Hello. We've just had the highest temperature of the week. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
The heat was much more concentrated on Tuesday | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
into the south-east corner of England. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
We had a temperature of 29 degrees in Kent. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
You can see the blue skies we had earlier on Tuesday in Kent. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
Contrast that with more cloud that was spilling down into Lincolnshire | 0:00:15 | 0:00:19 | |
where we saw the highest temperatures on Monday. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
And as we move into Wednesday, | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
we'll find the cloud thickening | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
and two sets of weather fronts, | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
areas of low pressure, | 0:00:27 | 0:00:28 | |
converging upon England and Wales. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
So a very different day on the way | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
for some southern and eastern parts of England, | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
with some rain that could be heavy at times. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
The rain should clear away | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
from Wales and the south-west, | 0:00:38 | 0:00:39 | |
a few showers and some sunshine further north. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
A lot of showers to come, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:43 | |
slow moving and heavy ones across Northern Ireland. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
Temperatures typically 16 or 17 degrees | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
and that goes for East Anglia and the south-east | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
where it will be raining all day. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
So a significant drop in temperature here. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
A pretty miserable day on the way. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
A far cry from the heat we've seen recently. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
That rain pushes away out | 0:00:58 | 0:00:59 | |
into the southern North Sea eventually overnight. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
Clearer skies will follow | 0:01:02 | 0:01:03 | |
and it'll turn chilly in the countryside. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
We're down to 7 or 8 degrees quite easily. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
The very warm air is really now | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
across the near continent on Thursday | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
and that low pressure is taking the downpours away. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
But this little weather front here | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
moving very slowly in the slack winds | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
is going to focus some showers. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
But they'll be hit and miss, | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
everything quite slow moving, | 0:01:23 | 0:01:24 | |
but if you catch a shower, | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
particularly across Wales and western England, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
those showers could be heavy, | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
potentially thundery. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:31 | |
It should be a drier day | 0:01:31 | 0:01:32 | |
for East Anglia and the south-east. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
It should feel a bit warmer as well. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
But it's not likely to stay dry | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
overnight and into Friday | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
because that little weather front | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
focusing those showers and the low pressure | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
drifts down towards the south-east, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
higher pressure building in | 0:01:46 | 0:01:47 | |
towards the north-west. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
So, for much of Scotland, | 0:01:49 | 0:01:50 | |
Northern Ireland, northern England and Wales, | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
it'll be dry, very few showers. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
Southern England, the Midlands, | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
across to East Anglia, more likely | 0:01:56 | 0:01:57 | |
to catch the showers to end the week. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
Temperatures perhaps 20 degrees at best. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
17 to 20 is really quite normal | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
for this time of the year. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:05 | |
Those showers eventually push away | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
as this ridge of high pressure builds in | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
at the start of the weekend. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:11 | |
It looks like a promising day on Saturday. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
There won't be much of a breeze | 0:02:14 | 0:02:15 | |
away from the far north | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
and north-west of Scotland. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:18 | |
So in the sunshine it should feel | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
quite warm for the time of year. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
The winds will be lighter | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
and it should be a dry day | 0:02:24 | 0:02:25 | |
with some sunny spells. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
Perhaps staying fine with some sunshine | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
across much of England on Sunday. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
Further north and west, | 0:02:31 | 0:02:32 | |
some rain beginning to arrive, | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
slowly but surely. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
The winds picking up as well. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
But it's a southerly wind, | 0:02:38 | 0:02:39 | |
so anything coming in from the Atlantic | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
is going to take some time. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
We need to get more of a westerly wind | 0:02:43 | 0:02:44 | |
to push everything along. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
But you get the idea | 0:02:46 | 0:02:47 | |
that there's bands of cloud and rain | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
waiting in the Atlantic, | 0:02:49 | 0:02:50 | |
higher pressure towards the east of the UK. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
Into next week, there's a chance | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
we could get warmer air into the south-east, | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
a risk of some thunder. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:58 | |
But that's a lower probability. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
What's more likely to happen is | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
that these westerly winds from the Atlantic | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
will win out eventually | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
and erratically, steadily, | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
we'll see bands of rain | 0:03:08 | 0:03:09 | |
pushing eastwards across the UK. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
So a change to something more unsettled into next week. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
Rain or showers, the winds picking up, | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
gales likely in the north, | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
but with that we'll find | 0:03:19 | 0:03:20 | |
warmer nights on the way. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
And it's going to be that bit drier | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
and probably a bit warmer in the south-east. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
That's it from me. Bye for now. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 |
