0:00:02 > 0:00:03Hello there. If you've ever been on holiday
0:00:03 > 0:00:05in the UK and been greeted by the locals saying,
0:00:05 > 0:00:07"Should have been here last week,"
0:00:07 > 0:00:09might well sum up the week ahead for some of you.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12It certainly won't rival the extreme heat we saw in which
0:00:12 > 0:00:16we saw the hottest conditions in 41 years - 35 degrees in London,
0:00:16 > 0:00:19temperatures peaked quite widely high 20s, low to mid 30s.
0:00:19 > 0:00:20The week ahead, though,
0:00:20 > 0:00:23those peaks are most likely in the high teens,
0:00:23 > 0:00:27maybe possibly low to mid 20s, so a good 10, 12 degrees cooler
0:00:27 > 0:00:29than we saw last week and to go with it,
0:00:29 > 0:00:31a lot more in the way of wetter weather around.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Good one for the gardeners.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36Breezy at times and often cloudy and cool, so make the most of Monday
0:00:36 > 0:00:39cos Monday will be probably the driest day of the working week.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42High pressure is there to begin with and after a fresh start,
0:00:42 > 0:00:44things should warm up quite nicely.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46But you'll notice, waiting in the wings to the west of Ireland,
0:00:46 > 0:00:49an area of low pressure starting to nudge its way in.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51What that will do is, after a sunny start for Scotland, England
0:00:51 > 0:00:54and Wales, increase the amounts of cloud spreading in,
0:00:54 > 0:00:55sunshine turning hazy.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58A few isolated showers in Scotland, most will be dry.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00And temperatures will be boosted in that sunshine,
0:01:00 > 0:01:02strong sunshine overhead.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Should feel like what really it should do this time of year -
0:01:04 > 0:01:06high teens, low to mid 20s.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08But you finish the day with rain into Northern Ireland and
0:01:08 > 0:01:10it could be a wet evening rush hour here,
0:01:10 > 0:01:12particularly Fermanagh, down in Omagh,
0:01:12 > 0:01:14and that rain, through the night and into Tuesday,
0:01:14 > 0:01:16spreads into central southern Scotland.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Some lively bursts of rain on the southern uplands,
0:01:18 > 0:01:20southern portion of the Trossachs,
0:01:20 > 0:01:22rain into the far north of England and also western Wales,
0:01:22 > 0:01:25a few showers ahead of it. But this is the chart into Tuesday.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Low pressure really dominating the north and the west of the country,
0:01:28 > 0:01:31allowing slightly more humid air to push into the south and east.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33And with storms developing over France,
0:01:33 > 0:01:35we could see some wetter weather push in here later in the day.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37So, reasonably dry, reasonably bright
0:01:37 > 0:01:40to the south-east of the country before that heavy thundery rain
0:01:40 > 0:01:42moves in later to the north and the west,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44cloud, outbreaks of rain coming and going.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Now, the chart for the week ahead then starts to get very messy,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51so the exact detail from one day to the next always open to question,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54but there's that general theme of low pressure with us.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56It does look at the moment like it will be
0:01:56 > 0:01:58a wet night to take us into Wednesday and quite windy and
0:01:58 > 0:02:01cool across eastern parts of northern England,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04eastern Scotland as the rain pushes its way northwards.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Far north of Scotland may stay dry, brighter weather in the south,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08but showers will break out
0:02:08 > 0:02:10as temperatures rise into the afternoon.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Then that low pressure pushes that weather front to the west of
0:02:13 > 0:02:16the country, where it will sit with windy conditions on Thursday.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Some heavy bursts of rain, particularly across Scotland,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21the rain turns a bit lighter further south.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23England and Wales, we'll see some sunshine.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26The afternoon showers will then develop,
0:02:26 > 0:02:27some of them slow-moving, heavy and thundery.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29And it will be the same again as we go into Friday.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32The weather front to the west has a little less oomph to it,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34so the rain lighter and patchier.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Cloudier, breezier conditions here, feeling quite cool as well.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Some sunshine further central and eastern parts but like Thursday,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44we will see those showers develop and temperatures lower than
0:02:44 > 0:02:46they should be for the time of year.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48So, that takes us into the weekend,
0:02:48 > 0:02:50with a dominant north-westerly flow to begin with.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Showers, and then this ridge of high pressure starts to build
0:02:53 > 0:02:57its way in ahead of yet another low pressure system off in the Atlantic.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58What that means weather-wise,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01looks like next weekend the showers initially start to ease,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03it turns drier, sunnier for a time, but potentially,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06particularly to the north-west of the country, turning wetter again.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08And that goes in to the following week there,
0:03:08 > 0:03:09your first full week of July.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12It does look like the jet stream will be strong enough across
0:03:12 > 0:03:14the north Atlantic, us on the cooler side,
0:03:14 > 0:03:16but it may run out of a bit of oomph as it comes to the UK,
0:03:16 > 0:03:19so the low pressure may become stranded to the north-west of
0:03:19 > 0:03:21the country, and that means high pressure may build
0:03:21 > 0:03:22to the south and east.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26So always likely to see the driest and warmest weather,
0:03:26 > 0:03:29as you probably usually do, to the south and the east of the UK.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Bye for now.
