Hello there. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:03 | |
If you're feeling hard done by the summer so far, | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
it's easy to understand | 0:00:06 | 0:00:07 | |
when we look at the Met Office stats for the month of June. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
It was a particularly dull month as far as sunshine | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
amounts are concerned, especially for England and Wales. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
The grey colours indicating where sunshine fell well | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
short of where we normally expect this time of year. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
It was to eastern and southern areas where we saw | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
some of the wettest conditions, the dark blue colours - | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
parts of Aberdeenshire, and down towards East Anglia and the | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
south-east, seeing over double their normal June rainfall. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
It was driest to the north and to the west. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
This week, though, we switch things around a little bit. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
The jet stream, compared to last week, | 0:00:33 | 0:00:34 | |
has moved a bit further north, and so it's going to be further north | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
and west where oncoming low-pressure systems will be centred. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
That was the case on Monday, | 0:00:41 | 0:00:42 | |
one pushing across the northern half of the UK, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
and it will be the case with this area of cloud | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
and low pressure pushing in for Wednesday. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
Followed by this one later on Thursday. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
Now, at the moment, we've got a break between the weather systems, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
Tuesday will be a drier day for many, a brighter day as well. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
There will be lots of showers across Scotland and some of those | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
will transfer into north-east England later on. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
But quite a blustery start to the day, meaning that with those winds | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
from the north-west it will feel a bit fresher out there | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
compared with some of you experienced on Monday. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
But by comparison, | 0:01:11 | 0:01:12 | |
a bit more sunshine across western Scotland and Northern Ireland, | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
and parts of northern England - certainly welcome. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
Now the rain that we do see, | 0:01:17 | 0:01:18 | |
and the showers to take us into the first part of Tuesday night, | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
will quickly depart. Going into Wednesday, most places will be dry. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
Away from the towns and cities, | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
though, it will be a rather cool start with temperatures | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
down into single figures but it should be a bright start to the day. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
We start Wednesday with a little ridge of high pressure | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
keeping things dry initially, | 0:01:34 | 0:01:35 | |
but I mentioned low-pressure systems in the Atlantic, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
one will be slowly working its way into the north and the west. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
Bringing rain through the morning into Northern Ireland | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
and eventually into the afternoon - western parts of Scotland. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
One or two spots of western England | 0:01:46 | 0:01:47 | |
and Wales could see some rain at times later on. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
Most of you, though, will have a drier Wednesday | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
and it will start to feel a little bit warmer again. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
Warmer still for those in the south and east as we go into Thursday, | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
that low-pressure system links into the next one, | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
but starting to bring in the winds from the south | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
and the west. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:03 | |
Boosting temperatures and boosting the mugginess across southern | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
parts, where, to the south-east, it could stay dry all day. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
Not a bad day in north-eastern Scotland, | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
but in between lots of cloud, some patchy rain or drizzle. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
And through the day that rain or drizzle will get heavier | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
and heavier from the west. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
That system, though, clears off into the near Continent, | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
through Thursday night into Friday, fizzling as it goes. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
Another brief ridge of high pressure builds in across the UK, | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
the flow is still coming in from the south-west, generally speaking, | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
so temperatures will hold up quite nicely. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
And when the sun comes out, it will feel another warm | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
and muggy day, especially to the south and east. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
So varying amounts of sunshine, most places dry, | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
but rain into the north-west later. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
And then to find out what happens for the weekend, we have to take | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
ourselves over to the States and what happened on July the fourth. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
Big storms across eastern areas, that forms an area of low pressure | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
which will get picked up by the jet stream, | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
developed into quite a nasty low and spun up to the north-west. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
I think we will avoid the worst stage of that low-pressure | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
system but certainly for Saturday it will bring outbreaks of rain, | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
certainly into northern and western areas, | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
some pushing its way eastwards. Quite a blustery day too, | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
the strongest of the winds in north-west Scotland, | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
but elsewhere with the winds coming from the south - | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
note the temperatures, probably the warmest day of the week. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
That low-pressure system works across into Sunday, | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
next week the jet stream still dominates, | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
so we're going to see that alternating pattern of some drier, | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
sunnier, warmer moments with the cooler and wetter weather too. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
Coolest and wettest always to the north-west of the UK, | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
much like this week. Sunniest and warmest, at times, | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
for the south and the east. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
We'll keep you updated. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
You're going to have to keep your head down, Michael. No! | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 |
