Hello, there. | 0:00:00 | 0:00:02 | |
Most of March so far has been pretty mild with fairly mild nights. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
Not many places have seen frost in the past few weeks, | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
but that's all set to change. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
In fact, the early spring flowers are in for a bit of | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
a shock as we're going to see much colder air moving in across | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
the country, to bring some wintry showers to many | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
and also overnight frosts. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
That cold air will be pushing in from the north-west right | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
across the UK and will also bring with it plenty of showers, | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
but there will be some sunshine in between those showers. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
For Monday, it looks like it will be | 0:00:30 | 0:00:31 | |
quite a wet affair across England and Wales, | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
with a weather front slowly pushing eastwards, | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
the rain becoming confined towards the south-eastern quadrant. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
Behind it, though, much cooler, fresher air, but bright with some | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
sunshine, showers turning increasingly wintry across | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland, mainly over the high ground. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
Temperatures here will be in single figures, | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
the last of the double digits across the south-east. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
That rain clears away and a cold air plunges in its place | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
during the course of Monday night. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:56 | |
Plenty of showers moving into the north and the west. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
These will be wintry over the hills, even down to lower levels. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
We could even see some problems with ice first thing on Tuesday | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
and it will be a cold night across the board. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
Now into Tuesday, low pressure always nearby, | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
fairly tightly packed isobars so it's going to be a blustery day, | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
lots of showers piling into northern and western areas, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
but we do start off on a cold and a widespread frost across | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
the country, but bright with some sunshine for many central, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
southern and eastern areas. Showers from the word go | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
across the north-west corner with an early ice risk. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
Those showers also pushing towards Wales and the West Country | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
could even see some snow over the higher ground of Wales and | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
the moors and the tors of the south-west, | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
even down to lower levels across Scotland and Northern Ireland, | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
where it will feel really cold, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:40 | |
but widespread temperatures in single figures. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
On into Wednesday, low pressure is still with us for much of | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
central and southern parts of the UK, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
so we'll see quite a lot of cloud at times, fairly strong winds, too. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
Looks like it will be fairly damp across many central and | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
southern parts of Britain, with some more persistent rain here, | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
but a cold start again for Scotland and Northern Ireland. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
A little bit of frost around, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:02 | |
but some sunshine through the day and, again, a cold feel to | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
things, particularly when you add on a fairly strong north-easterly wind. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
Low pressure is still with us as we head towards Thursday, | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
bringing a lot of cloud to England and Wales, | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
perhaps a little bit further north as well. Like I mentioned, | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
that north-easterly wind will make it feel quite raw in the north, | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
where it will start off on a cold note once again. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
Some of this rain will have some snow over the high ground of | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
England and Wales. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
On into Friday, this area of low pressure begins to ebb | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
a little bit further southwards and allows high pressure to | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
topple in across the north and begin to build in for many central | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
and northern areas. It looks like for Friday, a north-south split, | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
northern areas, a cold, frosty start, maybe a severe frost | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
in places, but dry with some brightness, staying damp | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
through central and southern areas with some rain and maybe | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
signs of temperatures just wanting to rise just that little bit. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:53 | |
Now, the scenario into next week and, in fact, beyond, | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
potentially into the start of April, | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
is for high-pressure to dominate much of the country. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
Low pressure to the south with a zone of | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
maybe cloudier, damp weather across southern areas, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
so this will be the set-up, with many northern areas starting off | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
cold, frosty with light winds and some sunshine. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
Towards the south, though, cloudier skies with outbreaks of rain, | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
so for the north, largely dry thanks to that high-pressure. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
The nights, though, | 0:03:16 | 0:03:17 | |
will be chilly with a continuation of overnight frost. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
In the south, generally cloudy with some rain and always more of | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
a breeze in the south, which will be coming in from the east, | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
so winter is set to bite back. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 |
