Hello, there. A hurricane could have an effect on our weather | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
in the week ahead. A positive effect, rather than a negative one, | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
as we'll see in a moment. There has to be good news, | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
after the awful storms that swept across the heart of England | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
during the course of the day on Saturday. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
Every picture tells a story. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
It's still pretty wet out there in some places. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
First thing on Sunday, all the wet weather across | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
Northern England, Southern Scotland as well, some showers further south. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:25 | |
Some of these showers will drift their way eastwards, but they won't | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
be the violent thunderstorms which some of us encountered on Saturday. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
A scattering of showers, though, | 0:00:31 | 0:00:32 | |
for central and eastern parts of Scotland. Drier out west. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
Some reasonable weather for Northern Ireland. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
An improving story for Northern England as well. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
Now, after some morning showers across parts of Wales and | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
south-west England, increasing amounts of sunshine here, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
particularly towards the coast. Good news if you're heading to the beach. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
These showers tracking their way eastwards. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:49 | |
One or two thundery showers, but, again, | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
not the violent storms we've had. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:52 | |
Not as warm as it has been across the south-east but still | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
pleasant enough, if you're going to the Notting Hill Carnival, | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
for example. Fine weather for Monday as well. Warming up a touch too. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
I'm pretty optimistic, actually. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
If you've got plans for Bank Holiday Monday. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
Just in time, we'll have a little ridge of high pressure toppling | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
across the country and that will settle the weather down at | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
least for a time. Plenty of dry and bright weather. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
Most of us, nearly all of us, will be dry. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
It will feel very nice indeed in the sunshine, | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
with light winds across the south. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:17 | |
A bit fresher further North, approaching weather front clouding | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
things up, but the rain should hold off till later on across | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
the west of Scotland and Northern Ireland. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
A glancing blow from that weather system, | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
the high pressure holding firm further South across the country, | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
so I'm pretty optimistic that the fine weather will continue | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
across the more central and Southern areas on Tuesday | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
and the sunshine, again, temperatures are doing pretty well, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
beginning to warm up again. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
Approaching weather front across Northern Ireland and Scotland | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
will strengthen the winds, | 0:01:43 | 0:01:44 | |
with the rain not too far away during the course of Tuesday. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
And that weather front will start to edge its way southwards and | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
eastwards in a very erratic way through Tuesday into Wednesday, | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
with some outbreaks of rain. The progress of that weather front | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
a little bit uncertain and certainly across the more southern | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
and eastern areas it should stay fine again and pretty warm. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
Behind that weather system, brightening up. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
Cooler and fresher here with a westerly breeze holding those | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
temperatures in the mid to high teens. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
Now, the progress of that weather front, as I say, | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
is a little bit uncertain. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
It will end its way down towards the south-east with the odd | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
shower here, I think, on Thursday and it will start to turn | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
a bit cooler as that front arrives. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
Behind that, it'll be bright with some sunshine but the next | 0:02:20 | 0:02:24 | |
weather system will be arriving off the Atlantic with the threat | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
of some showery rain late on in the day. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
And certainly, as we end the week, | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
it does look as if the Atlantic will take over, if you like, with | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
the weather fronts coming in from the west and some of the rain | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
across the more northern parts of the UK could well be quite | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
heavy and accompanied by quite a strong and gusty wind. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
That's the message, then, as we end the week. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
It'll be cooler for all of us. There'll be some rain around. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
The driest weather across the south-east, | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
the wettest and windiest weather across the more north-western areas. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
Now, I mentioned that hurricane. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
I'm going to take you down into the tropical Atlantic, | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
where we've got Hurricane Gaston. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
It will start to head its way northwards and if you've been | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
watching this bulletin over the last few hours, | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
we do think it will eventually get sort of swept up by the | 0:03:03 | 0:03:08 | |
jet stream, start to head in our direction. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
But no longer a hurricane, | 0:03:10 | 0:03:11 | |
an area of low pressure, quite an intense low. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
But it looks as though it's going to stall out across the Azores | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
and that means it's going to build up an area of high pressure | 0:03:17 | 0:03:21 | |
closer to home and, as we go through the weekend, | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
that high looks as if it'll edge in towards us, | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
settling the weather down into the early part of next week. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
See you tomorrow. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:30 |
