We'll see some pretty big changes with the weather patterns, | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
both on the large scale | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
and with the wind direction across the UK in the coming days. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
But the main theme, even as we head into the first part of March, | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
is it's going to be staying on the cold side. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
Quite a bit of sunshine during Thursday, | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
which will soon lift the temperatures, | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
starting below freezing, up to between 3 and 8 Celsius. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
A few scattered showers in the west, | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
some snow showers continuing across the Shetland Isles, | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
where temperatures will struggle to get much above freezing. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
Elsewhere, 3 to 7 or 8 Celsius. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
With light winds, in the sunshine, | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
it doesn't feel too bad after that frosty start. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
Again, though it'll turn quite frosty quite quickly | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
during Thursday evening. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
The blue hue taking over the map. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
Again, where we see any showers, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:43 | |
it could turn a little bit icy out on the roads, | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
as temperatures, quite widely, even in towns and cities, | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
again, get down to freezing. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:50 | |
Rural areas, several degrees below. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
Not quite as cold further south and west, you'll notice, | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
because here we'll see a bit more breeze picking up. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
But more importantly, perhaps, a bit more cloud spinning in. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
It will be a cloudier day here | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
with perhaps some more persistent rain, | 0:01:03 | 0:01:04 | |
most likely now to be across the extreme south-west. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
But perhaps a few more showers on Friday | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
across southern and western areas. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
Overall, for most, Friday is, again, a dry day. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
And, again, after a frosty start, quite a bit of sunshine, | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
with temperatures around or a touch below average - | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
3 to 7 Celsius. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:20 | |
But we will start to see the breeze picking up | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
from this area of wet weather, tied into an area of low pressure. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
The low itself is going to drive southwards, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
joining with another low, | 0:01:28 | 0:01:29 | |
bringing some pretty wet and windy conditions | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
to parts of Spain and France this weekend. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
The upshot for us on the northern side of that low, | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
with quite a few isobars on the chart, | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
means the winds, certainly across the southern portions of the UK, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
will be increasing and coming in from a cold direction. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
The winds further north will be light, | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
so it's another fine day by and large, with some sunshine. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
Temperatures in the south still 5 to 8 Celsius, | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
similar to what we'll see for the next few days. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
But because you're adding on that wind, | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
it will feel a lot colder this weekend. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
And still, particularly across the south-eastern quarter of the UK, | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
a bitter wind blowing on Sunday. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:03 | |
Elsewhere, again, the winds relatively light | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
and most places dry and bright, some sunny spells, | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
just a few scattered wintry showers. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
High pressure remains in control for the early part of the week, | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
but we're starting to see a change. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:15 | |
During Monday, these weather fronts approaching from the Atlantic. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
Back to more of an Atlantic influence early part of next week. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
That's all tied in with the jet stream, | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
that fast-moving ribbon of air. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
If you've been with me for the past few nights, | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
we've been talking about this jet stream driving south | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
to the west of the UK. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:32 | |
As we go through the weekend, into the early part of next week, | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
look at the change. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
We're back to a more traditional jet stream, if you like, | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
driving from west to east. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
And also, notice it is getting a little bit weaker. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
It means that it will be driving the low-pressure systems | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
towards more northern parts of the UK, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
or perhaps to the north of Scotland, even. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
But because the jet stream's a bit weaker, | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
we're not at this stage expecting anything too intense | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
with these low-pressure systems that drift on through. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
It does mean more of an Atlantic influence. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
It's a big expanse of water, so there'll be a bit more rain around. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
After a largely dry weekend, we will start to see more wet weather | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
through the early part of next week. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:11 | |
There'll be a different feel. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
We'll lose those bitter easterly winds | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
and the winds will come in from the north-west. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
Not particularly warm. It'll still be on the chilly side. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
Temperatures about average as we head into the early part of March. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
With the low pressures nearer the north, | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
that's where the wettest of the weather will be | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
for much of next week. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:29 |
