Hello there. On Wednesday, parts of England and Wales | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
again recorded the highest temperatures of the year so far. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
Temperatures peaked close to 19 Celsius, in fact, | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
to the west of London, | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
but big differences once again, further north. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
A good 12 degrees cooler in parts of central and southern Scotland. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:19 | |
There will be changes ahead, though. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
We'll iron out those contrasts through the rest of this week, | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
and by Saturday all of us will be in the colder air, | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
many struggling to get out of single figures. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
We'll need a bit of sunshine to boost temperatures | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
such as six or seven for many of you. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
It's a few days away, and it's going to be a slow process change, | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
and the reason, we've still got the jet stream | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
in a sort of z-shape pattern as I mentioned yesterday. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
High pressure to the north-west of the UK, | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
low pressure to the south-west. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:43 | |
Low pressure has more influence on Thursday, | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
meaning showers across England and Wales. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
We've seen heavy, thundery ones in the past few days. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
On Thursday, more widespread and heaviest through the afternoon | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
in Wales, the Midlands and East Anglia. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
Brightening up the south coast after a wet start, | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
though more heavy rain in the far south-west of England | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
and Channel Islands, later. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:00 | |
In the sunshine, either side of the showers, still potentially | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
mid-teen temperatures. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:04 | |
Scotland, Northern Ireland, the far north of England, single figures. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
But a brighter day compared to recent days. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
Then through Thursday night into Friday, | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
we've one weather front pushing northwards across England and Wales, | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
another working its way south into Scotland. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
In between, some drier weather. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
A touch of frost here and there, | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
but colder air starting to push in from the north, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
with this second weather front we can see pushing across Scotland. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
Winds all the way from the Arctic, | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
and so a drastic drop in temperature. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
And on that weather front we will see the rain turn to sleet and snow, | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
even at lower levels at times. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
Not expecting any massive disruption at the moment, | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
but certainly a wintry feel. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
That pushes into Northern Ireland, eventually northern England. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
Rest of England and Wales, low-pressure centred here. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
You'll be hard pressed to stay dry throughout, | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
because there will be rain just about anywhere. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
Still some heavy thundery downpours especially where we see brightness, | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
temperatures in the mid-teens. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
Only around four or five Celsius in the north-east of Scotland. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
That low-pressure system is with us in England and Wales on Friday. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
Starts to push eastward into Saturday. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
It allows, then, that colder air that I mentioned | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
southwards to all parts of the UK. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
Not a great start across England and Wales, outbreaks of rain which will | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
turn to sleet and snow over the hills, but gradually clears through. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
Winds easing a little bit in the west later on, | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
turning a little bit brighter as well, | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
and as I said, you need a bit of sunshine | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
to see temperatures into double figures. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
Some may languish around four, five Celsius through part of the day. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
But it's high pressure which eventually builds in to Sunday | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
from the west. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
We've a bit of a breeze across Scotland and Northern Ireland. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
This time a westerly direction. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
Eastern areas will probably fare better than you've done of late, | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
and there is that high pressure system. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
It's there across the south of the country Sunday into Monday. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
We do have a low-pressure system between Iceland and Norway, which | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
will have certain influence across Scotland and Northern Ireland, | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
bringing some cloud, a few showers around, and a bit more of a breeze, | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
but compared to what we have at the moment, a big improvement. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
In the south, after a frosty start, | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
temperatures lifting back into double figures widely once again. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
So, we go into next week. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:54 | |
We've lost that s-shaped, z-shaped jet stream that I mentioned. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:59 | |
Instead, we've got two. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:00 | |
And in between, high pressure is going to sit there, | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
and it looks set to sit all week. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
Now, yesterday I said there was a chance further east for warm air. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
Looking a little less likely now. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:09 | |
It's going to be mainly to the west of us, bringing cooler | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
Atlantic air around the top, but do not write the week off because | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
don't forget, the April sunshine is getting that bit stronger. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
More of you will be drier for longer. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
Just one or two showers around. When the sunshine is out, | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
it will feel pleasantly warm, but still, the night... | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
And this will be a important one for the gardeners. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
..the chill will be there, with a bit of frost always possible. Bye. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 |
