Hello there. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:04 | |
There will be big improvements in the weather later this week, | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
in time for the weekend, | 0:00:07 | 0:00:08 | |
but it has not been a very promising start to the new week. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
This is what we are moving into right now. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
We are seeing some sunshine - all looks quite pleasant - | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
but then the showers come rattling in on a cold wind | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
coming in from the west and north-west. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
We've got colder air coming down across the UK. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
This cold air is what we call polar maritime air. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
It brings with it a lot of showers, | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
those showers increasingly wintry. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
So we are seeing some snow | 0:00:30 | 0:00:31 | |
in Scotland, Northern Ireland, | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
not just on the higher-level routes, | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
and some icy conditions too. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
Some of the snow at lower levels may melt, | 0:00:37 | 0:00:38 | |
but we'll keep snow going over the hills. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
Almost anywhere from mid to late morning onwards | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
could catch a shower. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
Those showers should be wintry in the heavier ones, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
particularly in the west. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:47 | |
There may well be some hail and thunder. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
These are the maximum temperatures. Single figures. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
It will feel colder in the wind | 0:00:52 | 0:00:53 | |
and temperatures will drop sharply | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
in those heavy showers. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:57 | |
We may get an organised spell of not just showers | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
but more rain coming into Wales and the south-west, | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
some slow over the hills. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
But that wetter weather moves northwards | 0:01:04 | 0:01:05 | |
into the very cold air that's in Scotland, | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
so there's the threat of some significant snow. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
Really cold. It could be down to -8 | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
in the Glens of Scotland on Wednesday morning, | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
and the threat of snow across the southern parts | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
of the country, particularly over the hills. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
Maybe some snow across the north-east of England, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
but probably more turning to rain. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:24 | |
A ragged band of rain moving eastwards | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
across into eastern England, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
with sunshine and showers following on behind. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
Another cold day. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:31 | |
Temperatures struggling to get in to double figures - | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
5-7 degrees is going to be much nearer the mark. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
It is a bit of a messy picture as we head into Wednesday | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
and beyond into Thursday. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
We have got these weather fronts on the scene, | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
but they're weakening all the while, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
so Thursday will be drier. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:47 | |
Closer to an area of low pressure, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
we may threaten some rain to come in | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
across central southern England. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
Not much of that wet weather left | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
across southern Scotland and northern England. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
Many places will be dry, | 0:01:57 | 0:01:58 | |
but there will be a wind off the North Sea, | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
and it will feel cold once again. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
But as we head into the end of the week, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
I promised something better. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
We've got pressure building up from the south-west. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
That low is filling, so it is turning drier. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
Weak weather front approaching | 0:02:11 | 0:02:12 | |
the far north-west of Scotland. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
That's not going to do much damage at all. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
The wind will gradually lessen through the day. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
Most places will be dry. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
There will be some sunshine around. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:21 | |
Temperatures should be a little bit higher, | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
just creeping up to 10 or 11 degrees. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
That is because the high pressure is building in. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
It means the winds are turning lighter, | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
and that our high pressure is firmly in charge | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
for the start of the weekend, | 0:02:32 | 0:02:33 | |
which is highly unusual - | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
for the weather to settle down in time for the weekend. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
Indeed, there may just be a few spots of rain | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
for the Northwest of Scotland, | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
otherwise a dry day, some sunshine, | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
and temperatures by day | 0:02:44 | 0:02:45 | |
a little bit higher as well. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:46 | |
So with that high pressure moving in over the weekend, | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
we are seeing the back of those wintry showers, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
the cold winds, | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
instead we are going to find more in the way of blues skies. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
It will feel pleasantly warm in the sunshine by day, | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
clear skies at night. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:58 | |
Even at this time of the year, | 0:02:58 | 0:02:59 | |
you can still get some cold mornings. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
Monday sees the high pressure right over the UK. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
The position of the high will be crucial, | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
because we may start to draw in a colder easterly wind. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
Then, beyond Monday, | 0:03:10 | 0:03:11 | |
it's all about what happens to the high - is it going to last? | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
Is it going to recede? | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
It looks like the high will gradually, very slowly, | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
retreat into Europe, | 0:03:19 | 0:03:20 | |
allowing more of an Atlantic feed to come into the Northwest, | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
threatening to bring more cloud and perhaps some rain, | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
but we'll lose those easterly winds, | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
so in the centre of the high, | 0:03:28 | 0:03:29 | |
it could be really warm. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
Good and evil exists in this world. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:43 |
