The month of June is drawing to a close and my lasting memories | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
of the month will be one of extremes. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
We started off after a pretty dry May | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
on a wet note. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
In fact, Edinburgh saw just shy | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
of a month's worth of rain | 0:00:13 | 0:00:14 | |
in just a couple of days. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:15 | |
Then we found some scorching summer sunshine, | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
particularly across central | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
and southern parts of England and Wales, | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
temperatures in excess of 30 degrees | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
and, in fact, the heat wave peaked | 0:00:24 | 0:00:25 | |
just to the west of London with 35 Celsius, | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
the hottest June day since 1976. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
But we close out the month with some extreme weather. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
Again, it looks as though the heavy rain | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
set to return for all of us over the next few days | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
and I'm sure when the June statistics come out, | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
the rainfall totals will be fairly average | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
right across the country, | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
but in some places, well above average | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
because this low pressure is going to sit with us | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
for a couple of days | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
and the front is not moving very far very fast. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
It will bring further spells of wet weather | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
as it pushes its way steadily north and west, | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
almost grinding to a halt | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
across the Scottish Borders during Wednesday. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
So for Scotland and Northern Ireland, | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
not too bad a day. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:08 | |
Breezy and a little bit cool on the east coast, | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
the best of the sunshine in the south and east, | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
but that could trigger off a few sharp, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
possibly thundery downpours. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
Then as we move out of Wednesday night to Thursday, | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
that front will start to drift its way | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
north and west across Scotland and Northern Ireland. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
It's not going to be a particularly cold start | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
to Thursday morning, | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
but again we will see some heavy rainfall | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
this time across Scotland and Northern Ireland. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
With tightly packed isobars here, | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
we could see strong to gale force gusts of winds | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
for a time through the Central Belt of Scotland | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
and there'll be some relentless rain | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
through much of the day. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:44 | |
Funnelling, then, down through the Irish Sea | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
across the Isle of Man and into north Wales. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
The best of the drier weather in the south-east corner | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
with a little more shelter, | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
highs of 20 degrees, | 0:01:54 | 0:01:55 | |
but it'll feel quite cold | 0:01:55 | 0:01:56 | |
further north under the rain. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
The frontal system then sinks its way south and east | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
as we move into Friday. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
That means yet more rain still from that front | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
and again across England and Wales | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
and look at the wind direction, a northerly, | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
so that is going to make it | 0:02:09 | 0:02:10 | |
feel cool with the exception, | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
perhaps, of a little more shelter | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
in the Scottish mountains. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:15 | |
With the foehn effect, we could see highs of 19. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
But as we move out of Friday | 0:02:18 | 0:02:19 | |
to the start of the weekend, | 0:02:19 | 0:02:20 | |
a brief lull in proceedings, | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
another low waiting in the wings. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
That will bring some wet and windy weather eventually, | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
but Saturday's not looking likely to be too bad. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
Yes, disappointing feel to the north-west, | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
highest values of 22 in the south-east. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
That front sinks south and on Sunday, | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
we're left with a breezier north-westerly | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
or westerly wind direction | 0:02:40 | 0:02:41 | |
and that could drive in some showers | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
so bright and breezy with showers out to the west. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
The best of the sunshine likely | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
to be in sheltered eastern areas, | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
but still those temperatures | 0:02:49 | 0:02:50 | |
disappointing to the north, | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
highs of 22 in the south-east corner. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
So this week, the jet stream has been really sat | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
to the south of us and that's allowed this area | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
of low pressure to sit across the UK | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
and allow this northerly breeze | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
to drive in this cooler source | 0:03:04 | 0:03:05 | |
for this time of year. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
Now, the jet stream, | 0:03:07 | 0:03:08 | |
as we move towards the weekend, | 0:03:08 | 0:03:09 | |
evens itself out a little, | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
but it's still likely to sit | 0:03:11 | 0:03:12 | |
a bit further south than we first anticipated | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
and so this area of high pressure not likely | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
to make too much of an impact. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:19 | |
The low stays with us | 0:03:19 | 0:03:20 | |
and things stay pretty changeable. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
So, be prepared as we move | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
into the beginning of July | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
for further rain at times | 0:03:26 | 0:03:27 | |
and those temperatures to stay pretty average. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
Take care. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:30 |
