there could well be | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
some fairly widespread frost. Bye for now. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 |
