Hello. The week ahead is a story of ups and downs weather-wise. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:07 | |
The temperatures at the moment are certainly on the up. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:11 | |
Monday brought a lot of sunshine. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
A beautiful day for the beach | 0:00:13 | 0:00:14 | |
on the Moray coast | 0:00:14 | 0:00:15 | |
in north-east Scotland | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
and also there in Cornwall. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
Notice, though, a bit of high cloud | 0:00:19 | 0:00:20 | |
gathering in the sky. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:21 | |
Just the first sign of some changes | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
that are going to take place later in the week. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
As those temperatures continue to rise, | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
the middle part of the week is likely to bring | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
some quite vicious hit and miss thunderstorms. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
Once those clear away, | 0:00:34 | 0:00:35 | |
the temperatures head downwards again. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
Some cooler, fresher conditions to take us towards the weekend. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
For the time being, though, high-pressure is in charge. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
As the high-pressure drifts a little bit further eastwards, | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
it allows us to bring in this south-easterly airflow | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
and that taps into some very, very warm air indeed | 0:00:49 | 0:00:53 | |
across the near continent, some pretty humid air as well. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
So Tuesday will bring increasingly humid, muggy conditions | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
and some more of that high cloud just | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
streaming its way in across England and Wales. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
Having said that, there will still be a fair amount of sunshine | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
although some thunder storms late in the day towards the south-west. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
An easterly breeze off the North Sea making it feel a little bit | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
chilly along the east coast, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:14 | |
but inland and further west, | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
temperatures up into the high 20s in places. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
And with that heat and humidity, we will start to see some | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
thunderstorms spreading in from the south during Tuesday night. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
They will be quite hit and miss but if you catch a storm, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
it could give you a lot of rain in a short space of time. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
Frequent lightning, maybe some hail. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
Some of those storms continuing across Scotland during Wednesday. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
As it brightens up across England and Wales, | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
there could be enough heat | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
and humidity to drive some further thunderstorms here and there. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
But, by this stage, | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
something fresher beginning to show its hand out west. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
Through Wednesday night, into Thursday, | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
as this cold front sweeps its way eastwards, | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
it will start to bring us fresher air from the Atlantic. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
So westerly winds across the country on Thursday. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
A bit of a humid start, perhaps, across the south-east. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
By the end of the day, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:03 | |
those temperatures much lower for all of us. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
A lot of dry weather, but some showers up towards the north-west. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
As we head into Friday, it looks like an area of low pressure | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
will drift in from the Atlantic. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
A band of rain with that. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:15 | |
So a bit of uncertainty about the timing of this rain band, | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
but there will be some spells of wet weather for many | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
and even where the main band of rain has cleared away, | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
there could be some further showers. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
But the temperatures are way down on where | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
they have been - 15 to 21 degrees. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
Low pressure still dominant as we move into the start of the weekend. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
The low likely to be across northern Scotland. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
There will be some spells of sunshine, also some showery rain. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
These westerly winds continuing to bring us the fresh conditions - | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
16 to 22 degrees. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
The areas of low pressure will be brought | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
to our shores by the jet stream - | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
the winds way above our heads that drive the weather | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
systems around the world. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
But notice as we go through the weekend, | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
it looks like we could see a change in the shape of the jet stream. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
It is likely to bend its way northwards. What does that mean? | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
Well, it means an area of high pressure that | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
sits down across the Azores, | 0:03:05 | 0:03:06 | |
may well be able to nudge its way a little | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
bit further north and east and have a bit more influence on our weather. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
But there is some uncertainty into next week just how far north | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
and east this area of high pressure will exert its influence. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
And in northern parts of the country, | 0:03:19 | 0:03:20 | |
there'll be a fairly unsettled flavour. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
Spells of rain, quite breezy. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
But further south, | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
it should become mainly dry, pleasantly warm, | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
but not as warm as it is at the moment. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 |
