0:00:02 > 0:00:04Hello, thanks for tuning in.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06There's a lot happening on the weather front
0:00:06 > 0:00:08over the next few days, but I must concentrate on the here and now,
0:00:08 > 0:00:11because there is some very rough weather heading our way.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13In fact, Storm Barney, named by the Met Office,
0:00:13 > 0:00:15is brewing in the Atlantic. It's heading our way
0:00:15 > 0:00:17and the wind gusts could topple some trees
0:00:17 > 0:00:19during the course of Tuesday.
0:00:19 > 0:00:20Let's see what's happening, then.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23This is the satellite picture and Barney's here,
0:00:23 > 0:00:24still thousands of miles away,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26but it is heading in our direction
0:00:26 > 0:00:28and it will affect the southern half of the UK,
0:00:28 > 0:00:30particularly coastal areas, but also inland,
0:00:30 > 0:00:33there'll be some very vicious gusts of wind as well,
0:00:33 > 0:00:36but for the time being, we've got gale-force winds
0:00:36 > 0:00:38across northern parts of Scotland,
0:00:38 > 0:00:4160mph to possibly 70mph gusts for the next few hours.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42This is just a snapshot.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Further south across the UK,
0:00:43 > 0:00:48it's much calmer, but we have got
0:00:48 > 0:00:49It's not going to last very long,
0:00:49 > 0:00:52because by the time we get to early on Tuesday morning,
0:00:52 > 0:00:54the early hours, it is actually going to dry out
0:00:54 > 0:00:56and the winds will be light,
0:00:56 > 0:00:58so it's the calm before the storm, before Barney.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Mild still, 12 degrees in the south,
0:01:00 > 0:01:03but already colder in Scotland.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Tuesday morning's rush hour not actually looking too bad at all.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08In fact, the winds will be light
0:01:08 > 0:01:10across most parts of the country,
0:01:10 > 0:01:13relatively mild still in the south,
0:01:13 > 0:01:19but the rains just about starting to nudge into Wales.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20not a bad start to the day,
0:01:20 > 0:01:21that is for Glasgow and Edinburgh,
0:01:21 > 0:01:24because across the Northern Isles here, still very windy,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27still gale-force winds and some gusty showers.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Here's that area of low pressure. This is Barney.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32It'll develop rapidly during the course of Tuesday
0:01:32 > 0:01:36and it'll bring a swathe of perhaps a few hours of severe gale-force winds
0:01:36 > 0:01:38across the southern half of the UK.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40So here's the morning onwards.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43First the rain arrives with strengthening winds,
0:01:43 > 0:01:44but the strongest of the winds,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46with those really pounding gusts,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48will be towards the south of Barney,
0:01:48 > 0:01:49so the centre of the lows here,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51but the gales will be to the south.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Quite a mild day in London.
0:01:53 > 0:01:5517 degrees, Cardiff too,
0:01:55 > 0:01:57but that will be offset by the strengthening wind.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Colder already there in Scotland.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02But let's take a look at those really strong gusts of wind,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04because it's been a while since we've had
0:02:04 > 0:02:05gales across the south of the UK.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Up to 80mph gusts.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11That's really strong around the coasts and exposed areas of the south
0:02:11 > 0:02:13and the south-west, but even inland,
0:02:13 > 0:02:15we could see gusts of 60-70mph.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17That, as I said, could topple some trees,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20there could be some power cuts here and there
0:02:20 > 0:02:22and some disruption to transport,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24some delays, so factor that in
0:02:24 > 0:02:27if you're travelling during the course of Tuesday evening.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Wednesday a much quieter day, but still very windy.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Again, across Northern Ireland and Scotland,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34gale-force winds with some rain.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35By the time we get to Thursday,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38a change starts to happen across the northern part of the UK.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41You can see the winds are starting to come in from the north
0:02:41 > 0:02:43and that means colder air oozing down.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Those temperatures will start to drop.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Still relatively mild in the south
0:02:47 > 0:02:49and it could be relatively mild still on Friday,
0:02:49 > 0:02:51but you can see, even across northern England,
0:02:51 > 0:02:55back down to single figures by the time we get to Friday,
0:02:55 > 0:02:56so there are changes on the way.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Let's see what's happening
0:02:58 > 0:03:00during the course of the weekend.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02The mild air that's been sitting over us
0:03:02 > 0:03:04for a very long time now eventually gets pushed away
0:03:04 > 0:03:06and we get that colder air
0:03:06 > 0:03:07coming in from the north,
0:03:07 > 0:03:09so temperatures will start
0:03:09 > 0:03:11to recover at least to average
0:03:11 > 0:03:13and then to below average as we head
0:03:13 > 0:03:15into the weekend and the next week.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Let's summarise all of that -
0:03:17 > 0:03:20the weekend and into next week, it's turning colder, less windy
0:03:20 > 0:03:23and there could be some wintry showers,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25particularly across Scottish hills,
0:03:25 > 0:03:27down into the Pennines as well.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29That's it. Thanks for watching.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32The way in which we create
0:03:32 > 0:03:35and consume food is changing faster than ever.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39A seemingly sci-fi future is actually a reality.
