Hello. Where our air is coming from governs to a large degree | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
the sort of weather we get, but also the temperature, | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
the feel of the weather. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:09 | |
Now, for Monday there was a lot of cloud around | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
but those areas that saw a bit of blue sky | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
saw temperatures well above normal for the time of year - | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
Cheshire up to 17 Celsius | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
where 8 or 9 degrees is average for this stage of November. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:24 | |
And the reason why - where the air is coming from, | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
around low pressure, following the isobars all the way | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
well to the south of the UK. Any time of year that is | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
a warm direction. This is unusually mild air for the time | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
of year. Spreading northwards, yet to reach into northern | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
Scotland, but during Tuesday, even here temperatures will | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
be heading up. It will be a wet day, mind you, | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
but the snow we've had in the hills gradually turning | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
back to rain. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:49 | |
There is a lot of cloud with this moist flow of air | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
from the south-west so, again, sunshine will be | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
hard to come by but those areas that do see a few funny spells | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
across parts of England and Wales may well end with temperatures | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
higher than this, though we will see outbreaks of rain | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
pushing in to parts of Wales and western England | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
into the afternoon, feeding a little bit further south-east during | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
Tuesday evening. Low pressure is in charge, | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
plenty of weather fronts, the winds picking up as well. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
We are concerned going into Wednesday again in this | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
flow of mild, moist air from the south-west, this wriggling | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
weather front producing a bit of rain, especially into | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
parts of north-west England during Wednesday, especially | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
into Cumbria, Lancashire, 25-50ml possible, maybe up | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
to 100 in the hills. Need to watch out for impact from that. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
The winds picking up and rain also across parts of Wales, | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
western England, Northern Ireland and Scotland. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
But central and eastern parts of England staying | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
mainly dry, getting a bit of sunshine, and again we | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
could see 16 or 17 degrees. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
But look at this - going into Thursday there's a cold front | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
moving southwards and we're changing the direction | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
of the isobars more to a north, north-westerly direction. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
What does that mean? Well, colder air coming back in | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
to Scotland and Northern Ireland but something drier and | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
brighter with that flow of air, still perhaps mild | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
for one more day across southern parts, with still some | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
outbreaks of rain as that front pushes on through. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
So at the end of the week it looks like colder air is | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
beginning to move its way southwards once again and as we go | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
into the weekend it looks like it will have completed | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
its journey southwards. It will be a brisk and chilly wind | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
from the north, north-west. In that flow of air | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
we've brightened things up, we get sunny spells | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
but there will be some wintry showers | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
and maybe something less cold from the Atlantic | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
coming in right at the end of the weekend, at least | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
into western parts. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:34 | |
So the weekend looks like a cold start, probably cold throughout | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
with frosty nights and a risk of wintry showers, | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
but a hint of something a little less cold coming in from the | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
Atlantic again, at least into western parts later in the weekend. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
And then into the following week, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
it looks like we are still battle zone Britain | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
with milder Atlantic air fighting with this colder air from the north | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
for supremacy and it looks like we're going to swing between the two | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
as we go through the week. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
Now, when the colder air from the north, north-west comes in | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
it will likely be brighter but of course colder and frosty | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
and there will be a risk of wintry showers. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
In the milder spells, where the | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
Atlantic pushes that air in from the west, we may see some rain at times. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
But even in the milder spells the Atlantic flow next week, | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
it looks like it's not going to be as wet | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
or as windy as it is at times this week, nor as mild. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
So 16, 17 Celsius, | 0:03:27 | 0:03:28 | |
short-term offer. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 |
