Hello. Wetter and windier conditions | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
seem to be dominating over the drier weather. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
The reason is all down to big temperature | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
contrasts across the North Atlantic. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
We've seen some very cold air push out to northern Canada recently. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
That's hitting very warm tropical air to the south, | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
and on our latitude that dividing line. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
Those temperature contrasts fire up a particularly strong jet stream. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
That jet stream fires up some active low-pressure systems. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:25 | |
Another one with us on Sunday, | 0:00:25 | 0:00:26 | |
following into the colder air across Scotland, | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
significant snow in parts of the southern Highlands | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
and the Grampians and at even lower levels later on. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
But elsewhere, cloudy outbreaks of rain and some very strong winds. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
Through the afternoon, we could see 60, maybe | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
70mph gusts across parts of northern England and across Wales as well. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:44 | |
But wherever you are, it will be a windy day on Sunday, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
and the winds pick up across the south into the afternoon. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
We've seen sunshine, showers through the morning, | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
cloudy into the afternoon, but notice the black wind arrows. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
These are where gusts of wind are over 40mph, some close to 50, | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
even 60mph even at this stage. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
Wettest weather by the afternoon in parts of Wales and the Midlands. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
It brightens up but turns cold across northern England, | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
sunshine and showers, as in Northern Ireland, with showers turning wintry | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
mainly over the hills but even to lower levels, | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
as will be the case across Scotland, after snow in the morning, | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
more sleet and snow showers through the afternoon | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
and temperatures only around three or four Celsius at best for many. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
And with the snow showers continuing here through Sunday night | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
and into Monday, a significant ice risk possible. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
Further south we'll see temperatures drop initially but then | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
lift as we see another weather system pushing its way in, which | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
will be running into cold air, and over the hills we could see snow, | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
so maybe the tops of the Welsh mountains, the higher | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
ground of Northern Ireland and into parts of northern England, | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
too, especially on the Pennines. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
But here it is, the next system, | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
running in on that temperature contrast I mentioned, | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
a strong jet stream. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
This feature doesn't look like it'll get too far north. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
The northern edge of course always prone to some hill snow, | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
but outbreaks of rain quite widely across England and Wales. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
And again, the saturated nature of the ground, rivers running high, | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
we'll have to watch out for the risk of some flooding. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
Temperatures, like Sunday, nine to 13 degrees, southern half of the UK. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
Contrast that with the colder side of the jet stream, | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
with sunshine and wintry showers only around two to five degrees. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
Now, a risk of frost | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
and ice again across the north into Tuesday morning, | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
a brief ridge of high pressure before our system pushes its way | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
northwards once again. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:17 | |
Rain initially across parts of England and Wales, | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
pushing into Scotland and Northern Ireland | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
but taking milder air with it, still | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
though with the significant risk of snow over the Scottish mountains. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
So we're all into the milder air as we finish Tuesday | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
and go into Wednesday. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:31 | |
Windy conditions across the board, and our weather front wriggles | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
back into the next system set to push its way in. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
There just doesn't seem to be any let-up, | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
and that's that active jet stream I mentioned. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
Very mild for the time of year, 11 to 14 Celsius across the board, | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
the most persistent rain in Scotland and Northern Ireland. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
A band of rain sweeps across England and Wales into Thursday | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
and another area of low pressure potentially towards the west. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
That one we'll have to watch. A lot of uncertainty about this, | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
but it could bring some pretty strong winds. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
And as it all pushes through, we're back into slightly colder | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
air once again with the risk of some overnight frost. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
But as we end the week, the overnight frost is then replaced by | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
strengthening south-westerly winds | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
as our jet stream whips up a deepening area of low pressure | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
way out towards the North Atlantic. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
Now, Friday probably a little bit drier towards the south | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
and the east, but some windy conditions across the board. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
Rain spreads, and into the start of next weekend, | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
a chilly start, further spells of rain around, low-pressure | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
systems still coming our way, still pretty windy at times, too. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
We may have to wait till the middle | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
of December before things turn quieter. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
Roger. Roger! | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
You've met Matva, I've just hired her. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
I want you all to be vigilant, we need you to be vigilant. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
The African lady, she had nothing to do with it, then? Erm, no. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 |
