We started the week with lots of fine weather across large | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
swathes of the UK, lots of sunshine and some warmth. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
It went downhill a bit for the end of the week with some rain | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
spreading northwards and eastwards and for the start of the weekend, | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
this is the big picture, this dartboard low sat across the UK, | 0:00:13 | 0:00:17 | |
this is the sort of shot you'd expect to see in autumn, | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
not at the latter stages of summer. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
So, some unseasonably windy conditions across the UK. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
It's going to be really wet for some places as well. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
Very gusty winds associated with that low, | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
so into the afternoon, we are still looking at gale force winds | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
around the coast in the south and the west, | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
gusts getting to 50, maybe 60mph. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
High tides and some large waves in those gusty winds - | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
not a great combination. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
We'll see gusts of 40mph or more inland. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
With the trees in full leaf and lots of outdoor events planned, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
it's not good combination. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:48 | |
And to go with all that, some heavy showers or long spells of rain | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
across Northern Ireland, southern Scotland and northern England, too. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
But some brighter weather in the far north of Scotland. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
Temperature wise, well, 17 or 18 degrees for many. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
If you get brighter weather in the south-eastern corner, | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
it might pop up to 21 for a time. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
Through the evening, | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
the centre of the low is beginning to drift off into the North Sea, | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
taking its strongest winds with it but still | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
a blustery night with some showers dotted around. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
But with the wind keeping the air well mixed, | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
it's 14 or 15 degrees once again. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
The big picture for Sunday sees that first low | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
drifting away into the North Sea, | 0:01:23 | 0:01:24 | |
another system is lurking in the Atlantic | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
so on Sunday, we are in between systems. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
It is an improving day, really. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
Still a blustery day but nowhere as windy as Saturday. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
Still a few showers dotted around | 0:01:34 | 0:01:35 | |
but nowhere near as many as Saturday. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
So, with a bit more sunshine, | 0:01:37 | 0:01:38 | |
I think those temperatures should respond, the low 20s for Newcastle | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
and Glasgow, maybe up to 22 or 23 in the south-eastern corner. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:46 | |
Some rain late in the day on Sunday in the south west, | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
thanks to this weather system which is approaching from the Atlantic. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
Notice how the strongest winds stay well to the north | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
and the west of the UK. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:55 | |
Still a breezy day on Monday, with a lot of cloud, | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
and outbreaks of rain spreading to many parts. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
Quite a dull sort of day. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
23, possibly the highest temperature in the south-eastern corner. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
In the high teens further north. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
Then Monday night into Tuesday, | 0:02:07 | 0:02:08 | |
we've still got this trailing weather front | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
that is draped somewhere across the north and west of the UK. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
And I think to the north of that, | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
there may well be a shower or two but some brighter spells as well. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
To the south of that, we are starting to see temperatures rising. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
It could get up to 25 or 26 degrees in that south-eastern corner. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
High teens once again further north. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
Not a great deal of change, really, into the middle part of the week. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
We've still got that weather front draped there or thereabouts | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
across northern England and into Wales as well. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
That will bring some rain - some of that could be on the heavy side. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
To the north of that, again, a few showers, and high teens, | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
maybe the low 20s, but it's the high 20s further south, | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
some warm air is wafting its way in from the near continent. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
Now, into the latter part of next week, | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
we've still got that dividing line there or thereabouts. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
It might shift a bit further north or south. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:51 | |
To the north of it, though, it will be that bit fresher, | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
with showers dotted around. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:55 | |
To the south of that, it looks like temperatures are on the rise. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
If you were with me last night, | 0:02:58 | 0:02:59 | |
where we were looking at the temperatures in southern England, | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
this is where we should be, the green line here, | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
and you can see that previous thoughts had | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
quite a range of possibilities for those temperatures | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
through the middle part of the week. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
Now, the computer models from around the world are much more | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
together with their ideas | 0:03:15 | 0:03:16 | |
about the temperatures for Wednesday, Thursday, | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
and the general trend is for those temperatures to rise. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
But as you can see, it looks like the range of possibilities | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
becomes really quite wide again | 0:03:23 | 0:03:24 | |
as we go through Friday and on into the weekend. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
So, stay tuned for the forecast. Bye for now. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 |
