0:00:02 > 0:00:04Hello there. The weather charts for the next ten days
0:00:04 > 0:00:06don't exactly scream summer scorcher to me,
0:00:06 > 0:00:08and even as we head deeper into August,
0:00:08 > 0:00:09there's increasing uncertainty,
0:00:09 > 0:00:11maybe dictated by what's happening
0:00:11 > 0:00:13out in the Pacific at the moment.
0:00:13 > 0:00:14Over the past few days,
0:00:14 > 0:00:17we've had as many as six storms at any one time.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18They will have different impacts
0:00:18 > 0:00:20on the jet stream to the north of the Pacific.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22The impacts they have
0:00:22 > 0:00:24will ultimately impact our jet stream.
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Which, at the moment, I think,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27for many of you over the coming days
0:00:27 > 0:00:28could do with a bit of a shake up,
0:00:28 > 0:00:30because it's setting its stall.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32It's taking a staycation for the UK, I think,
0:00:32 > 0:00:34over the next few days.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Mainly to the south of the UK.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37That puts us on the cooler side of the jet,
0:00:37 > 0:00:39so temperatures lower than they should be.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41This sort of weather chart will become typical
0:00:41 > 0:00:43with low pressure centred to the northwest of us.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44So this is it for Thursday.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Low pressure there off the coast
0:00:46 > 0:00:47of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Windiest conditions close to that low pressure system.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51Showers to begin the day here.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Elsewhere, dry start to Thursday,
0:00:53 > 0:00:54but the shower clouds get going,
0:00:54 > 0:00:57pushing from west to east on quite a brisk breeze.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58The breeze means the showers push through,
0:00:58 > 0:01:01so at any one spot, maybe only a short space of time
0:01:01 > 0:01:02through the day,
0:01:02 > 0:01:03you see the wettest of the weather.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05One or two just about avoiding the showers.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06You'd be very lucky if you do.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Temperatures with the showers come through,
0:01:08 > 0:01:10down on what they should be -
0:01:10 > 0:01:11mid-teens for some of you.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Then keep an eye on this.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15This will be rumbling around the southern portion
0:01:15 > 0:01:17of our driving low pressure system for Friday.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19That dictates the weather to begin with.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Frequent showers to the north and west.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Gusty winds as well - touching gale force across
0:01:23 > 0:01:25the Highlands and the Hebrides.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26Bit of a breeze further south,
0:01:26 > 0:01:28but the showers through the morning suppressed
0:01:28 > 0:01:30as that little developing area of low pressure
0:01:30 > 0:01:31pushes its way in,
0:01:31 > 0:01:32bringing more prolonged rain
0:01:32 > 0:01:34across Wales and southern England.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Maybe the Midlands by the time we end Friday.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Some heavier bursts of rain to go with that.
0:01:38 > 0:01:39That will work its way eastwards
0:01:39 > 0:01:41across much of England
0:01:41 > 0:01:42as we finish Friday
0:01:42 > 0:01:43and go through Friday night.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44It could be quite a wet spell
0:01:44 > 0:01:46for England and Wales.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Notice our low pressure system doesn't move.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Then another little system
0:01:49 > 0:01:51pushing around the southern flank of it.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53That should hopefully stay clear for Saturday.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Saturday back forward to a more straight-forward
0:01:55 > 0:01:57picture of sunshine and showers.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59As that weather front clears away for Saturday,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01it may help to keep away some of the showers
0:02:01 > 0:02:02from East Anglia and the southeast.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Stops the shower clouds from bubbling up,
0:02:04 > 0:02:06so some longer drier spells here.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Pleasant enough in the sunshine.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10It's crucial just how close that weather front is to us
0:02:10 > 0:02:12as we go into Sunday.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15That system I showed running around, driving low,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18could bring further showers into the west through Sunday.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20East Anglia and southeast,
0:02:20 > 0:02:21you might just about get away with it.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Sunshine and showers really across the board once again.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25It's that story of some of you
0:02:25 > 0:02:27just about avoiding them,
0:02:27 > 0:02:29some may stay part of the day dry.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31When the showers come through,
0:02:31 > 0:02:32it will feel distinctly cool.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Less potency to our low pressure system
0:02:34 > 0:02:36as we go through into Monday.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38In fact, the wind's not as strong.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40There will still be some showers around,
0:02:40 > 0:02:41but with the winds less strong,
0:02:41 > 0:02:43it means they'll be slower moving.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45They'll be with you for a longer spell of time.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46But it does mean more of you
0:02:46 > 0:02:48will avoid the showers through the day.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Once you do, that strong chance of sunshine overhead
0:02:50 > 0:02:52should make up for the rather cool air mass that's with us.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55But, really, as we go into next week,
0:02:55 > 0:02:56little changes.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57The jet stream is still with us.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59It probably has a bit more of a meandering pattern.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01That could mean that low pressures get stuck
0:03:01 > 0:03:02to the west of us a bit more.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04We might drag in slightly warmer air
0:03:04 > 0:03:05every now and again,
0:03:05 > 0:03:08but overall the story is the same into next week
0:03:08 > 0:03:10with low pressure close by.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Yes, we will see the sunshine at times.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14It's August sunshine, strong sunshine.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16That will add a bit of warmth to the days,
0:03:16 > 0:03:18but throughout we'll have to be on guard
0:03:18 > 0:03:20for further spells of rain.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21The breeze picking up at times.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22When there's showers,
0:03:22 > 0:03:23the breeze is with you.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Temperatures for early August
0:03:25 > 0:03:26a little bit on the disappointing side.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Darren will keep you updated tomorrow. Bye for now.
