Thanks for joining me. Let's see what the weather is up to

0:00:020:00:04

over the next few days. It is looking a little more unsettled

0:00:040:00:07

than it has been over the last week or so.

0:00:070:00:10

Turning quite a bit fresher across southern areas of the UK.

0:00:100:00:14

We had one weather front cross the country during Wednesday,

0:00:140:00:17

a cool front, introducing cloud and spots of rain.

0:00:170:00:21

There are more weather fronts in the Atlantic,

0:00:210:00:24

ready to come our way just in time for the weekend.

0:00:240:00:27

Pushed by a jet stream.

0:00:270:00:28

Also something else that will be a player in our weather forecast,

0:00:280:00:32

here it is. Hurricane Gaston

0:00:320:00:34

and other tropical storms out there in the Atlantic.

0:00:340:00:36

They will be, to some small extent,

0:00:360:00:39

influencing the type of weather we get.

0:00:390:00:42

In the short term, this is what it looks like on Thursday.

0:00:420:00:45

Actually, the weather is not bad

0:00:450:00:46

across most of England and Wales during the morning.

0:00:460:00:49

You can see weather fronts across the north-west of the UK

0:00:490:00:51

bringing cloud and outbreaks of rain.

0:00:510:00:54

Fresher here as a result, around 16 for Glasgow and Belfast.

0:00:540:00:58

Still around 22 or 23 across the south-east of the country.

0:00:580:01:03

As we head into Thursday evening and Friday,

0:01:030:01:06

this weather system continues to move across northern areas,

0:01:060:01:09

approaches Wales and the south-west.

0:01:090:01:11

So here, too, it will turn cloudier and we'll get spots of rain.

0:01:110:01:15

Look at that, early on Friday still just about dry and in the

0:01:150:01:18

afternoon, there will be thicker cloud and spots of rain.

0:01:180:01:21

Those temperatures continue to fall away,

0:01:210:01:24

just 21, that's 70 Fahrenheit in London.

0:01:240:01:27

For most of us, it will be in the teens, around 16 or 17.

0:01:270:01:30

Here's the big view across the Atlantic for Saturday.

0:01:300:01:33

Daisy-chain of weather fronts.

0:01:330:01:35

Here is ex-hurricane Gaston,

0:01:350:01:37

which will be entrained into our weather system. It'll fizzle out.

0:01:370:01:41

What does that mean for all of us?

0:01:410:01:43

It basically means that during Friday night into Saturday,

0:01:430:01:46

we will see this weather system coming in.

0:01:460:01:49

There's no real remnants of Gaston in this weather system but

0:01:490:01:53

it is going to be bringing us strengthening winds and

0:01:530:01:56

outbreaks of rain.

0:01:560:01:57

But it is very uncertain because of those ex-hurricanes exactly

0:01:570:02:01

how these weather systems are going to behave.

0:02:010:02:04

That's what happens in weather forecasting.

0:02:040:02:06

Anything coming from the tropics throws a wobbly when it

0:02:060:02:09

comes to determining exactly where these pulses of heavy rain

0:02:090:02:12

are going to go.

0:02:120:02:13

The same goes on Sunday, tropical air way to the south,

0:02:130:02:17

and remnants of other tropical storms still merging with

0:02:170:02:21

our own weather patterns across more northern climes here.

0:02:210:02:25

So Sunday very uncertain exactly where the rainfall is going

0:02:250:02:29

to go but I think, suffice to say, it is going to be

0:02:290:02:31

a fairly unsettled day and rain is possible almost at any time.

0:02:310:02:35

Southern areas probably quite likely to get some of that rain.

0:02:350:02:38

I want to show you what is going to be happening on Monday.

0:02:380:02:40

We will strip the weather fronts away because they are

0:02:400:02:43

uncertain where they are going to be.

0:02:430:02:44

High pressure starts to build across the south of the country and

0:02:440:02:48

towards the south-west,

0:02:480:02:50

we could still see remnants of tropical storms and they will

0:02:500:02:54

be pushing humidity, tropical air in our way so that means that

0:02:540:02:59

with high pressure building here, that warm air coming from the

0:02:590:03:02

south, it could turn quite warm, but low pressure to the

0:03:020:03:06

north-west means that the weather could stay unsettled across

0:03:060:03:10

the north-west of the UK.

0:03:100:03:11

In the north-west we have to be prepared for sunshine but

0:03:110:03:14

rain at times, whereas in the south of the country,

0:03:140:03:17

with those warm southerly winds that I showed you,

0:03:170:03:20

it looks as though things could still turn quite warm.

0:03:200:03:23

So summer is not quite over yet, we will be into meteorological

0:03:230:03:26

autumn by this stage, but there could be a warm spell still.

0:03:260:03:29

0:03:370:03:39
