Now that climatological autumn is well underway, we'll take a look | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
back at the three months of summer. Through June, July and August. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
Well, actually, it will go down as quite a wet summer but | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
that's mainly because June itself was a very wet month. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
Actually, through July and August, | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
through the Midlands and much of southern England, | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
particularly the south-east, it was much drier than average and | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
overall temperatures were a notch or two above the seasonal norm. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:25 | |
So, quite a warm three-month spell. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
And we did see some heat, | 0:00:27 | 0:00:28 | |
the heat peaked on August 23 in Faversham | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
in Kent, with 34 Celsius. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
And we're going to see the temperatures rising again | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
through this coming week, turning warmer pretty much across the board. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
We start the new week with this weather front coming in from | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
the west. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
As you can see, there's a fair number of isobars on it, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
so that means it will be quite breezy and there will | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
be some rain with that as well. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:50 | |
Now, the rain will be trying to work its way eastwards all the while, | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
but it never really gets to the eastern side of Scotland, | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
the eastern side of England, so it stays dry here, | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
clouds over to some degree in the afternoon. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
Further west, after a wet start to the day | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
the rain becomes very light and patchy in the afternoon. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
We keep a lot of low cloud though, | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
around the coast and over some hills, generally quite | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
a warm and humid afternoon, | 0:01:08 | 0:01:09 | |
temperatures in the high teens or the low 20s. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
Then on into Tuesday, | 0:01:12 | 0:01:13 | |
and there will be a slow start to the day particularly across England | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
and Wales, with fairly extensive low cloud, | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
some mist and some fog, a little bit of rain on this weather | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
front for Northern Ireland, northern England and southern Scotland. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
And as we get on into Tuesday afternoon, | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
I think we'll begin to break up some of that cloud and it's going to | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
be warm, quite widely, 25, 26 in the south-east but even into the low | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
20s in northern Scotland. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:32 | |
And then as we get on to the middle of the week, | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
this big high in the centre of Europe, winds go | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
clockwise around that, so we are developing this southerly breeze, | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
and that's what going to be with us through the middle of the week. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
It's going to import something a little bit drier, | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
so that I think that drier air will help to evaporate that cloud | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
away, so through Wednesday morning we may well start again quite | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
grey but as that drier air drifts up from the south, | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
it will begin to break that cloud up into the afternoon, | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
so some good spells of sunshine developing. Dry virtually | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
everywhere, just the odd spot of rain in the far north and west, | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
where temperatures will be around about 15 or 16, but for many of us | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
on Wednesday it's a very warm one, into the low to middle | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
20s quite widely, could get 26 or so in the south-eastern corner. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
By Thursday, we start to see this weak weather front just | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
drifting its way in from the south, and west, | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
it will bring some outbreaks of rain with it, but it's also going | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
to drop those temperatures by a few degrees in the south and west. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
Ahead of that, with some good spells of sunshine, it's going to be | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
a very warm day, particularly so in the south-eastern corner here, | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
we could get 27 or 28 degrees but we're into the low 20s | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
quite widely. Notice those temperatures just dropping back | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
a little bit behind that weak weather front. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
Which continues to work its way ever eastwards through Thursday night | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
and on into Friday, with a bit of a breeze coming in behind that. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
So by Friday, temperatures might be down by couple of degrees in | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
comparison with Thursday, but still on the warm side. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
In the high teens or the low 20s in the south-east, | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
and many central and eastern areas looking fine and dry but | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
we will see some wetter, windier weather drifting into the | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
western side of the UK through Friday afternoon. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
Then, looking further ahead into the coming weekend, the big picture | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
sees high pressure still across central Europe. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
Low pressure to the north-west of the UK - a slightly | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
fresher breeze blowing around that low, but still, for many, | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
we've got this south-westerly breeze, | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
still bringing in some fairly warm air. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
So looking further ahead into the start of the coming week, | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
it looks we'll develop this north-west, south-east split, | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
still a bit of a breeze in the north and north-west, closer to that | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
low, some sunshine further south and still those temperatures for | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
most places will be a few degrees above normal. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
