0:00:02 > 0:00:04Hello. It looks like the next few days will be a bit cooler,
0:00:04 > 0:00:07which isn't surprising given that February
0:00:07 > 0:00:10was the warmest March day since 2012.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13We've got some spring warmth coming up on those southerly winds
0:00:13 > 0:00:15together with some sunshine.
0:00:15 > 0:00:16Not everywhere.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18The sunniest weather was in the south-east
0:00:18 > 0:00:20where temperatures hit 22 degrees.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23It was considerably warmer than recently
0:00:23 > 0:00:25in north-east Scotland
0:00:25 > 0:00:27again thanks to the southerly winds.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Not just warmth with those winds, though -
0:00:29 > 0:00:30rain too.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32And there's still some rain
0:00:32 > 0:00:33out towards the west on Friday
0:00:33 > 0:00:35quickly clearing south-west England
0:00:35 > 0:00:36and Wales,
0:00:36 > 0:00:37Northern Ireland by the afternoon,
0:00:37 > 0:00:39and moving up into Scotland.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Elsewhere, cheering up with some sunshine
0:00:41 > 0:00:42and just one or two showers.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44A considerably cooler day
0:00:44 > 0:00:46for the north and north-east of Scotland
0:00:46 > 0:00:47on Friday with that rain becoming
0:00:47 > 0:00:49heavier and more persistent.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Lighter, patchy rain
0:00:50 > 0:00:52arriving in southern Scotland.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53Maybe a window of sunshine
0:00:53 > 0:00:55for Northern Ireland before showers gang up
0:00:55 > 0:00:56later in the day.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58They're just waiting in the wings.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00But for most of England and Wales,
0:01:00 > 0:01:01the afternoon should be dry
0:01:01 > 0:01:03with some sunshine around.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04Yes, it's fresher air,
0:01:04 > 0:01:06but with a temperature of 15-17 degrees.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08It should feel really quite nice.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Heading into the weekend, though,
0:01:10 > 0:01:12the first day of a new month brings some April showers,
0:01:12 > 0:01:14then it turns chilly overnight as skies clear,
0:01:14 > 0:01:18allowing drier, finer weather for the second half of the weekend.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Having said that,
0:01:19 > 0:01:21East Anglia, the south-east of England,
0:01:21 > 0:01:23may miss most if not all
0:01:23 > 0:01:24of the showers on Saturday.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Plenty of showers elsewhere.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Not much wind to move them about.
0:01:28 > 0:01:29They'll be quite slow moving.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30They could be heavy,
0:01:30 > 0:01:31possibly with hail and thunder.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Temperatures will be lower. 12 or 13 typically.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35If we miss the showers in the south-east, though,
0:01:35 > 0:01:37temperatures will be
0:01:37 > 0:01:38a little bit higher here.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40The showers that do form will decay
0:01:40 > 0:01:41during the evening
0:01:41 > 0:01:43and they get squeezed away
0:01:43 > 0:01:44by this building high pressure
0:01:44 > 0:01:45from the south
0:01:45 > 0:01:46that will keep these weather fronts
0:01:46 > 0:01:48at bay for the time being.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50For the second half of the weekend, for many of us,
0:01:50 > 0:01:51it will be a better day.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Probably a cold start,
0:01:52 > 0:01:54but there'll be a lot of sunshine
0:01:54 > 0:01:55in the morning
0:01:55 > 0:01:56before we see cloud spreading out
0:01:56 > 0:01:57in the afternoon,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59but temperatures could still be as high
0:01:59 > 0:02:00as 17 degrees.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02They may get even higher than that
0:02:02 > 0:02:04on Monday as a southerly wind develops again.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05It depends how much sunshine we get
0:02:05 > 0:02:07for central and eastern England.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Again, most places will have a dry day.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Quite warm when the sun is out.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Wind and rain arriving in the north-west later on.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15That rain looks like it's a bit delayed.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17These weather fronts bumping into each other
0:02:17 > 0:02:19will eventually clamber down
0:02:19 > 0:02:21across the UK on Tuesday,
0:02:21 > 0:02:22but weakening all the while
0:02:22 > 0:02:24as they run into high pressure.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Again, the south-east of the UK
0:02:26 > 0:02:28missing most of the rain.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Even further north, the rain becomes light,
0:02:30 > 0:02:31patchy, showery
0:02:31 > 0:02:33as cooler air comes down
0:02:33 > 0:02:35in those west to north-westerly winds.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Things change next week.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Let's look at the other side
0:02:39 > 0:02:40of the Atlantic.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41Strengthening jet
0:02:41 > 0:02:44is going to be developing areas of low pressure off Newfoundland,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46and it buckles the jet stream
0:02:46 > 0:02:47in this sort of angle here.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50We could be stuck under low pressure,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52but, given this sort of orientation of the jet,
0:02:52 > 0:02:54we're going to be sitting
0:02:54 > 0:02:55under high pressure,
0:02:55 > 0:02:57and that's building across the UK
0:02:57 > 0:02:59as we head into the middle part
0:02:59 > 0:03:00of the week, settling things down
0:03:00 > 0:03:02once again.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Initially on the cooler side,
0:03:04 > 0:03:06but as the high pressure builds
0:03:06 > 0:03:08we'll see things warming up again.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09Across the far north of the UK,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11we could have stronger winds
0:03:11 > 0:03:12and we'll get milder Atlantic air
0:03:12 > 0:03:14but probably some cloud.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Away from here,
0:03:15 > 0:03:16a lot of dry weather
0:03:16 > 0:03:17well into next week,
0:03:17 > 0:03:19possibly into the weekend too.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20A bit chilly in the mornings,
0:03:20 > 0:03:22maybe some mist and fog,
0:03:22 > 0:03:23but otherwise dry and bright
0:03:23 > 0:03:25with some sunshine.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Again, with light winds, it'll be warm in the sunshine.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Goodbye.
