Next weekend is the final bank holiday weekend of the summer season | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
for Northern Ireland, England and Wales. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
I'm sure you want to know the general trend of that forthcoming weekend. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
Stay with us, I'll have more at the end of this forecast. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
The general trend over the next few days means more of an autumnal feel, | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
with this area of low pressure the driving force and | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
strong North-westerly winds, gales, likely across Scotland. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:25 | |
Even further inland as well, making it feel quite cool, | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
with a real rush of showers across Scotland | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
and perhaps for Northern Ireland for a time. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
Big waves as well so anyone on a sailing holiday in the Northwest, | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
even a walking holiday, please take note. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
A dying weather front will continue to clear further South | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
so by the middle of Sunday afternoon England and Wales should, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
after a pretty disappointing start, see an improving picture, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
with sunny spells coming through. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
It'll still be quite windy but hopefully, with some sunshine | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
and fewer showers, temperatures should peak between the high teens, | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
maybe as high as 20, 21 degrees. Similar story further North. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
Fewer showers, some sunny spells into the afternoon. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
Showers always most frequent along the North and West-facing coasts | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
of Northern Ireland and for Scotland as well. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
Feeling really quite raw on those exposed coasts. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
For the time of year, very disappointing indeed. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
Now, those are strong winds will continue through the night and they | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
will drive some showers further South as well, across England and Wales. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
A lot of cloud around and because of the winds it's not going to be | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
a cold night. Overnight lows generally of 10-13 degrees. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
So we start off Monday morning with that area of low pressure just | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
drifting further into the North Sea, | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
and that means the strongest of the winds closest to the low, | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
so down through the Northeast coast during Monday. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
Hopefully on Monday there will be fewer showers around | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
but it's still going to be a windy day and, because the winds are coming | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
from that North-westerly direction, a coolish feel for this time of year. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
Temperatures down a good three or four degrees on what | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
we should be seeing, really, and there will still be some showers | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
driven along with the strength of the wind. So it's a coolish day. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:58 | |
13-15 degrees further North. | 0:01:58 | 0:01:59 | |
We still just cling on to 20, 21 perhaps in the Southeast corner | 0:01:59 | 0:02:04 | |
but things will stay with that coolish feel, I suspect, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
into Tuesday as well. And this is what we call a little trough. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
It's just going to enhance the flow of showers | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
out to the North and the West during Tuesday. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
So there will be perhaps lines of more organised showers | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
and a cooler feel even down into the Southeast. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:23 | |
13-18 degrees, the high. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:24 | |
As we move out of Tuesday, the winds will start to fall lighter. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
That will be quite noticeable. So lighter winds around on Tuesday. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
Hopefully a slightly drier day and so, therefore, | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
hopefully a slightly better feel to the day as well. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
Still can't rule out a few showers. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
Still disappointing to the North but, again, highs possibly 20 degrees. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
By the time we get to the middle of the week, | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
hopefully the winds will start to swing round to | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
more of a Westerly direction and that's a gradual sign | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
of things slowly improving in terms of the feel of things. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
We still could see more organised bands of showery rain | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
up into the far North and West and still those temperatures | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
not quite where they should be for the time of year. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
Now, as we move towards the bank holiday weekend, | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
it looks as though this area of high pressure may well build | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
and we still keep that Westerly flow | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
so I suspect things will slowly calm down | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
and hopefully start to warm up just a touch | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
but there are indications that it'll be a cool start. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
There will be some rain at times, particularly to the North and West. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
Potentially those temperatures rising | 0:03:22 | 0:03:23 | |
but it will still stay pretty cool through the night. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
So, it's not good to be the best of bank holiday weekends | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
but it could certainly be a lot worse. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 |
