Hello there.

0:00:010:00:02

The ten-day outlook is suggesting a gradual slide into a rather

0:00:020:00:05

more unsettled mode of summer weather.

0:00:050:00:08

No sign of any repeat of the hot sunshine that many of us

0:00:080:00:12

have seen over recent weeks.

0:00:120:00:13

There will be some sunshine around on Tuesday, but a bit intermittent,

0:00:130:00:17

particularly across the North and Northwest of the UK.

0:00:170:00:20

Some showers driven along by fairly brisk

0:00:200:00:22

winds across Western Scotland, Northern Ireland,

0:00:220:00:24

and a band of thicker cloud working its way southwards ahead of that.

0:00:240:00:27

There will be a brighter spells coming through,

0:00:270:00:30

but temperatures a bit below average - around 17 in Glasgow -

0:00:300:00:33

a cool breeze blowing through from the West as well.

0:00:330:00:36

That cloud may be thick enough to bring some drizzle to the

0:00:360:00:39

mountains of Snowdonia, perhaps across the Pennines as well,

0:00:390:00:42

but ahead of that we will have this band of clearer

0:00:420:00:45

skies and some sunshine getting in across Southern England,

0:00:450:00:47

and temperatures responding - still fairly warm air.

0:00:470:00:50

So getting up to the mid, even high 20s in one or two spots.

0:00:500:00:54

So there is still some warm air there,

0:00:540:00:56

particularly across the South Midlands, South East England.

0:00:560:00:59

Cooler air to the North, and dividing those two,

0:00:590:01:02

we actually have weather front, perhaps not surprisingly,

0:01:020:01:05

and that front, as it moves southwards during Tuesday

0:01:050:01:08

night into Wednesday, will take the very warmest of the air away

0:01:080:01:11

and out into the near Continent.

0:01:110:01:13

Then low pressure to the North,

0:01:130:01:14

rather more isobars on the chart,

0:01:140:01:16

and a little weak weather system running through,

0:01:160:01:18

enhancing the showers

0:01:180:01:19

and the amount of cloud for a time across the Northern half of the UK.

0:01:190:01:23

Best chance of lengthy, dry, and at times, bright spells across Southern

0:01:230:01:26

areas, and that's where the highest temperatures are likely to be.

0:01:260:01:29

So still getting up to,

0:01:290:01:30

or even slightly above the seasonal average here,

0:01:300:01:33

but feeling a little on the cool side in the brisk

0:01:330:01:35

winds across Northern areas, and around 18 - 20 degrees.

0:01:350:01:39

So this is how Wednesday is shaping up.

0:01:390:01:42

High pressure's beginning to retreat into the mid Atlantic,

0:01:420:01:46

so that's opening things up for areas of low pressure to

0:01:460:01:48

move in from the Atlantic

0:01:480:01:50

across the UK, hence this gradual change to something more

0:01:500:01:53

unsettled as the week goes on.

0:01:530:01:55

We could even see some longer spells of rain around the low to the

0:01:550:01:58

North, across Scotland, maybe Northern Ireland for a time.

0:01:580:02:01

Brisk winds blowing in across Western parts of England and Wales, but

0:02:010:02:04

still in the South East, temperatures up around 23 - 25 degrees.

0:02:040:02:08

But now we go on into Friday

0:02:080:02:10

and you can see that low pressure gradually becoming more

0:02:100:02:12

and more established as the high moves away further to the West.

0:02:120:02:16

So you can see the wind circulating around that area of low pressure,

0:02:160:02:20

bringing outbreaks of rain showery in nature by and large,

0:02:200:02:23

but some of those showers could last for some time.

0:02:230:02:26

17 or 18 across Northern parts,

0:02:260:02:28

On the cool side. Up to 21 or 22 in the South.

0:02:280:02:32

But these weather fronts will bring bands of showery rain around the low.

0:02:320:02:37

You can see the low is really lining up to go through towards the weekend.

0:02:370:02:41

So what you'll probably tend to find is you'll get a band of showers

0:02:410:02:43

moving through, then something drier

0:02:430:02:45

and brighter coming through behind that.

0:02:450:02:47

So certainly not a wash out by any means, but you'll need to get

0:02:470:02:51

in the sunshine to get any benefits, really, from any sort of warmth.

0:02:510:02:54

But temperatures still fairly close to the seasonal average,

0:02:540:02:57

and that seems to be the case as we look further ahead through

0:02:570:02:59

the rest of the first week of August.

0:02:590:03:01

Average temperatures, some sunshine, but also potential for some

0:03:010:03:05

rain at times, and some of that could be on the heavy side.

0:03:050:03:07

Often breezy, in fact, with low pressure sitting right

0:03:070:03:10

across the UK, we could even see winds

0:03:100:03:12

getting close to gale force at times around some exposed Western areas.

0:03:120:03:15

Perhaps across the West of Scotland, for example, and seasonably

0:03:150:03:19

windy in some places, but low pressure looks to stay in charge.

0:03:190:03:22

That's how it's looking at the moment right the way through

0:03:220:03:25

the first week of August, hence a rather unsettled spell of weather.
