Hello. It looks like, next week, we are going to see the remnants

0:00:040:00:07

of another tropical weather system coming across the Atlantic

0:00:070:00:10

and influencing our weather, but not in the same way Bertha did

0:00:100:00:13

a few weeks ago. Actually, for some of us, it may lead to an improvement

0:00:130:00:16

in the weather. All will be explained in a few minutes.

0:00:160:00:18

First, to the here and now, the big picture for Tuesday,

0:00:180:00:22

the Bank Holiday rain still affecting parts of England and Wales,

0:00:220:00:25

as Tuesday begins. The potential for still some heavy downpours,

0:00:250:00:29

especially into south-east England.

0:00:290:00:32

We could still be dealing with some difficult driving conditions

0:00:320:00:34

during the morning, before things slowly improve,

0:00:340:00:37

but still some showers around in southern England into the afternoon.

0:00:370:00:41

Elsewhere, though, it is a decent day. Many of us starting the day with

0:00:410:00:44

sunny spells and continuing with them and, even where you are cloudy,

0:00:440:00:47

it will brighten up at times. Temperatures - mid to high teens.

0:00:470:00:51

As we go through Tuesday evening, the last of the showers

0:00:510:00:54

begin to push away from the south coast, so through the night and into

0:00:540:00:57

Wednesday morning, we will keep a lot of cloud in south-west England,

0:00:570:01:00

maybe some spots of rain from that.

0:01:000:01:02

Elsewhere, a mix of cloud and clear spells. A bit of patchy mist and fog

0:01:020:01:06

developing here and there and for some, again, temperatures

0:01:060:01:08

dipping down into single figures under clear skies.

0:01:080:01:11

A quiet start to Wednesday, with high pressure close by,

0:01:110:01:14

but then we look at another developing area of low pressure

0:01:140:01:17

coming in towards the UK. So, don't be fooled by the quiet weather,

0:01:170:01:21

if you have it on Wednesday - it is not going to last much longer.

0:01:210:01:25

It looks like a decent day towards the north and east of the UK

0:01:250:01:28

on Wednesday, but down towards the South West, close to that area

0:01:280:01:32

of low pressure, increasing cloud, wind and outbreaks of rain moving in,

0:01:320:01:36

more persistent later in the day. There could be a bit of sunshine

0:01:360:01:39

and, for many, it will feel quite pleasant. Going into Thursday,

0:01:390:01:42

that area of low pressure becomes the dominant feature.

0:01:420:01:45

Initially setting itself up to the west of us, it will cross the UK

0:01:450:01:49

during Friday into Saturday. It looks like, from this area of low pressure,

0:01:490:01:54

it is into Scotland we will see a lot of rain. Northern Ireland, too,

0:01:540:01:57

North Wales, as well. The west will see the strongest winds.

0:01:570:02:01

Elsewhere, just a band of rain pushing on through. Brighter skies

0:02:010:02:03

following behind, with showers blustery in that wind.

0:02:030:02:06

As that area of low pressure on Friday moves into the UK,

0:02:060:02:10

it will turn more windy, generally, across the UK, so a very blustery day

0:02:100:02:15

and, with low pressure sitting right across us, that means

0:02:150:02:18

plenty of showers, merging at times, to give some longer spells of rain

0:02:180:02:22

and some of those showers will be heavy, even thundery, too.

0:02:220:02:25

But it is showers. Occasionally, we will see some glimpses of sunshine.

0:02:250:02:30

And that takes us on to the start of the weekend.

0:02:300:02:33

The area of low pressure beginning to get the message and head east,

0:02:330:02:36

but it is still close enough on Saturday to produce further showers.

0:02:360:02:39

Some sunny spells and blustery conditions, once again,

0:02:390:02:42

especially the closer you are to that area of low pressure.

0:02:420:02:45

Going into Sunday, it looks like the weather is going to try to begin

0:02:450:02:49

to settle down. That is the influence from that former

0:02:490:02:51

tropical weather system coming across the Atlantic.

0:02:510:02:54

It is Cristobal. Unlike Bertha, it does not look like it will come

0:02:540:02:57

right across. It will move to the north-west of us and, as it does so,

0:02:570:03:00

it draws up a ridge of high pressure, settling our weather down next week

0:03:000:03:04

and turning things a little bit warmer, especially in the south.

0:03:040:03:08

So, the big picture into next week, as it looks at the moment -

0:03:080:03:12

of course, it is open to change -

0:03:120:03:14

it looks like the remnants of Cristobal towards the north west.

0:03:140:03:17

It could still bring some stormy weather towards the far north west.

0:03:170:03:20

We will keep you updated about that. Elsewhere, this high pressure

0:03:200:03:24

beginning to nudge in and, again, settling the weather down.

0:03:240:03:26

So, we have that to look forward to next week, if it comes to plan.

0:03:260:03:29

As ever, here, we will keep you updated. Bye-bye.
