Hello there. Well, what a week it has been. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
Some extreme record-breaking heat for September, | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
but also some significant stormy weather. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
Now, the week ahead looks a little more benign | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
and probably, you will be pleased to hear, | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
a little more autumnal in flavour. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
Yes, some cloud around and outbreaks of rain from time to time. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
But in between those cloudy, wet spells, | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
there'll also be some breaks in the cloud | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
and some sunshine coming through. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
Now, if we have clear spells by day, | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
through the night, as we get into the middle of September, | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
we could see some mist and fog forming | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
and some of that may well be slow to clear. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
So more of an autumnal flavour to our weather | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
as we go through the week. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
There will be some dry weather in the offing | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
and some sunshine coming through on Sunday. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
A better day in prospect across much of eastern England, | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
particularly in comparison to the cloudy skies on Saturday. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
Now, north-west Scotland and Northern Ireland | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
will see some outbreaks of rain, some of it heavy at times. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
Clouding over across eastern Scotland | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
and maybe through north-west England and Wales. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
More cloud around than we've seen on Saturday. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
Hopefully, though, further east of that | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
the cloud should start to break up, | 0:01:03 | 0:01:04 | |
we'll see some sunshine coming through. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
More sunshine across eastern England in comparison to Saturday. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
And temperatures will be a degree or so higher, 20 or 21 degrees here. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:14 | |
That weather front that's bringing the rain into the north-west | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
slowly sweeps its way south and east, | 0:01:17 | 0:01:18 | |
but it's really going to take its time in doing so | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
and will weaken off a band of cloud | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
and the odd spot or two of showery, drizzly rain by Monday. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
Ahead of it, we see some brightness and 19 degrees. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
Behind, fresher, but a little more sunshine coming through. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
And that is going to be the theme as we run through the week, really. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
That weather front slowly meandering its way south and east. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
By the time it clears away from the south-east corner, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
really just a band of cloud, the odd spit and spot in the wind. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
Brighter, fresher conditions follow on from behind. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
But with those clearer skies, | 0:01:48 | 0:01:49 | |
we could see some patchy mist and fog forming. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
14 or 15 degrees to the north-west, | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
still a little warmer in the south-east with highs of 20 degrees. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
On Wednesday, there will be a good deal of dry weather in the offing, | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
albeit on the cloudy side. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
A more significant area of cloud, wind and rain | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
into Northern Ireland and Western Scotland | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
looks likely to be the feature. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
And this, again, is going to make | 0:02:09 | 0:02:10 | |
painfully slow progress further east. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
So we will see some wet and windy weather | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
continuing across north-west Scotland and north-west England | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
for a time and rainfall totals will tot up. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
But elsewhere, cloudy skies and the odd spot or two of rain | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
and a little warmer here with 19 degrees. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
So Thursday looks like a pretty messy day. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
What's happening at the moment | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
is we are dragging in this cold air from the Arctic | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
and it's bumping into the warm tropical air | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
that we've got across the Atlantic at the moment. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
Where the two meet, that's where we really see the battleground, | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
more energy into the atmosphere, | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
and that is invigorating the jet stream at the moment. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
Now, usually when we get a fast-moving jet across the country, | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
it throws these areas of low pressure | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
and these frontal systems across the UK | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
and it stays pretty unsettled. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
But as you can see, there's quite a significant kink | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
in the jet stream at the moment and the reason being | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
is an area of high pressure across the near continent | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
and that's blocking, it's preventing the low pressures | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
from moving across the country. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:08 | |
So they're sitting up into the north-west | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
and pushing across the north-west. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
That's where the most unsettled weather is likely to be. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
So for the longer six- to ten-day period, | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
it remains pretty changeable. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
The wettest of the weather looks likely to remain in the north-west, | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
with the driest in the south-east. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
Don't forget, where we get those clear skies, | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
we get some patchy mist and fog forming. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
Take care. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:30 |
