Hello. High pressure has dominated our weather for quite some time. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
That's kept it dry virtually everywhere, | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
but we've also seen variable amounts of cloud. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
And a bit of sunshine at this time of year makes all the difference. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:14 | |
This is the view yesterday in Polzeath, Cornwall. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
Fast forward to today and a very different feel to the day underneath | 0:00:16 | 0:00:20 | |
pretty cloudy skies. A lot of cloud, yes, but it was essentially dry. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:24 | |
Later this week, we're going to swap high pressure for | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
low pressure as the jet stream dives to the south of the UK | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
and that low is going to keep things pretty unsettled as we get on | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
into the Easter weekend. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:34 | |
Through the middle of the week, a lot of cloud to start the day. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
The best of any breaks will be to the eastern side of England, | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
maybe along the south coast as well. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
The odd spit and spot of rain possible across some | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
parts of England and Wales but most places should be dry. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
Not quite so in the north and west, this band of rain, | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
not overly heavy rain, but some rain nonetheless, | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
working through Northern Ireland into western Scotland. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
Something brighter and some showers following. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
Northern England, fairly cloudy through the afternoon, | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
maybe some breaks east of the Pennines. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
The odd spot of rain possible across the north-west | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
of England, western Wales and down towards the south-west, | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
but many places will actually be fine and dry and it should be a | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
pretty much dry afternoon for East Anglia and the south-east. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
Maybe a few breaks in the cloud, 12 or 13 degrees, | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
with some sunshine and light winds it shouldn't feel so bad. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
Through evening, there will be that rain crossing Scotland, | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
patchy rain for northern England and a little | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
rain for the south-east, but it won't amount to very much. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
Something much more substantial into the north and west by dawn | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
on Thursday. By which stage, major towns | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
and cities will see temperatures around five or six degrees. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
Thursday itself, that's the start of a change to something much more | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
unsettled as low pressure begins to take over across the United Kingdom. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
So turning increasingly wet | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
and increasingly windy across the north and west of the UK. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
That rain make steady progress towards the south and the east | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
through the afternoon. And into the evening, that rain will begin | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
to arrive here. Underneath the rain, | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
single figures, eight or nine degrees. And in the wind and rain | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
not a great feel to the day. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
Now, to get on into Good Friday, that rain may well drag its | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
heels for a while across the south-east | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
but there is this temporary ridge building, which is going to bring | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
some pretty decent weather to the north and west. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
But through the Easter weekend itself, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
we're going to see quite a mixed bag of weather. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
It's going to be windy at times, some rain, some showers, but | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
there's also going to be something little bit drier and brighter. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
Some of us should see some sunshine | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
and Good Friday, actually, seems like a pretty decent day for some | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
sunshine once we clear away that rain from the south-east. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
By around the middle of the day that should clear and many | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
places will be dry and bright. Sunny spells and fairly light winds. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
But the winds will be picking up all the while in the north and west | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
through Good Friday evening as this next weather front approaches. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
That's going to bring yet another spell of wind and rain | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
in from the Atlantic, | 0:02:34 | 0:02:35 | |
so maybe not a great Saturday across Northern Ireland, | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
western Scotland, the western side of England and Wales, that rain | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
eventually moves its way ever eastwards. So we will see some rain | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
cropping up later in the day across East Anglia and the south-east. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
Low pressure still in charge of our weather, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
driving those weather fronts from west to east for Easter Day itself. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
There should be some something of a window of drier | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
and brighter weather in between weather fronts | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
but some showers are going to get going during the day | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
and those could spread to many areas. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
But there will seem be some drier and brighter interludes | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
in between those showers | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
and with a bit of sunshine we'll get 11 or 12 degrees out of the day. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
Now, on to Easter Monday and beyond - | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
low pressure still in charge of our weather, could be | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
quick stormy for some places, I suspect, | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
on Easter Monday, with some gales or even severe gales around some | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
coasts and hills in the south and west. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:21 | |
And on through next week, it does remain rather unsettled. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
There will be some rain at times, | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
the winds will be quite strong, and by night still on the chilly side. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
Bye for now. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:30 |
