Thanks for joining me and tuning in | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
to our extended nightly weather forecast. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
We'll have a look at the trends into next week and the weekend as well | 0:00:07 | 0:00:11 | |
and the prospects of some bad weather heading our way. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
But first of all, let's talk about the here and now. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
Wednesday wasn't a bad day across the country, at least for most of us. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
We had some heavy showers, downpours in places, | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
for example in Newcastle and parts of Northern Ireland. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
But as we head into Thursday, the relatively quiet weather continues, | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |
with plenty of sunshine, a little on the hazy side, | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
and maybe the odd shower here and there, | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
but most of the showers shouldn't be too heavy | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
and there won't be too many of them. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:37 | |
Temperatures at best will get up to 25, we think, in the London area, | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
more like the high teens or nudging up to 20 in Glasgow and in Newcastle. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:45 | |
So, that's Thursday. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
Things do change as we head into the last day of the working week. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
For Friday, this area of low pressure swings out of the Bay of Biscay, | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
and the thinking is that Southern England, | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
the Southeast and East Anglia | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
are in for some pretty heavy rain, at least a spell of heavy rain. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
Also, some heavy rain is heading in the direction of Northern Ireland, | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
but you'll see that there's this slither in the middle of the UK, | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
between this area of rain here and here, | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
where we're actually going to have plenty of bright weather | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
but also some showers, | 0:01:15 | 0:01:16 | |
so really the best way to describe it | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
is a messy day on Friday, very changeable, from sunshine to rain, | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
perhaps to sunshine again. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:23 | |
But be prepared for quite a few downpours. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
And then, as we head into Saturday, | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
that area of low pressure is going to probably graze, | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
at least in the morning, Eastern parts of Scotland. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
It could give gusty conditions and heavy rain. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
But we're between weather systems, | 0:01:34 | 0:01:35 | |
so the weather's looking decent on Saturday, with some sunshine. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
I suspect the best of the weather will be across more Eastern areas, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
whereas in the West we'll catch a few showers. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
And then, beyond that, that's when things become a bit more interesting. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
So after some relatively quiet weather on Saturday, | 0:01:48 | 0:01:52 | |
all eyes are on the Atlantic. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
Now, let me show you the satellite picture | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
of what's happening just off the Eastern seaboard of the US right now. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
This is actually ex-tropical storm Bertha. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
Or it used to be a hurricane. Ex-hurricane Bertha. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
It is drifting very slowly in our direction. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
There are two scenarios of how this, or the remnants of it, may affect us. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
One track takes it sort of more into France, the Bay of Biscay | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
and into France, so the storm's a little bit further South. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
Another track could take it more directly over the UK | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
by the time we get to Sunday. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:21 | |
So there are these two scenarios, and we're still not quite sure | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
which way this weather system is going to swing. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
And actually it's not here, | 0:02:27 | 0:02:28 | |
it's the one down here, | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
strong winds, gale-force winds | 0:02:30 | 0:02:31 | |
and heavy rain spreading into the South of the country. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
And this could be heavy rain, but, as I say, it may miss us, | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
it may go further South. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:38 | |
It could go further North, affecting more parts of the country. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
And then by the time we get to Monday, | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
that poor weather will slip away | 0:02:44 | 0:02:45 | |
into either the near Continent or into the North Sea. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
It really depends which way it goes. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
And it does look as though things will tend to quieten down | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
by the time we get to Monday, with some sunshine. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
But by this stage, the forecast is becoming a little bit uncertain. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
So what do we think is going to happen from round about Tuesday? | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
Well, it does look as though low pressure's going to be | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
in charge of the weather across the Northern part of the country, | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
whereas high pressure will be to the South, | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
and that effectively translates to kind of a typical weather situation | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
that we get this time of the year in the summer. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
Before that, we still have to get through that storm, | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
so there's a lot of uncertainty in that, | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
but it does look as though through that period | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
the driest weather will be in the South, | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
whereas in Scotland and Northern Ireland, it looks more showery. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
But stay tuned to our forecasts. That's the latest. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
I've never ever, ever done gymnastics at all. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
If their hands aren't bleeding, | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
they haven't trained hard enough. Crazy hard. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 |
