Hello, there. February started on a stormy note. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
Henry, our eighth named storm of the winter season, | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
has come and gone, but it brought some dramatic stories. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:11 | |
In fact, we had gusts of wind in excess of 90mph | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
in the far north of Scotland and our weather watchers sent in | 0:00:13 | 0:00:17 | |
these photographs of rough seas and heavy rain. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
However, in the wake of Henry, | 0:00:20 | 0:00:21 | |
we actually saw this amazing nacreous cloud | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
and you can see the rainbow effects as the ice crystals | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
reflect off the sun's rays first thing on Tuesday morning. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
I suspect Wednesday won't be quite as dramatic, | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
but hopefully a little quieter | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
and hopefully a little more in the way of sunshine coming through. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
Yes, we've seen a few showers | 0:00:38 | 0:00:39 | |
during the first half of Wednesday, | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
but the cloud will break up, the showers ease through | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
and lighter winds. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:45 | |
Predominantly dry and sunny | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
with just a few isolated showers along west-facing coasts. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
After a chilly start, temperatures will recover, | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
but they'll be a little more subdued than recent days. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
Four to six degrees in the north, | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
around seven to nine further south, | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
but it's all change again as we move | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
out of Wednesday into Thursday. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
A weather front pushes through. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:05 | |
On the leading edge, we could see some snow for a time | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
to higher ground in Scotland and northern England. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
We're not too concerned for it. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
Hopefully, the milder air will flood back in | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
and it'll turn back to rain. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:15 | |
You can see double figures by the start of Thursday in the west. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
Still cold, though, in the far north and east. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
As we move through Thursday, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:23 | |
it's a bit more of a subdued, | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
drab picture, really. A lot of cloud around. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
A milder feel, yes, | 0:01:28 | 0:01:29 | |
but it's going to be a grey day | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
with some persistent rain just clinging on | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
to the far west of Scotland, | 0:01:33 | 0:01:34 | |
where we don't really need it. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
Also along west-facing coasts, | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
a lot of low cloud, poor visibility | 0:01:38 | 0:01:39 | |
and damp and drizzly. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
Top temperatures around 13 degrees. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
Still cold in the far north-east. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
On Friday, we pick up a stronger southerly wind, | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
a more significant frontal system starting to push in | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
and that will gradually move its way from west to east. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
Once it does so - it's going to take its time - | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
it will clear away during Saturday and again, | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
it's going to introduce slightly colder air with it, | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
so on Saturday, we see our weather front easing away, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
maybe double figures in the far south-east, | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
some sunny spells behind, but temperatures again reverting back | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
to around six or seven generally across the country. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
Need to draw your attention by the end of Saturday | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
to this area of low pressure | 0:02:16 | 0:02:17 | |
into the south-west. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
At the moment, there's still a level of uncertainty as to the position | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
and the track that area of low pressure is likely to take, | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
but it could be significant, | 0:02:26 | 0:02:27 | |
because with that colder air sitting across the country, | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
it looks likely that the jet stream | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
will be to the south of the UK, | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
so we're going to be on the northern edge of the jet stream. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
We talk about the jet stream as this ribbon of winds | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
high up in the atmosphere driving low pressure systems towards us. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
That could pick up that low that I was talking about | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
and move it towards the southern half of the UK | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
and maybe for a time, there could be a little bit of wet snow, | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
but it does mean we could see some wet and windy weather | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
across England and Wales. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:58 | |
The jet stream position into early next week | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
is likely to change, though. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
It'll move potentially towards the middle of the UK, | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
maybe towards the end of the week | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
drifting a little bit further south. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
What all this means is that there's the potential | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
as we move into next week, | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
the second week of February, | 0:03:13 | 0:03:14 | |
we'll see some wetter and windier weather | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
focusing its attention across England and Wales | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
and Scotland, where it's been so miserable of late, | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
could potentially see drier | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
and quieter weather conditions. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
That's a long way away. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:27 | |
Whatever you're doing, | 0:03:27 | 0:03:28 | |
enjoy Wednesday's sunshine. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
Repeated warnings... | 0:03:41 | 0:03:42 | |
The Government thought it was the right thing to do. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
..allegations and accusations... | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
They're going to make me the demon of Peckham. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
With unprecedented access | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
to the decline and fall of a charity empire. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 |
