0:00:02 > 0:00:04Hello. After a few days of very warm,
0:00:04 > 0:00:06muggy air and a few thunderstorms,
0:00:06 > 0:00:08the weather is going to change over the week ahead.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12We look at the situation that we've seen over the past few days -
0:00:12 > 0:00:14this is the position of the jet stream.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16It's been quite kinked over the UK,
0:00:16 > 0:00:20but it's allowed us to draw in this warmer and humid air.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23The jet stream is quite weak and it looks like it's going to
0:00:23 > 0:00:27change orientation over the next couple of days.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Right now, though, we've got some showers in the story for Friday,
0:00:30 > 0:00:33particularly developing across more northern parts of the UK.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35We could see some patchy rain, though, slipping into the far
0:00:35 > 0:00:39south-west of England, possibly into the south-west of Wales as well.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41More cloud around, certainly, on Friday.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43But still some hazy sunshine
0:00:43 > 0:00:45and for most of the day, it'll be dry across the south-east
0:00:45 > 0:00:48and East Anglia and this is where it will still feel quite warm as well.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52But much cooler, I think, for Scotland, notably in Glasgow.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54We'll see some more of those showers continuing overnight.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Some more organised rain coming into Wales, the south-west,
0:00:57 > 0:01:00maybe some southern parts of England towards the south-east as well.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02A lot of cloud around, certainly,
0:01:02 > 0:01:04so that is going to keep the temperatures on the high side.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Except to the north of the rain in Scotland.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09We've got a weather front on the scene across northern
0:01:09 > 0:01:11parts of the UK, but this is going to be the main driving force
0:01:11 > 0:01:13of our weather as we head through the weekend.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14It's still a long way off,
0:01:14 > 0:01:17but it will push in showers or longer spells of rain.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19The longer spells of rain and drizzle will mainly
0:01:19 > 0:01:23be across Scotland on Saturday, so quite a cool-feeling day here.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26The rest of the UK seeing some sunshine at times,
0:01:26 > 0:01:28but there will be some showers around as well.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31A few heavier ones across western parts of England and Wales.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34But still in some sunshine in this muggy air
0:01:34 > 0:01:36and it should feel quite warm again.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Now as we head through to the second half of the weekend, we're going
0:01:39 > 0:01:42to find this area of low pressure pushing weather fronts our way.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45So we're going to find the cloud thickening up
0:01:45 > 0:01:48and there'll be some outbreaks of rain and drizzle pushing across
0:01:48 > 0:01:51many parts of the country, possibly replaced by some breezier
0:01:51 > 0:01:55conditions in the south-west and maybe a few showers as well.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Probably going to be a drier day for Scotland, but still not that warm.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Temperatures will be a little lower for many
0:02:00 > 0:02:03parts of the country by Sunday.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Quite a tangle, if you like, of weather fronts.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Quite a complicated picture on Monday.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10It simplifies, though, as we head into Tuesday.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13So we're looking at some showers, some longer spells of rain,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16some breezy conditions across southern parts of England
0:02:16 > 0:02:19and Wales and the far north of Scotland as well.
0:02:19 > 0:02:2116 degrees in the central belt.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Possibly 20 in London if you're lucky.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26More simplified, as I say, on Tuesday.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Remove all the fronts, essentially what you've got is
0:02:28 > 0:02:31an area of low pressure that is sitting very close to the UK.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34For many of us, there's not much wind at all,
0:02:34 > 0:02:37so the showers will be slow moving. Could be heavy as well.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39A fresher, stronger breeze across southern parts of England
0:02:39 > 0:02:41and Wales once again.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45So let's head beyond Tuesday and we looked at the jet stream
0:02:45 > 0:02:48earlier on and this is how it's looking next week.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50I said it was changing position.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52It's diving much further south allowing us
0:02:52 > 0:02:54to go into the cooler air.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56But again, we could see another kink
0:02:56 > 0:02:59in the jet stream pushing in later next week.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00In that cooler air,
0:03:00 > 0:03:03we're going to be sitting close to an area of low pressure.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06That, though, may just shrink or retreat away towards Scandinavia
0:03:06 > 0:03:10later on in the week, allowing, with that kink in the jet stream,
0:03:10 > 0:03:13to push in a ridge of high pressure towards the UK,
0:03:13 > 0:03:15perhaps settling things down for a while.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18But on the whole, still very unsettled, some rain at times,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21some slow-moving downpours with light winds.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Drier maybe later on next week, but possibly only briefly.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29More details, I'll be back with those again tomorrow. Goodbye.
