Hello there. It's been dry across large swathes of the United Kingdom

0:00:020:00:04

for quite some time now, and it was

0:00:040:00:06

another dry day for many on Thursday,

0:00:060:00:08

particularly across the northern half of the UK.

0:00:080:00:10

Lovely picture from

0:00:100:00:11

one of our Weather Watchers,

0:00:110:00:13

blue sky in Northumberland, however,

0:00:130:00:15

we are starting to see some changes

0:00:150:00:16

in the southern half of the UK.

0:00:160:00:17

Yes, we have begun to see some rain.

0:00:170:00:20

Now, that rain is moving

0:00:200:00:21

ever northwards on quite

0:00:210:00:23

a warm and fairly humid stream

0:00:230:00:25

of air coming in from the near continent.

0:00:250:00:27

So that humid air will be

0:00:270:00:28

with us for a couple of days,

0:00:280:00:30

particularly across England and Wales.

0:00:300:00:32

So we start on a fairly warm note

0:00:320:00:33

in the southern half of the UK,

0:00:330:00:35

but we're going to see a lot of cloud in the sky

0:00:350:00:37

and there will be some

0:00:370:00:38

showers dotted around,

0:00:380:00:40

some quite heavy, the odd rumble of thunder.

0:00:400:00:42

Eastern Scotland though,

0:00:420:00:43

looks pretty grey and cool.

0:00:430:00:45

Only nine degrees in Aberdeen,

0:00:450:00:46

ten degrees warmer than that

0:00:460:00:48

further west with a bit of sunshine.

0:00:480:00:49

Scattered showers into

0:00:490:00:50

southern Scotland, Northern Ireland

0:00:500:00:52

and across England and Wales.

0:00:520:00:53

There will be a good rash of showers

0:00:530:00:55

around through the afternoon,

0:00:550:00:56

and there could be the odd rumble

0:00:560:00:58

of thunder to go with that.

0:00:580:00:59

Top temperature around about 19, 20 degrees

0:00:590:01:01

in the south-eastern corner

0:01:010:01:03

and a fairly humid feel to things for many.

0:01:030:01:05

Some of the showers in the south-west again

0:01:050:01:07

on the sharp side, but through the evening,

0:01:070:01:09

the showers in the south-east

0:01:090:01:10

look like they tend to fade away.

0:01:100:01:12

We'll keep them going in a north-west,

0:01:120:01:13

and it will be a fairly warm night

0:01:130:01:16

across most places

0:01:160:01:17

with temperatures in double figures,

0:01:170:01:19

it certainly on the mild side it least.

0:01:190:01:21

Now, as we get on into Saturday,

0:01:210:01:23

looks like it'll stay fairly unsettled,

0:01:230:01:25

particularly in the north-west,

0:01:250:01:26

close to this area of low pressure.

0:01:260:01:28

You will notice out in the Atlantic

0:01:280:01:29

further weather systems

0:01:290:01:31

lining up to head our way.

0:01:310:01:32

So yes, in the north-west on Saturday,

0:01:320:01:34

it will be fairly cloudy,

0:01:340:01:35

breezy, with outbreaks of rain.

0:01:350:01:36

As you work your way down

0:01:360:01:38

towards the south-eastern corner,

0:01:380:01:40

fewer in the way of showers.

0:01:400:01:41

A lot of dry and bright weather

0:01:410:01:43

to be had here. A bit of sunshine and still

0:01:430:01:45

quite warm, 18, 19 degrees

0:01:450:01:47

in the south-eastern corner,

0:01:470:01:48

15 or so for Glasgow and for Belfast.

0:01:480:01:51

Now, Saturday night into Sunday,

0:01:520:01:54

this weather system moves its way

0:01:540:01:56

across pretty much all parts of the UK.

0:01:560:01:57

There'll be some rain pretty much everywhere,

0:01:570:01:59

and then, behind that, you get

0:01:590:02:01

fresher air from the Atlantic.

0:02:010:02:03

So while it will be a day of

0:02:030:02:04

sunny spells and showers on Sunday

0:02:040:02:05

and still temperatures doing

0:02:050:02:07

quite well - 15 to 19 degrees -

0:02:070:02:08

the humidity will be a bit lower,

0:02:080:02:10

so a fresher feel to things.

0:02:100:02:12

Then as we head on into Monday,

0:02:120:02:14

still looking out to the Atlantic

0:02:140:02:15

for further weather systems

0:02:150:02:17

to spread their way in,

0:02:170:02:18

notice quite a few isobars,

0:02:180:02:19

quite a breezy day on Monday,

0:02:190:02:21

particularly in the north and west,

0:02:210:02:22

and there will be what looks like,

0:02:220:02:24

at this stage, quite a bit of rain

0:02:240:02:26

pushing into Wales, northern England,

0:02:260:02:27

Northern Ireland and Scotland.

0:02:270:02:29

Looks like the south-east will avoid it and we'll

0:02:290:02:31

see temperatures around

0:02:310:02:32

about 17 or 18 degrees here.

0:02:320:02:34

Then through Monday into Tuesday,

0:02:340:02:35

the isobars ease apart a little bit,

0:02:350:02:37

so the winds ease down as

0:02:370:02:38

the weather front slowly

0:02:380:02:40

drifts south across the UK.

0:02:400:02:41

By Tuesday, that weather front

0:02:410:02:43

sits there or thereabouts

0:02:430:02:44

across the central swathe of the UK.

0:02:440:02:46

Either side of that looks largely fine and dry.

0:02:460:02:48

Could turn really quite warm

0:02:480:02:49

in the south-eastern corner,

0:02:490:02:50

could go a few degrees higher than 22.

0:02:500:02:53

Looking ahead to

0:02:530:02:54

the middle of the week,

0:02:540:02:55

we have still got low pressure

0:02:550:02:57

to the north-west and some weather fronts

0:02:570:02:59

associated with that are likely to bring some rain.

0:02:590:03:01

That will slip its way southwards and eastwards,

0:03:010:03:03

and then the low drifts away

0:03:030:03:05

towards the near continent.

0:03:050:03:06

By next weekend, we start to see high pressure

0:03:060:03:09

building in from the west.

0:03:090:03:10

The resulting winds, though,

0:03:100:03:11

look like they'll be coming down from the north -

0:03:110:03:13

never a particularly warm direction for us.

0:03:130:03:15

As we get on into next weekend,

0:03:150:03:16

you will notice things getting a good deal cooler

0:03:160:03:19

and it also looks quite changeable.

0:03:190:03:21

Rain at times, some quite heavy,

0:03:210:03:23

and it's also going to be quite breezy.

0:03:230:03:25

In fact, for some,

0:03:250:03:26

particularly in the north-west,

0:03:260:03:27

those winds could be quite strong.
