Hello, there. It certainly was a cold start to the day on Tuesday, | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
with some sunshine for many but showers soon developed quite widely. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
There was rain, some hail, some sleet | 0:00:08 | 0:00:09 | |
and we even saw quite a bit of snow. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
There was snow in Staffordshire, settling on the roofs, | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
the cars and bushes, but not on the roads. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
A little sunshine there, as well. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
There will be another day of showers | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
but the focus shifts to central and eastern parts of England. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
Again, there will be some heavy downpours here. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
Many western areas not having such a bad day. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
Moving north into Scotland, there will be a fair bit of cloud here | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
and a little bit of rain to go with that | 0:00:31 | 0:00:32 | |
but I don't think we will see too much in the way of wintry weather. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
A little bit, over the higher grounds, | 0:00:35 | 0:00:36 | |
but largely dry through the central Lowlands. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
Northern Ireland, sunny spells and a scattering of showers. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
There will be a few showers and northern England | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
but some good spells of sunshine as well. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:44 | |
It's through the Midlands and more eastern parts of England | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
that we will see those showers. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:48 | |
A few rumbles of thunder, some hail mixed in with that rain. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
The further west you go, the showers become fewer and further between. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
So some good spells of sunshine here. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
Now, the showers that we do see will fade away through the evening. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
We'll see extra cloud and patchy rain drifting in from the Atlantic. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
That will help to keep temperatures up in Scotland, | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
Northern Ireland and northern England, too. Frost-free here. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
But further south, it will turn quite chilly. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
Just twos and threes in larger towns and cities and lower than that | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
in more rural spots. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:14 | |
So a touch of frost for some on Thursday morning. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
Thursday itself, though, we have got this weak weather front | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
drifting ever southwards on the breeze. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
It is weak because it is close to the centre of high pressure | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
just to the west of us. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:25 | |
After a bright start in the south-east, | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
we will see the cloud thickening up | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
and maybe a bit of patchy rain later on. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
At the same time it should brighten up in Scotland. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
Temperatures range from about 9C in Aberdeen to around 13 in London. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
The average about 11C in Manchester. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
And if we look at the average temperature, | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
from Thursday onwards there is a trend to see something a bit warmer | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
but it looks as if the highest temperatures will be coming in | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
just after the bank holiday weekend is over. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:52 | |
But still, it looks like some warmth is on the way. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
Now, as you go through Thursday night into Friday, | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
we still have these weak weather fronts draped across the UK. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
I think most of the rain will have fizzled out by this stage. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
There will still be one or two showers dotted around | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
but a fair bit of cloud, a little bit of sunshine | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
but a good deal of dry and fairly bright weather. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
Temperatures around 11 degrees in Glasgow, 13 or 14 in London. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:15 | |
And then, as we head towards the start of the weekend, | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
we have got a weak weather front drifting towards | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
the south-west of the UK. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:21 | |
It will be the focus for some cloud, maybe a spot or two of rain, | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
but I think there is a lot of dry, | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
bright weather to be had on Saturday. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:27 | |
Maybe a shower or two in Scotland but most cases will be fine and dry. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
And then we start to see some big question marks developing, | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
Saturday night into Sunday, | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
about the behaviour of this area of low pressure. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
At the moment, it looks like we're picking up the winds | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
in the south-west of the UK and we will see the cloud thickening up, | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
of rain coming in here. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:44 | |
So maybe not such a great day here. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
That rain moving a little further north and west at the same time | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
so many northern and eastern areas at the moment, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
it looks like you will have a pretty reasonable day. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
Then on to the bank holiday. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:54 | |
Still got that low pressure system drifting northwards, | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
we think, at the moment. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:58 | |
So it may well bring a spell of wind and rain to many parts of the UK. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
However, as you look beyond the bank holiday, | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
looks like this area of high pressure | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
will be drifting in from the east. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
And that should settle things down eventually. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
It may well start off a bit windy in the north and west of the UK | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
but I think that will ease down. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
And then we will see a good deal of sunshine | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
coming in with that area of high-pressure. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
And with the sunshine and the winds coming in from the south, | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
it is going to get a good deal warmer. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:23 | |
The big question is just how quickly that transition to something a bit | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
warmer is and how high those temperatures are going to go. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 |
