The Easter weekend pretty much panned out as we expected it to | 0:00:02 | 0:00:06 | |
on the weather front. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:07 | |
Not a write-off, but certainly on the chilly side. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
Take a look at this. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:11 | |
Some snow in the Shetland Islands, that's how cold the air has been. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
It's been coming in all the way from the northern climes | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
but there has been some good weather around as well. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
Some nice cumulous clouds in Dorset. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:24 | |
The week ahead will bring some frosty weather, especially | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
the first couple of days, two or three days of this week. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
There will be plenty of sunny spells around during the day | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
but the mornings will be on the nippy side. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
Certainly Tuesday will be cold first thing | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
across the northern half of the UK. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
In the Glens of Scotland first thing on Tuesday, | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
it could even be -8 degrees. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
But plenty of sunshine on offer. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
Tuesday looks absolutely fine across most of the UK. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
Beautiful weather in the south and the east, some strong sunshine. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
A bit on the cool side. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:51 | |
Whereas the north-west of the UK, | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
thicker cloud and we've also got some spots of rain. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
There is just a very weak weather front moving through into | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
north-western areas during the course | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
of Tuesday night into Wednesday. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
Let's have a look at the temperatures | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
first thing on Wednesday. Actually this is Tuesday night. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
You can see around zero degrees across central parts | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
of the UK and even down to -3 in the far south. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
The reason why it is not quite so frosty across Scotland is | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
because we are seeing slightly less cold air coming in off the Atlantic. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
Here is Wednesday's weather forecast. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
High pressure in charge of the weather across | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
southern parts of the UK. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:25 | |
So that means this is where the best of the weather will be. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
The best of the sunshine, scattered fair-weather cloud. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
Whereas in the north, we have more cloud, | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
maybe a few spots of rain and the temperatures not an awful lot | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
of difference between the lowlands of Scotland | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
and the far south of the UK. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:40 | |
Around 11 or 12. London always that little bit warmer. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
And then into Thursday, that high pressure still sticks around | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
across the south of the UK. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
So again little change here. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
Variable amount of cloud. You get the message, a lot of dry weather. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
You get a high pressure - lots of dry weather around. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
Most just thick cloud from time to time. 16 maybe the top temperature. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
Then we start to see a change on Friday. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
This line of rain here doesn't look like much on the forecast but | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
this is a cold front and behind it we've got a surge of cold air. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
So the cold air towards the end of the week will be resurging. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
High pressure here, low pressure there. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
When you get the isobars scraping down | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
that is where the air is coming from. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
This one is coming in from Iceland, from the Norwegian Sea. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
So, yet again, towards the end of the week, | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
and into the weekend we are going to see that colder air returning. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
Single figure temperatures from Newcastle. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
Just about into double figures there across Yorkshire. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
Beyond that, the high pressure is still here, | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
the low pressure is there | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
the isobars are coming in from the north. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:44 | |
This is the Arctic we are talking about. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
You can see a fetch from the far north so still chilly air. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
But a high pressure is close by. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
The jet stream is coming in from the north again | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
so our air is coming from the north too. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
In this sort of situation, we don't often get an awful lot of rain. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
So, yes, it's going to be on the cool side | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
but very little rain on the way. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
The rain that we do get may come from these little small areas | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
of low pressure that may be riding around the high. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
But to get proper rainfall, if you are gardener, | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
you need loads to come from here and whoosh across into the UK. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
We are not expecting that. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
High pressure will be generally dominating our weather. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
So it is going to stay on the cold side, | 0:03:19 | 0:03:20 | |
there will be some frosty nights and, at times, particularly across | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
northern areas, it might be a little on the windy side. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
That's it from me, thanks for watching. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 |
