Well, the weekend's upon us and the weather is looking | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
a little bit mixed, has to be said - | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
a bit like today, actually. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
For many of us, it was a fine day, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
but we also had a few big showers, | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
some big cumulonimbus clouds | 0:00:13 | 0:00:14 | |
bringing downpours in one or two areas, | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
but also sunshine with fair-weather clouds. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
We saw lots of these cloud streets - | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
you can see them on the satellite picture | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
that I'll show you - | 0:00:23 | 0:00:24 | |
we had this west-southwesterly flow of wind | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
and these shower clouds developing | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
along the flow of that wind. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:30 | |
But notice this area of cloud here | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
that is now drifting off the Atlantic. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
That is unfortunately going to upset | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
the weather for us during the course of Saturday. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
So here it is for the early hours | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
of Saturday morning - | 0:00:42 | 0:00:43 | |
another area of low pressure | 0:00:43 | 0:00:44 | |
drifts in off the Atlantic and, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
unfortunately, this will be stuck | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
across the country all through the day. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
So not everybody will be happy | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
with the weather on Saturday. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
Some of us, the unfortunate few, | 0:00:54 | 0:00:55 | |
underneath this band of cloud and rain, | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
could have temperatures of around 10 degrees. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
There could be thunder and lightning. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
The winner this time | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
will be the northern portion of the UK - | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
northern England, Northern Ireland | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
and Scotland, some sunshine. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:07 | |
Very quickly, that low pressure | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
will drift away towards the east | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
then this - | 0:01:11 | 0:01:12 | |
what we call a ridge of high pressure - | 0:01:12 | 0:01:13 | |
is going to develop for Sunday, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
so Sunday is actually looking fine. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
A lot of clear skies early on Sunday. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
That means that it will be a chilly start to the day, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
particularly in rural areas. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:23 | |
In fact, in Scotland and Northern Ireland, | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
there will be a touch of frost first thing. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
So, cold morning, maybe a bit of mist, | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
but the day will be gloriously sunny | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
across most of the country, here. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
Just the outer edges of that low pressure | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
that we had on Saturday visible, here, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
but for most of us, | 0:01:37 | 0:01:38 | |
we are in-between weather systems, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
hence, a glorious day. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:41 | |
Remember, that ridge of high pressure, | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
sitting right on top of us, | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
giving these fine conditions. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:46 | |
Temperatures will average around 15, | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
could get up to 18 degrees Celsius | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
in London. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
Now, this high pressure will stick around | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
across this part of Europe for quite some time. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
I'll be focusing on that over the next minute or so. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
Weather fronts trying to come in off the Atlantic, | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
but they can't - in fact, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:02 | |
the thinking is, on Monday, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
there will be a weather front | 0:02:04 | 0:02:05 | |
knocking on the door of Northern Ireland | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
and western parts of Scotland, | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
but the vast majority of the UK, | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
enjoying these south-southeasterly winds, | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
and that means the temperatures will rise. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
Could be not far off 20 degrees in London. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
Something of an Indian summer, there, | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
across the south-east. Now, come Monday - | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
this is the jet stream, actually - | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
notice this big kink and how it diverts northwards. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
When this happens, | 0:02:26 | 0:02:27 | |
the jet stream tends to stall weather fronts | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
just to the west of our neighbourhood, | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
and a high pressure here across Scandinavia | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
means these weather fronts | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
can't actually nudge through. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:37 | |
Well, they kind of do, | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
but they fizzle away and then drift towards | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
the north-west, so Scotland actually | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
may get a little rain on Tuesday, | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
but just how much is still uncertain. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
This is Tuesday night into Wednesday - | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
that weather front dies a death, | 0:02:49 | 0:02:50 | |
but more weather fronts try to come in, | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
but again, they have a tendency | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
to move towards the north-east. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
So Wednesday, again, | 0:02:56 | 0:02:57 | |
predominantly dry and bright. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
Chilly morning, yes, | 0:02:59 | 0:03:00 | |
but look at these temperatures - | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
nothing to be sniffed at for this time of year. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
16 as far north as Newcastle. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
And then, most of next week, | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
we are going to see | 0:03:08 | 0:03:09 | |
that same pattern repeat itself - | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
the kink in the jet stream | 0:03:11 | 0:03:12 | |
keeping the low pressures | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
out towards the Atlantic, | 0:03:14 | 0:03:15 | |
high pressure here, | 0:03:15 | 0:03:16 | |
stopping these weather fronts from coming in. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
So, like it or not, | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
it is not looking bad at all - | 0:03:20 | 0:03:21 | |
lots of dry weather, | 0:03:21 | 0:03:22 | |
a risk of maybe a little bit of rain | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
in the north-west of the country, | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
but for most of us, it should be dry most of next week. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
Thanks for watching. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 |
