At times this weekend, you could kid yourself it's the end of April. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
At other times, it feels like the beginning of March. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
Now, how long is this chilly spell going to continue? | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
Well, throughout the coming week, I fancy. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
Sunshine and blustery showers, | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
some of those showers quite wintry with an ongoing risk of frost. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
So, where should we be at this time of year? | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
Temperatures should be around 14 degrees by day, | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
but through this week, we will not reach those dizzy heights. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
The coldest weather around Tuesday/Wednesday, | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
a slow recovery by then, | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
but really not warmth enough for the time of year. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
The reason - the persistent northerly winds. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
That's the set-up as we go through Sunday and, | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
within those northerlies, | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
we've got bands of showers | 0:00:41 | 0:00:42 | |
and showers will affect some parts of the country | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
as we go through the day. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:46 | |
One such cluster moving down through Wales | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
and western parts of England | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
into parts of the Midlands as well. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:52 | |
Mostly rain, but a bit of sleet or snow | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
over the highest ground and still some showers | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
brushing down that North Sea coast, | 0:00:57 | 0:00:58 | |
but actually a lot of sunshine in between | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
and in the sunshine, out of the breeze, | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
it doesn't feel too bad, 12 or 13 degrees. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
When those showers come along in the wind, | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
it feels very wintry indeed. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
And as we go into the evening, | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
temperatures will fall sharply under clear skies | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
before more showers, a real packet of showers | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
come into the more northern | 0:01:17 | 0:01:18 | |
and western parts of the UK. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
It is going to feel cold | 0:01:20 | 0:01:21 | |
first thing on Monday morning in the countryside, | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
not far off freezing, | 0:01:24 | 0:01:25 | |
particularly through the glens of Scotland, | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
which means the showers will again be quite wintry here. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
At the other end of the UK, | 0:01:31 | 0:01:32 | |
it could be a sunny start to the day | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
across East Anglia and the south-east, | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
but don't rely on that sunshine | 0:01:36 | 0:01:37 | |
because the showers will be piling into the more northern | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
and western areas | 0:01:40 | 0:01:41 | |
and they'll be quite blustery, quite sharp showers. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
It won't feel very friendly out there | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
as you journey to work. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:46 | |
Some sunshine to the east of the Pennines, | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
but a whole lot of showers out west | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
and they'll be in evidence across Northern Ireland. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
The Central Belt with some shelter | 0:01:53 | 0:01:54 | |
from the northerly wind might not be too bad, | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
but across the Highlands and the Grampians, | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
the showers will be falling as snow | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
down to quite low levels at times, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
but not disruptive snow, we don't think. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
Now, as we go through the day, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:05 | |
the showers will continue to pile their way | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
down towards the south and the east. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
Following on behind again will be some sunshine, | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
but nowhere will it be warm. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
As we go from Monday into Tuesday, | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
we'll see low pressure moving down the North Sea, | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
a real squeeze in the isobars | 0:02:18 | 0:02:19 | |
along the eastern side of the UK | 0:02:19 | 0:02:20 | |
and we could see a good old gale | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
blowing down the North Sea coast. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
Wind chill will be significant. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
That's not usually a phrase | 0:02:26 | 0:02:27 | |
I'd be using at this time of year, | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
but it will be a cold wind | 0:02:29 | 0:02:30 | |
with further blustery showers - | 0:02:30 | 0:02:31 | |
the best of the drier | 0:02:31 | 0:02:32 | |
and brighter weather further west. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
By Wednesday, that low pressure beginning to ease away | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
so perhaps the winds dying down a touch, | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
but still the focus of showers | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
across the more eastern areas. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:41 | |
They could be wintry up over the highest ground. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
The closest to the high pressure out west, | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
the best of the dry weather, | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
but then we're going to see another developing area | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
of low pressure coming in from the north-west. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
Nailing down the detail of that | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
at this range is not easy. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:54 | |
Suffice it to say, we could see some more general wet | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
and windy weather pushing in initially | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
to more north-western areas, | 0:02:59 | 0:03:00 | |
pushing down towards the south-east | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
and it could be cold enough | 0:03:02 | 0:03:03 | |
for snow over the high ground. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:04 | |
So, another shot of cold air | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
coming in from the north-west. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:07 | |
Next weekend, well, | 0:03:07 | 0:03:08 | |
warm air's trying to come in, | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
but low pressure anchored across the UK | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
is going to keep things cool. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
We don't have a supply of Arctic air | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
from the North Pole | 0:03:16 | 0:03:17 | |
so it probably won't be just as cold. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
Let's say less chilly. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
With that low pressure in residence, | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
rain at times is very likely. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:24 | |
Some sunshine, | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
but there is absolutely no sign of anything hot. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
See you tomorrow. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:29 | |
The voice you're hearing is mine. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
It was recorded last night after I had a few pints. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 |
