We've got some promising weather on the way this weekend - | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
some sunshine, feeling quite warm as well, | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
and it looks like it's going to carry on into next week as well | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
so here's the summary for the weekend. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
It's blue skies but not blue skies for everybody - | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
there will be a bit of cloud around too. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
Now, in the last 24 hours or so, | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
we've had a fair bit of cloud and rain. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
During the course of Thursday, | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
the cloud has been shifting away to the south. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
I'm going to show you the jet stream now. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
Now, look what happens through the course of Thursday - | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
the jet stream comes in from the north | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
and then it sort of tilts, | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
comes in from the north-east | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
and sheers away all of this mess, | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
this cloud that has been across | 0:00:38 | 0:00:39 | |
some southern and south-western areas | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
so we've got to get rid of this low | 0:00:41 | 0:00:42 | |
for that clearer weather to develop. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
And actually, here, we've also got | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
a sort of elongated area of high pressure | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
that stretches all the way from the Azores. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
What does all of that mean? | 0:00:51 | 0:00:52 | |
Well, it means that the weather is settling down. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
We've had a low pressure close to us, | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
it's out of the way in the next 24 hours, | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
and that will give way | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
to a window of opportunity, a window of fine weather, | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
so some sunshine certainly | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
on the way for Friday afternoon. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
Now, the last dregs of that low pressure | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
may be just about across the south-west of the country | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
in the form of a bit of cloud but really, | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
the vast majority of the UK, | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
Friday afternoon, enjoying that sun. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
Now, the best of the weather | 0:01:20 | 0:01:21 | |
will be across central and western areas of the country | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
because closer to that North Sea coast, | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
with a breeze off the North Sea, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
it is going to feel chilly in one or two areas, | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
particularly around say Lincolnshire | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
into East Anglia as well. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:34 | |
That north-easterly wind there, | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
that'll feel quite chilly in Norwich. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
But where you're in the centre of the high, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:39 | |
where the light winds will be, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
we'll have clear weather and quite chilly weather as well | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
so a touch of frost, I think, | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
on the way on maybe Saturday morning. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
Now, that high anchors itself across the UK. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
We were talking about it yesterday, no changes, | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
even a couple of highs there - two for the price of one. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
A couple of lows further south as well. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
Now, remember that the winds | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
blow around the high pressure | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
in a clockwise fashion | 0:01:59 | 0:02:00 | |
so in the centre, it's calm, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
it's windless and sunny | 0:02:02 | 0:02:03 | |
but around these coastal areas, | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
it's always going to feel a little bit more colder | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
because of the sea | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
that's around the country right now. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
Now, that was the weekend. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:12 | |
Here's Monday - look what happens. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
If we pan out a little bit more, | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
there is a change from yesterday's forecast. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
Rather than a high, | 0:02:18 | 0:02:19 | |
we've got a big area of low pressure here | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
with the winds blowing round like so. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
Now, that heralds a change in the weather. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
On the Monday, that low | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
is still way out there in the Atlantic, | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
it's still quite far away, | 0:02:29 | 0:02:30 | |
too far away to influence us | 0:02:30 | 0:02:31 | |
but the thinking is that as we head into Tuesday, | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
the clouds will start building but despite that, | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
we could still see temperatures | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
of up to 17 degrees Celsius. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:42 | |
So the start of the week will start to change | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
but it will be relatively warm anyway. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
Midweek onwards, | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
that low that I've just shown you will kind of edge | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
a little bit closer to our neighbourhood | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
so that means that across some of these western areas, | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
under the influence of this low pressure, | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
we are going to see increasing amounts of cloud | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
and also the possibility of | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
a little bit of light rain | 0:03:03 | 0:03:04 | |
flirting with western areas of the UK. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
Eastern parts of the country | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
on the other hand | 0:03:09 | 0:03:10 | |
still in for some dry weather | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
and at least some sunshine. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
Now, that was a lot to take in so let's summarise all of that - | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
the weekend's looking settled, | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
it's looking settled early next week as well | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
but then Wednesday onwards, | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
a low pressure comes close to the UK | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
and things are going to go downhill just a little bit. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
Thanks for watching. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:29 |
