Hello. Sometimes the extraordinary goes on so long, it seems ordinary, | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
but November really shouldn't be this mild. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
The Met Office tells us the first half of the month was | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
the second warmest start to November on record. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
We achieved the warmest November day and November night we've seen, | 0:00:14 | 0:00:18 | |
but things are about to change | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
and quite significantly and, as ever, | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
all the clues are in the Jet stream. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
It has been bringing an air in | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
from the west or south-west, | 0:00:26 | 0:00:27 | |
but wet and windy weather systems too. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
But then, look at this going into the weekend. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
Right from the north, | 0:00:32 | 0:00:33 | |
we drag arctic air across the UK, | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
it's going to feel so different. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
Not quite here yet, | 0:00:37 | 0:00:38 | |
it's lurking behind this weather front | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
close to northern Scotland. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:41 | |
That's where the isobars are lining up from the Arctic. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
So, on Thursday, it's pretty much as you were, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
although double-figure temperatures across | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
southern England and south Wales | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
held back by cloud, some outbreaks of rain. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
It'll be a blustery day, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:53 | |
not quite as windy as Wednesday. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
There'll be showers coming into Scotland, | 0:00:56 | 0:00:57 | |
Northern Ireland, north-west England | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
and persistent rain for parts of northern Scotland | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
close to that weather front, but as you can see, | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
many again getting into double figures. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
Now, as we go through Thursday night, | 0:01:06 | 0:01:07 | |
this weather front to the south | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
has another ripple of energy, | 0:01:09 | 0:01:10 | |
bringing some rain back to parts of south Wales | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
and southern England as Friday begins. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
That weather front is still | 0:01:14 | 0:01:15 | |
in northern Scotland, making it wet. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
The southern front pulls away southwards on Friday | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
and then we look to the north. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:21 | |
The wind changing direction, | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
colder air starting to come in, | 0:01:23 | 0:01:24 | |
showers turning increasingly to snow | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
to ever lower ground in Scotland. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
And if you're a fan of arctic air, | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
you will like this weather chart here. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
You'll be very interested too | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
in this system in the North Sea. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
A lot of uncertainty about it at the moment, | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
but it has the potential - | 0:01:39 | 0:01:40 | |
Friday night and into Saturday morning - | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
to bring some wet weather | 0:01:43 | 0:01:44 | |
down this eastern side of the UK, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:45 | |
rain on the coast, | 0:01:45 | 0:01:46 | |
but in that cold air inland, | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
even to low ground, | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
we could be seeing some snow. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:51 | |
So snow on the ground or snow falling for some | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
as Saturday begins. Windy too, | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
so gotta factor in wind chill as well. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
Saturday night, there'll be a frost for many. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
This weather system working southwards | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
has some less cold air | 0:02:02 | 0:02:03 | |
associated with it for a time, | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
so maybe producing some rain, | 0:02:06 | 0:02:07 | |
but then, on Sunday, | 0:02:07 | 0:02:08 | |
the colder air digs back in. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
There'll be showers, especially coastal areas. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
Rain, sleet, hail. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
Snow to any that fall inland, | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
but a lot of dry weather too | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
and some sunshine | 0:02:18 | 0:02:19 | |
in this crisp arctic air. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:20 | |
But it looks like being a short, sharp shock, | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
because, into next week, | 0:02:22 | 0:02:23 | |
around this area of high pressure - | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
notice the isobars going into Monday | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
no longer from the north, | 0:02:27 | 0:02:28 | |
but just coming round that high pressure | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
from the Atlantic once again | 0:02:30 | 0:02:31 | |
and, as that process takes place, | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
we topple milder air in | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
south-eastwards across the UK during Monday, | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
so it becomes less cold once again. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
That again is about another change | 0:02:42 | 0:02:43 | |
in the position of the Jet stream. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
As that process happens, | 0:02:45 | 0:02:46 | |
we take some cloud and rain | 0:02:46 | 0:02:47 | |
southwards across the UK. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
Initially snow on Scottish hills. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
But even here, it's likely to turn to rain. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
Notice those temperatures coming up. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
So, next week, then, the jet stream, | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
it's not straight down from the north, | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
it's coming around at high pressure across the Atlantic. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
As it does so, it could well bring back | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
the potential for further wet and windy weather systems | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
hitting the north-west of the UK first. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
That is something we need to watch. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
But it's all about the change in the feel of the weather. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
November so far, 15. We saw that again. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
Maybe North Wales on Wednesday, for example, | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
but by this weekend, 5 at best. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
Some of us won't even get that high. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
And next week, we're not going to recover the ground, | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
even though it turns a bit milder again around 9 degrees. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
Closer to reality November. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:26 | |
Some people tell me they want cold weather! | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
It's coming, whether you like it or not. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:30 |
