Hello, again. There are still a couple of days of fine, | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
warm spring sunshine before the weather turns. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
But let's set the scene on what's happening right now. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
And high pressure is sitting right over the UK. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
It's keeping these cloud | 0:00:15 | 0:00:16 | |
and weather systems at bay for the time being but this low will | 0:00:16 | 0:00:20 | |
push cloud northwards, the winds will pick up ahead of it as well. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:24 | |
And these weather systems, | 0:00:24 | 0:00:25 | |
this cloud will just nudge into the north-west of Scotland on Wednesday. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
But away from here, a lot of sunshine around, | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
a lovely day on Wednesday. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
Stronger, gusty winds, particularly across the south-west of England. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
Here, the sunshine may be a little bit hazy. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
But on the whole, many places will actually be a bit warmer | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
than on Tuesday. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
The top temperature this time for the west, the north | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
and west of Wales, and north-west England. Could get 17 degrees. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:50 | |
Now, our high pressure, as we head into Thursday, | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
is starting to get squeezed by that low | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
and those weather fronts coming up from the south. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
More isobars, stronger winds, and a weak weather front just | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
nudging into the north of Scotland. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
We've still got lots of dry weather, | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
there will still be some sunshine around on Thursday. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
There'll be stronger winds in southern England and South Wales | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
and there's likely to be more cloud ahead of the rain, | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
which is staying out at sea at this stage. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
A little rain for the north of Scotland, best of the sunshine for | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
these central areas and temperatures could get up to 16 degrees. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
Friday looks different. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:21 | |
We've got this rain now starting to edge into the Channel, | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
maybe affecting the south-west of England, possibly South Wales. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
A few showers coming into Scotland, | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
but temperatures with the northerly wind will be some | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
four degrees lower on Friday compared with Thursday. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:37 | |
And that's because the high pressure that is right over the UK | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
right now on Friday will have retreated out into the Atlantic | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
and that is crucial. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:44 | |
With that big area of high pressure there, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
we start to draw down our winds from the north. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
And this is the pattern that we've got as we head into the weekend. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
Those colder wins possibly coming all the way down from the Arctic. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
So, as we head to the weekend, it's getting colder, | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
a bit like it did last weekend. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:01 | |
There will be some sunshine around on Saturday, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
but there could be showers around, too. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:05 | |
And maybe a bit of sleet and snow over the hills. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
Get in a heavier shower, you may get some hail as well. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
Temperatures struggling, at six degrees in Aberdeen, | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
possibly double figures across southern England. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
And again, some sunshine on Sunday after a chilly start. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
A chilly wind blowing again with some sunshine | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
and also some showers around, too. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
So the weather pattern that we're moving into during the weekend | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
and into next week looks like this. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
This is the jet stream. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:32 | |
So there's no fast-moving jet whistling across the Atlantic, | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
instead it's moving north-south in a looping pattern. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
This is a meridional flow that we have. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
And we're on the cold side of that jet stream, it looks like, | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
throughout next week, in actual fact. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
And with this sort of configuration, | 0:02:49 | 0:02:50 | |
you find an area of low pressure to the east of the UK, | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
big area of high pressure in the Atlantic, | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
and this weather pattern is stubborn. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
This weather pattern takes a lot of shifting. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
Every time you have a high to one side, low to the east of us, | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
you are going to you're going to draw down those winds | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
from the north and just keep feeding in that colder air. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
So, this was actually a picture from last weekend | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
and this could be similar to next week, actually. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
There will be a cold feel - looks pretty cold, doesn't it? | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
There will be some sunshine, | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
some of the showers could be of a wintry flavour as well. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
And it's possible that this weather pattern, | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
bringing the colder air could linger into the start of May. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 |
