Hello. Sunday was a day of sunny spells and scattered showers. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
Eastern England had a beautiful day. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
Look at this Weather Watcher's photo of the Humber - | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
just a little bit of fair-weather cumulus cloud, highs of 19 Celsius. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
Different story, though, out to Devon, | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
with threatening-looking skies | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
and some pretty intense showers from time to time. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
Now, it looks as though we keep | 0:00:22 | 0:00:23 | |
the sunny spells and scattered showers theme through Monday | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
but most of the showers fairly organised | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
in a line through the spine of the country during the day | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
so there will be, perhaps, fewer showers around | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
and a little more in the way of sunshine to look forward to. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
Not too bad into the afternoon across Northern Ireland | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
and for the bulk of Scotland. Showers, yes, through the Grampians | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
and into eastern Scotland, but highs of around 17 degrees in the sun. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
Some of the showers across the Pennines, | 0:00:47 | 0:00:48 | |
down into the Peak District, | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
heavy, slow-moving, maybe the odd rumble of thunder. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
But for Wales and the south-west there'll be fewer showers around. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
It'll feel quite pleasant in the sunshine, | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
temperatures maybe into the mid to high teens. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
A cluster of showers across the south here, | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
but in sheltered Eastern areas a little drier and brighter. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
Already, though, the breeze starting to come in | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
across the chilly North Sea. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:10 | |
The showers will start to fade away through the night. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
It stays quite quiet, but it also | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
stays noticeably chilly through the night. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
In rural parts we'll see low single figures | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
to greet us on Tuesday morning. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
So with high pressure in the driving seat | 0:01:22 | 0:01:23 | |
centred to the northern half of the country, | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
Tuesday looks likely to be perhaps the driest day of the week, | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
but the winds circulating around that high, | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
coming in off that coolish North Sea, always running the risk | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
of driving a little more cloud along the east coast. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
An odd isolated shower here and there, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
but sheltered western areas seeing the best of the sunshine and warmth. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
Again, mid to high teens, | 0:01:43 | 0:01:44 | |
along the east coast, 9 to 12 degrees at the very best. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
Moving out of Tuesday into Wednesday, | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
we need to keep an eye on this low pressure drifting out of Scandinavia | 0:01:51 | 0:01:55 | |
across the North Sea. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:56 | |
There is a level of uncertainty to the timing of this low at the moment | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
but it looks likely to come onshore during the middle part of Wednesday | 0:01:59 | 0:02:03 | |
bringing some wet and windy weather, | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
and underneath that cloud, wind and rain, | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
it's going to be a pretty dismal day. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
Perhaps, again, to the west, the best. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
10 to 12, then, in the cloud and the rain, | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
but even so temperatures are looking more disappointing elsewhere - | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
13 to 15 degrees the high. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
We see that low drifting away, | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
but drawing your attention down to the south-west, | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
with another low just nudging toward the south-western half of the UK. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
And that's going to interact with weather fronts as well, | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
dragging in this warmer, more humid air. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
So as we get towards the end of the week there is potential | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
for the temperatures to recover, | 0:02:37 | 0:02:38 | |
but there's also the potential for some pretty sharp thundery downpours | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
to develop on Friday. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
Highs of 20 degrees not out of the question, | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
68 Fahrenheit. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
The best of the drier weather likely to be further north. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
So for the remainder of this week, then, | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
dry for most of us at the beginning despite a few isolated showers, | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
some rain through the middle of the week, | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
then there's the potential for some thundery showers later on. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
Now as we move into next weekend, and yes, the Bank Holiday weekend, | 0:03:02 | 0:03:07 | |
yes, this looks likely to be the scenario, | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
with low pressure still sitting out towards the south-west, | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
still dragging in this warmer, humid air. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
So the start of the Bank Holiday weekend looks likely to be thundery | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
from time to time, but still quite warm. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
A little bit cooler, drier and sunnier across the far north, | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
but there are indications as we move into the second half of the weekend | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
that even the thunderstorms should start to ease. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
A lot to play for by then - we will keep you updated. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
Nothing lasts forever, does it? | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
My mum's dying. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:40 | |
It's actually happening. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 |
