Hello, there. There's the promise of some settled weather | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
as we head into next week - just recently, though, | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
we've seen the wind direction changing into more of a southerly, | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
which is drawing up some warmer air. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:10 | |
In order to achieve the highest temperatures, though, | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
we need some breaks in the cloud and more sunshine. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
This is where the warmer and drier air was earlier on, | 0:00:15 | 0:00:20 | |
but that's moving its way northwards | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
towards England and Wales, | 0:00:22 | 0:00:23 | |
pushing away some of this cloud, which is bringing in some rain - | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
and that cloud is still bringing some rain at the moment. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
The rain clears away from the Midlands | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
and gets more pushed up towards Irish Sea coastal areas, | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
moving away from Wales | 0:00:36 | 0:00:37 | |
into north-west England and southern Scotland, | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
allowing more sunshine to develop across much of England and Wales. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:44 | |
Now, it may well be a warmer day across the north-east of Scotland | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
thanks to those southerly winds compared with the last few days, | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
when we've had the onshore breeze - | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
but more rain to come for Dumfries & Galloway, | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
across Cumbria, maybe the Northern Pennines, | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
eastern parts of Northern Ireland, | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
even into the afternoon, the threat of rain, | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
western fringes of Wales and the far south-west of England, | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
but, for much of England and Wales, | 0:01:02 | 0:01:03 | |
we get much brighter skies, some sunshine, | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
and we could get up to 22 degrees Celsius, 72 Fahrenheit. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:10 | |
Now, as we head into Friday, | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
the main focus of the rain | 0:01:12 | 0:01:13 | |
will shift away from Northern Ireland up into Scotland. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
Behind that, to the south, | 0:01:16 | 0:01:17 | |
we may have a little rain coming eastwards | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
across England and Wales, but not much. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
We've got more in the way of sunshine, actually, | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
following on behind, and, although it's slightly fresher air, | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
a wee change in wind direction, to a certain extent, | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
it'll still feel pleasant in the sunshine. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
This weekend is going to be a weekend of two halves. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
Showers on Saturday to greet the new month, | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
a chilly night on Saturday night, | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
and then Sunday looks like being the driest day of the two. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
The wind's not particularly strong on Saturday, | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
so, the showers are going to hang around for a while. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
Little bit hit and miss, perhaps, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:48 | |
but there could be some heavy ones in there, as well - | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
but get some sunshine, and it's pleasantly warm. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
Now, those showers get pushed away | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
by this short-lived area of high pressure | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
that's building up from the south, | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
and that will settle things down on Sunday, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
so, a much drier day on Sunday. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
Again, for most of us, the winds will be light. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
It'll be a bright day, there will be some sunshine, | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
it will be pleasantly warm. 16, maybe 17 degrees. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
The far north-west, late on in the day, | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
will see more cloud, a strengthening wind | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
and the chance of some rain. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
That's on that weather system, there, | 0:02:19 | 0:02:20 | |
but it's coming in to that area of high pressure | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
that's clinging on across England and Wales, | 0:02:23 | 0:02:24 | |
so, movement of that band of rain is going to be painfully slow, | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
and it's going to be across Western Scotland and Northern Ireland | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
that we see most of the rain on Monday. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
Ahead of it, difficult to know how much sunshine there's going to be, | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
but we've still got some quite warm air, | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
so, 16 or 17 degrees, again, quite likely. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
Pretty good for this time of year. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
Into the outlook, | 0:02:43 | 0:02:44 | |
and that band of rain pushes south-eastwards across the UK. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
Again, not much rain in the south-east. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
It continues to be largely dry here - | 0:02:49 | 0:02:50 | |
and then, high pressure, you can see, | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
building in from the Atlantic. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
This is the settled weather that I promised you - | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
and that high pressure builds in across the UK, | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
centred more across the southern half of the UK. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
So, dry weather, some sunshine - | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
some cloud, as well. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:05 | |
Shouldn't be too cold at night, | 0:03:05 | 0:03:06 | |
and it should be pleasantly warm at this time of the year | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
in the sunshine. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:10 | |
Position of the high, though, as usual, is crucial, | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
because, to the north of the high, | 0:03:13 | 0:03:14 | |
around the top of it, | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
we've got more of this Atlantic wind | 0:03:16 | 0:03:17 | |
affecting Scotland, in particular, | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
blowing in cloudy skies. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:20 | |
Get the other side of the mountains more sunshine, | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
and it will be warmer. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:23 | |
That's what we call the Foehn effect - | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
and you can find out more details about that online. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
Goodbye. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:29 |
