Good evening. Thursday brought rain to pretty much all of the UK, | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
but the winds were the story. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:06 | |
Severe gales through the Irish Sea really whipped up some large waves | 0:00:06 | 0:00:10 | |
and caused some power outages. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:11 | |
There's a potential for more severe gales on Friday. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
So more conditions like this. Possibly slightly different areas. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:18 | |
For the weekend, it might well quieten down. Not as active weather. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
Still a little bit of rain and strong winds around, | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
but we might see some chillier mornings and more sunshine. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
But not for long. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
It's back to the wind and rain early next week and from the middle | 0:00:28 | 0:00:32 | |
of the week onwards, we might start to return to that colder, | 0:00:32 | 0:00:37 | |
and more settled weather that we had just last week before things | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
turned much more unsettled. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
That's still looking on the cards. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
But at the moment, the weather fronts, the bands of cloud, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
they're lined up from Iberia right the way out to the east coast | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
of the United States. So we've got further bands of rain yet to come. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:53 | |
We've certainly had a good, | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
severe gale from this low pressure through Thursday. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
We've got another winding itself up. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
There are amber warnings out for northern France. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
That looks really stormy here. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:03 | |
It could well also bring some severe gale-force winds to | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
the southern half of the UK. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:08 | |
So, Friday may dawn on a fairly decent note with some sunshine. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
It might stay that way in the north. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
But already, through the morning, the winds are whipping up in | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
the south-west bringing in that heavy rain. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
Really quite heavy rain for a time as well. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
Let's focus, though, on those winds that we've been talking about. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
The potential is there for the Channel Islands, | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
the south coast, gusts to 70mph which will cause some disruption. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
50mph inland. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
And then also 50mph inland across south-eastern areas, | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
East Anglia, Lincolnshire later. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
That's likely to cause some disruption in these areas. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
Could even be some snow over the Welsh mountains as well. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
So it's a really active weather day on Friday. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
If you have plans, stay tuned to the forecast, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
the warnings are on the website. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:47 | |
Through the night, that low pressure transfers to Scotland, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
parts of Northern Ireland. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:51 | |
We've got another low pressure just drifting towards the south. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
So we could have some more rain | 0:01:54 | 0:01:55 | |
across southern counties on Saturday. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
Another storm for France. | 0:01:58 | 0:01:59 | |
It looks a wetter day for Scotland. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
But, again, away from those areas, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
mild but it still looks mostly dry. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
And we can say that about Sunday. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
The rain hopefully staying offshore of Eastern Scotland. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
A bit breezy here, but drier. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
There's the potential for some rain | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
across southern counties of England. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:15 | |
But, at the moment, elsewhere, despite having a chilly, | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
frosty start, it looks fairly decent. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
And that ridge of high pressure takes us into the start of | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
the new week. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:23 | |
But this next big area of low pressure, | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
which dominates most of the Atlantic, is starting to take over. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
The difference is it's starting to be blocked by these easterly winds | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
and high pressure across Scandinavia. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
So it'll be a slow progress that that weather front makes | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
through Monday and into Tuesday. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
Coming into the colder air, so some snow on its forward edge, | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
potentially. And several hours of wet weather. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
Fairly strong winds as well with showers following. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
But what we'll find through the middle part of the week is | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
that the low pressure is progressively steered towards | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
the north-west of the UK, | 0:02:54 | 0:02:55 | |
which means they'll have less influence on our weather, less wind, | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
less rain as this high pressure re-establishes itself with | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
its cold, dense air. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
So that will block our weather fronts from moving in to | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
the north and the west | 0:03:07 | 0:03:08 | |
and the cold, easterly winds will ensure that we see | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
a return to frosts and potentially some fog with lighter winds. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
And, of course, some sunshine. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:16 | |
But, eventually, it will become a cloudy high, we think, | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
so there won't be as much sunshine around. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
So it starts mild, wet and windy. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:22 | |
We've got that quieter weekend and eventually the colder weather | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
winning through by the end of next week. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
Bye-bye. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:29 |
