Hello, there. A hurricane could have an effect on our weather

0:00:020:00:05

in the week ahead. A positive effect, rather than a negative one,

0:00:050:00:08

as we'll see in a moment. There has to be good news,

0:00:080:00:10

after the awful storms that swept across the heart of England

0:00:100:00:12

during the course of the day on Saturday.

0:00:120:00:14

Every picture tells a story.

0:00:140:00:16

It's still pretty wet out there in some places.

0:00:160:00:18

First thing on Sunday, all the wet weather across

0:00:180:00:21

Northern England, Southern Scotland as well, some showers further south.

0:00:210:00:25

Some of these showers will drift their way eastwards, but they won't

0:00:250:00:28

be the violent thunderstorms which some of us encountered on Saturday.

0:00:280:00:31

A scattering of showers, though,

0:00:310:00:32

for central and eastern parts of Scotland. Drier out west.

0:00:320:00:34

Some reasonable weather for Northern Ireland.

0:00:340:00:37

An improving story for Northern England as well.

0:00:370:00:40

Now, after some morning showers across parts of Wales and

0:00:400:00:42

south-west England, increasing amounts of sunshine here,

0:00:420:00:45

particularly towards the coast. Good news if you're heading to the beach.

0:00:450:00:48

These showers tracking their way eastwards.

0:00:480:00:49

One or two thundery showers, but, again,

0:00:490:00:51

not the violent storms we've had.

0:00:510:00:52

Not as warm as it has been across the south-east but still

0:00:520:00:55

pleasant enough, if you're going to the Notting Hill Carnival,

0:00:550:00:58

for example. Fine weather for Monday as well. Warming up a touch too.

0:00:580:01:01

I'm pretty optimistic, actually.

0:01:010:01:02

If you've got plans for Bank Holiday Monday.

0:01:020:01:04

Just in time, we'll have a little ridge of high pressure toppling

0:01:040:01:07

across the country and that will settle the weather down at

0:01:070:01:10

least for a time. Plenty of dry and bright weather.

0:01:100:01:12

Most of us, nearly all of us, will be dry.

0:01:120:01:14

It will feel very nice indeed in the sunshine,

0:01:140:01:16

with light winds across the south.

0:01:160:01:17

A bit fresher further North, approaching weather front clouding

0:01:170:01:20

things up, but the rain should hold off till later on across

0:01:200:01:23

the west of Scotland and Northern Ireland.

0:01:230:01:25

A glancing blow from that weather system,

0:01:250:01:27

the high pressure holding firm further South across the country,

0:01:270:01:30

so I'm pretty optimistic that the fine weather will continue

0:01:300:01:33

across the more central and Southern areas on Tuesday

0:01:330:01:35

and the sunshine, again, temperatures are doing pretty well,

0:01:350:01:38

beginning to warm up again.

0:01:380:01:40

Approaching weather front across Northern Ireland and Scotland

0:01:400:01:43

will strengthen the winds,

0:01:430:01:44

with the rain not too far away during the course of Tuesday.

0:01:440:01:47

And that weather front will start to edge its way southwards and

0:01:470:01:51

eastwards in a very erratic way through Tuesday into Wednesday,

0:01:510:01:53

with some outbreaks of rain. The progress of that weather front

0:01:530:01:56

a little bit uncertain and certainly across the more southern

0:01:560:01:59

and eastern areas it should stay fine again and pretty warm.

0:01:590:02:01

Behind that weather system, brightening up.

0:02:010:02:03

Cooler and fresher here with a westerly breeze holding those

0:02:030:02:06

temperatures in the mid to high teens.

0:02:060:02:08

Now, the progress of that weather front, as I say,

0:02:080:02:10

is a little bit uncertain.

0:02:100:02:12

It will end its way down towards the south-east with the odd

0:02:120:02:15

shower here, I think, on Thursday and it will start to turn

0:02:150:02:18

a bit cooler as that front arrives.

0:02:180:02:20

Behind that, it'll be bright with some sunshine but the next

0:02:200:02:24

weather system will be arriving off the Atlantic with the threat

0:02:240:02:27

of some showery rain late on in the day.

0:02:270:02:29

And certainly, as we end the week,

0:02:290:02:32

it does look as if the Atlantic will take over, if you like, with

0:02:320:02:35

the weather fronts coming in from the west and some of the rain

0:02:350:02:38

across the more northern parts of the UK could well be quite

0:02:380:02:40

heavy and accompanied by quite a strong and gusty wind.

0:02:400:02:43

That's the message, then, as we end the week.

0:02:430:02:45

It'll be cooler for all of us. There'll be some rain around.

0:02:450:02:47

The driest weather across the south-east,

0:02:470:02:49

the wettest and windiest weather across the more north-western areas.

0:02:490:02:52

Now, I mentioned that hurricane.

0:02:520:02:54

I'm going to take you down into the tropical Atlantic,

0:02:540:02:57

where we've got Hurricane Gaston.

0:02:570:02:59

It will start to head its way northwards and if you've been

0:02:590:03:01

watching this bulletin over the last few hours,

0:03:010:03:03

we do think it will eventually get sort of swept up by the

0:03:030:03:08

jet stream, start to head in our direction.

0:03:080:03:10

But no longer a hurricane,

0:03:100:03:11

an area of low pressure, quite an intense low.

0:03:110:03:13

But it looks as though it's going to stall out across the Azores

0:03:130:03:17

and that means it's going to build up an area of high pressure

0:03:170:03:21

closer to home and, as we go through the weekend,

0:03:210:03:24

that high looks as if it'll edge in towards us,

0:03:240:03:26

settling the weather down into the early part of next week.

0:03:260:03:29

See you tomorrow.
