Well, as forecast, we were a little battered and bruised | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
by the weather on Tuesday - | 0:00:05 | 0:00:06 | |
a pretty unseasonable area of low pressure | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
barrelling across the UK, | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
giving us some very heavy rain, lashings of rain, | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
and some very strong winds, as well. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
Here's a closer look. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:16 | |
This is the weather front, here, | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
so, lots of heavy rain, | 0:00:18 | 0:00:19 | |
torrential, at times, | 0:00:19 | 0:00:20 | |
and then, just within that weather front, | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
and to the south, | 0:00:22 | 0:00:23 | |
that's where we have those gale force winds - | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
and very strong for the time of the year - | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
in fact, some gusts of wind | 0:00:28 | 0:00:29 | |
brought a few trees down, | 0:00:29 | 0:00:30 | |
there were lots of branches, there. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
Gusts, you can see, 50 to 60mph - | 0:00:32 | 0:00:33 | |
and you don't necessarily get the same effect | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
during the winter, because the trees... | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
in full leaf, well, they act like kites, | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
like sails, and then you get, bang, that gust of wind, | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
and the trees come down - | 0:00:43 | 0:00:44 | |
and, of course, the rain, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:45 | |
and it's been very heavy | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
across northern England and Scotland, | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
but a totally different story | 0:00:49 | 0:00:50 | |
on Wednesday in the morning | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
across the south of the country. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:53 | |
Much lighter winds, some sunshine, | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
so, a sigh of relief - | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
a much better start to the day, for sure. | 0:00:58 | 0:00:59 | |
In Northern Ireland, as well, | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
western parts of Scotland, too, | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
but in the east, here, it's going to take time | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
for the remnants of that nasty low pressure to clear away. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
It's a real slow-mover. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:08 | |
It's still out there in the North Sea, | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
and it will take time | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
for that rain and wind to completely subside | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
from some of these north-eastern areas of the UK. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
You can see a window of fine weather | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
developing across the UK on Wednesday, | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
so, there will be some sunshine, | 0:01:21 | 0:01:22 | |
and, probably, watching this, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
this is the next area of low pressure | 0:01:24 | 0:01:25 | |
behind me, there, | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
and by the time we get to the afternoon, | 0:01:27 | 0:01:28 | |
it looks like more rain will be sweeping into the south-west, | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
West Wales and then eventually into Northern Ireland - | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
but I think, overall, not a bad day for most of us. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
Then, Wednesday evening, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
that's when that cloud and rain | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
will sweep across the UK - | 0:01:39 | 0:01:40 | |
or, rather than sweeping, | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
it will be moving slowly once again. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
So, here's Thursday's weather map. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
Another area of low pressure, | 0:01:46 | 0:01:47 | |
nowhere near as bad as the one we've just had, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
but it is still a low pressure, | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
so, a lot of cloud, | 0:01:52 | 0:01:53 | |
and some rain linked to it. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
Now, it does look as though the heaviest of the rain | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
on Thursday will be moving into south-western parts, | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
Wales, probably across northern England, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
it could be quite wet here, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:03 | |
around the Lake District, | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
but it looks as though Scotland, the north, here, | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
will be cooler and brighter. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
To the south, more cloud, | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
and around 19 degrees Celsius. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
Then, on Friday, | 0:02:13 | 0:02:14 | |
that messy weather is out of the way. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
You can see it's in the east, here. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
Again, another window of better weather - | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
and then another weather front | 0:02:21 | 0:02:22 | |
is heading our way, | 0:02:22 | 0:02:23 | |
so, you're getting a sort of theme | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
of low pressures coming in going. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
This is Saturday and Sunday, | 0:02:28 | 0:02:29 | |
and I to just want to paint a picture | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
of just this one area of low pressure, | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
very close to the UK, | 0:02:33 | 0:02:34 | |
weather fronts linked to it, as well, | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
so, that basically means | 0:02:36 | 0:02:37 | |
that the weekend's going to be a little on the unsettled side - | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
it's certainly not going to be a write-off. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:41 | |
We are going to get some sunshine, for sure, | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
but we just have to be prepared | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
for a bit of rain on both days, | 0:02:45 | 0:02:46 | |
both on Saturday and Sunday. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
Then, early next week, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:49 | |
that low-pressure that will have affected us | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
during the course of the weekend, | 0:02:51 | 0:02:52 | |
still close by. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:53 | |
Here's the jet stream. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:54 | |
We're sort of right within it, | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
so, still remnants of the unsettled weather | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
early next week, | 0:02:59 | 0:03:00 | |
and then, middle of next week, | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
that jet stream sort of slows down, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
eases, high pressure starts to develop - | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
we can say goodbye to the low, there, | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
it's out in Scandinavia - | 0:03:10 | 0:03:11 | |
but more importantly, the high-pressure builds, | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
so it does mean that the weather | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
is going to be settling down. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:16 | |
So, next week, as that high-pressure builds, | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
lighter winds, more sunshine, | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
and starting to turn just that little bit warmer. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
So, I think the future's looking pretty good. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 |
