Hello there, from a touch of frost to oppressive heat, | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
via some heavy rain and some pleasant sunshine, it's all in | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
this forecast, so stay tuned over the next three and a half minutes. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
Certainly, a coolish feel to things first thing on Wednesday, | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
yes, a touch of frost in one or two Scottish glens, | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
pretty unusual for the time of the year, | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
and we've got these fronts pushing in off the Atlantic and they are | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
going to cloud things up with time after a bright start for many. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
One of two showers across eastern counties, | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
but the main event is further west, | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
damp and dreary across Northern Ireland and this damp weather | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
will then extend its way eastwards into western parts of Scotland. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
A bit of brightness holding on across easternmost areas. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
But under the cloud cover, it will feel disappointingly cool, | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
temperatures in many of these western areas stuck in the | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
mid-teens at best. This is mid-afternoon. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
The cloud spreading across England and Wales, | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
some of that dampness turning up towards the western coast but | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
further east it should be mostly dry bar the odd shower | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
and some brightness holding on across the south-east, here the | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
best of the temperatures nudging 20 degrees in one or two places. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
Now, the fronts continue to move eastwards overnight | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
and it does mean a rather damp start here, actually, on Thursday. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
I think the rain will tend to ease off, so most of us improving | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
but I'm afraid across the north-west of Scotland it keeps on raining, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
some persistent and heavy rain here. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
Some warm sunshine developing, though, further south on Thursday. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
But I'm going to concentrate on the far north-west, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
because here we are going to see some heavy and persistent | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
rain through Thursday and perhaps into Friday, some places | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
seeing 100mm or more across the north-west Highlands. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
And it's still raining here on Friday morning. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
And a very strong wind too. A day of contrasts, | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
because down across the south and east of the country it will | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
feel very pleasant, with temperatures up into the mid-20s. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
It would be quite as warm as that as we start the weekend, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
because this front, this cold front will edge its way southwards. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
Not much rain on it, the front dying a death, | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
it's getting squashed out by high pressure. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
But a band of cloud and the odd shower perhaps for a time. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
Behind that, brighter skies, a better day for the west of Scotland, | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
though there will be the odd shower, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:03 | |
quite a fresh field here, quite warm and muggy across the south. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
Now, the cloud will break up on Sunday, so even here we will | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
see some sunshine. For most it's going to be a feel-good sort of day. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
High teens, low 20s across the board, with fairly light winds. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
To sum up this weekend, looking good if you've got outdoor plans, | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
some sunshine, most of us | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
will stay dry and it will feel pleasantly warm, | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
not too warm for most of us through this weekend. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
That could change. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
Our computer models are gaining some kind of consensus here. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
Most of them are indicating that temperatures will be on the rise | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
through the early part of next week, | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
just how hot it gets is still open to some question. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
But the message is, we are going to see much, much warmer weather | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
coming up from the south, actually, during the early part of next week. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
Here come those hot winds, exactly how hot it gets, as I say, | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
still open to some question but potentially most computer models | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
do indicate that around 30 degrees is possible. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
It's going to turn quite warm, quite muggy as well, | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
that combination of heat and humidity | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
will start to spark some thunderstorms initially | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
coming in from the south-west. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
Now, the question is, how long does the heat last? | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
And again, most computer models indicate that it's not going to | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
last long, it starts to cool again as that thundery breakdown comes in | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
from the south-west later on in the week. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
So to sum up next week, heat and humidity, then a thundery breakdown | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
around about the middle of the week, before it turns fresher again later. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
I'll update you again tomorrow. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 |
