Hello there. Summer remains fairly absent from the weather charts

0:00:030:00:06

over the coming days, but the weekend, whilst not a summer classic,

0:00:060:00:09

it will be far from a washout.

0:00:090:00:11

We start with a brief ridge of high pressure

0:00:110:00:13

across southern areas,

0:00:130:00:14

but this low to the north of Scotland

0:00:140:00:16

brings a change to the weekend

0:00:160:00:17

introducing some more cloud and outbreaks of rain

0:00:170:00:20

across the west of Scotland as we start Saturday,

0:00:200:00:22

a strengthening breeze too.

0:00:220:00:23

Elsewhere, some bright sunny spells,

0:00:230:00:25

best of the sunshine England and Wales,

0:00:250:00:27

bright, largely dry conditions

0:00:270:00:28

in the south and east of Northern Ireland and Scotland.

0:00:280:00:31

The weather front will push its way

0:00:310:00:32

southwards during the day

0:00:320:00:33

bringing occasional rain,

0:00:330:00:35

mainly light rain, which will

0:00:350:00:36

eventually turn heavier as it

0:00:360:00:38

pushes into north-west England

0:00:380:00:39

during the evening.

0:00:390:00:40

South of it, it does look like

0:00:400:00:41

through much of England

0:00:410:00:42

and Wales it will be a dry day,

0:00:420:00:45

a bright day, more cloud into the afternoon

0:00:450:00:47

compared with the morning,

0:00:470:00:48

but even with that cloud,

0:00:480:00:49

there will be some sunny breaks

0:00:490:00:50

in the sunshine out of the breeze,

0:00:500:00:52

temperatures high teens and 20s,

0:00:520:00:53

should feel warm enough.

0:00:530:00:54

Any showers, few and far between.

0:00:540:00:56

Thicker cloud, breezy conditions

0:00:560:00:57

north-west England through the afternoon.

0:00:570:00:59

Rain mainly in North Lancashire and Cumbria,

0:00:590:01:01

damp across some parts of southern Scotland

0:01:010:01:03

and Northern Ireland, but drier moments here,

0:01:030:01:05

bright weather to end the day

0:01:050:01:06

in northern Scotland, one or two showers.

0:01:060:01:08

Temperatures could get into the low 20s

0:01:080:01:10

around Aberdeenshire and the Moray Firth.

0:01:100:01:12

In the evening, northern England,

0:01:120:01:14

North Wales, the rain does pep up.

0:01:140:01:15

The winds become strong and gusty

0:01:150:01:17

round that cold front

0:01:170:01:18

pushing its way southwards,

0:01:180:01:19

introducing a rather fresh start

0:01:190:01:21

to Sunday across the northern half

0:01:210:01:22

of the UK, windy with some showers.

0:01:220:01:24

To the south, not as cold

0:01:240:01:26

as we start Saturday morning,

0:01:260:01:27

with temperatures generally around the mid-teens.

0:01:270:01:30

So here's the pressure chart to start Sunday.

0:01:300:01:32

A deepening low to the north-east of Scotland,

0:01:320:01:34

strongest of the winds

0:01:340:01:35

western Scotland, Northern Ireland,

0:01:350:01:36

and into the north-west of England.

0:01:360:01:38

The weather front brings some occasional rain

0:01:380:01:40

in southern England to begin with.

0:01:400:01:42

Not everyone will see the rain,

0:01:420:01:43

some will be barely more than

0:01:430:01:44

a splash or two, brightening up here

0:01:440:01:46

in the afternoon.

0:01:460:01:47

Brighter conditions across England and Wales,

0:01:470:01:49

showers northern England northwards,

0:01:490:01:51

some of those becoming frequent

0:01:510:01:52

across northern Scotland, heavy and thundery,

0:01:520:01:55

strong winds, as I said,

0:01:550:01:56

across the North and the West

0:01:560:01:57

an increasing chilly feel as well,

0:01:570:01:58

temperatures at best

0:01:580:02:00

around the mid-teens here.

0:02:000:02:02

That low remains a dominant feature

0:02:020:02:03

through Sunday night into Monday.

0:02:030:02:05

Strongest winds transferring

0:02:050:02:06

eastern Scotland, north-east England,

0:02:060:02:08

we could see winds gusting 50, 60 miles an hour

0:02:080:02:10

for a time across this neck of the woods.

0:02:100:02:12

It will feel distinctly chilly

0:02:120:02:13

in that wind as well with

0:02:130:02:15

plenty of showers pushing through on the breeze.

0:02:150:02:17

A few showers elsewhere,

0:02:170:02:18

but sheltered from that northerly wind,

0:02:180:02:20

southern areas, in particular,

0:02:200:02:21

should be dry and bright

0:02:210:02:22

and still get out the sunshine...

0:02:220:02:24

get out the wind,

0:02:240:02:25

the sun will still make it feel pleasantly warm.

0:02:250:02:27

Now into Tuesday, still quite windy conditions

0:02:270:02:29

across the far north-east.

0:02:290:02:31

That breeze easing down a little bit

0:02:310:02:33

on Monday's strong winds,

0:02:330:02:34

but we will see the chance of some thicker cloud

0:02:340:02:36

and some showery rain working its way

0:02:360:02:38

down the western side of the UK.

0:02:380:02:39

Driest, brightest conditions

0:02:390:02:41

across southern England,

0:02:410:02:42

but temperatures at best high-teens,

0:02:420:02:43

for most of you mid-teens

0:02:430:02:44

made to feel colder in that breeze.

0:02:440:02:46

Now the focus for the showers

0:02:460:02:47

as we go into Wednesday will be

0:02:470:02:49

around this weather front,

0:02:490:02:50

so southern parts of the country

0:02:500:02:51

in particular have the greatest

0:02:510:02:53

chance of a few showers,

0:02:530:02:54

still some heavy showers to the north

0:02:540:02:55

and east with those gusty winds.

0:02:550:02:57

The gusty winds continuing to ease down

0:02:570:02:59

a little bit further.

0:02:590:03:00

As we go through Thursday into Sunday,

0:03:000:03:02

of course, into the start of the bank holiday weekend,

0:03:020:03:04

the low continues to nudge up a little bit further

0:03:040:03:06

as high-pressure tries to nudge in from the south-west.

0:03:060:03:09

It does mean that the strongest of those winds

0:03:090:03:11

will continue across the north-east of the country,

0:03:110:03:13

but I'm optimistic that at least as we go into the bank holiday weekend,

0:03:130:03:16

the winds will ease down a little bit.

0:03:160:03:18

Most will be dry, there'll still be a few showers here and there,

0:03:180:03:21

so not a completely dry picture

0:03:210:03:22

and whilst the nights will be rather chilly, at least by day,

0:03:220:03:25

it should start to feel a touch warmer, particularly

0:03:250:03:27

across some southern parts of the country.

0:03:270:03:29

You can find out more online, but, from me, take care.
