Hello. The emphasis for the next few days

0:00:000:00:03

and further ahead is going to be less on rain and more on cold.

0:00:030:00:08

Thankfully, on Thursday

0:00:080:00:10

it was a much drier day for those areas

0:00:100:00:12

badly affected by the recent heavy rain

0:00:120:00:14

in Cumbria and Lancashire.

0:00:140:00:15

Maybe one or two showers still around on Friday

0:00:150:00:18

but nothing worse than that.

0:00:180:00:19

We've got most of the showers, actually,

0:00:190:00:21

again wintry across Scotland and Northern Ireland.

0:00:210:00:24

The odd shower possibly across southern England after some

0:00:240:00:27

rain overnight. It could be a bit of a dull start

0:00:270:00:29

but most places will see the sunshine coming through,

0:00:290:00:32

a lot of dry weather around away from the north-west

0:00:320:00:34

but temperatures will be lower.

0:00:340:00:36

Four degrees Glasgow and Belfast,

0:00:360:00:38

Nine Celsius in London.

0:00:380:00:40

Temperatures are taking a downward trend.

0:00:400:00:42

Not windy on Friday

0:00:420:00:44

but the winds will start to pick up a little bit as we head overnight

0:00:440:00:47

into Saturday morning

0:00:470:00:48

driving those showers a bit further south.

0:00:480:00:50

Again, some sleet and snow in those, but it's colder air,

0:00:500:00:53

so we're looking at a frost perhaps more widely.

0:00:530:00:55

Almost anywhere, particularly in the countryside,

0:00:550:00:58

could wake up to a frost early on Saturday morning.

0:00:580:01:01

So a cold start,

0:01:010:01:02

north-westerly winds driving in some wintry showers

0:01:020:01:04

mainly across Scotland and Northern Ireland, across the north-west

0:01:040:01:08

of England feeding into Wales, one or two in the south-west.

0:01:080:01:10

But further east across the UK, it may well be a dry day,

0:01:100:01:14

quite a lot of sunshine around too, so that will help the feel

0:01:140:01:17

of the day but there's no disguising the fact that it will be cold.

0:01:170:01:21

The winds, picking up over the weekend,

0:01:210:01:23

will change direction a bit.

0:01:230:01:24

We've got this ridge of high pressure coming in ahead of these

0:01:240:01:28

weather systems off the Atlantic that will eventually bring a change.

0:01:280:01:31

So still quite windy on Sunday but because we're getting this ridge

0:01:310:01:35

coming in, we're losing a lot of the showers, so more places will be dry.

0:01:350:01:39

The sunshine hangs on in the east,

0:01:390:01:40

but in the west ahead of that rain

0:01:400:01:42

and those weather systems,

0:01:420:01:44

we'll get increasing cloud adding to the cold feel.

0:01:440:01:46

Nothing on that weather front there, the warm front.

0:01:460:01:49

All the rain is on the secondary front,

0:01:490:01:51

the cold front around that area of low pressure.

0:01:510:01:53

We're going to find rain sweeping its way in overnight,

0:01:530:01:57

continuing to drive its way into

0:01:570:01:58

south-eastern areas on Monday then moving away.

0:01:580:02:01

The wind direction changes back to north-westerly

0:02:010:02:04

and we start to drag down some colder air.

0:02:040:02:06

But Monday should be probably the mildest day of the next few.

0:02:060:02:10

Then as that area of low pressure moves away,

0:02:100:02:12

so we start to push our air all the way from the north once again

0:02:120:02:16

as this rather flat and long area of high pressure

0:02:160:02:19

blocks everything off from the Atlantic.

0:02:190:02:22

So we're drawing down colder air back across the UK

0:02:220:02:26

with northerly winds set to return.

0:02:260:02:28

So that means cold, it means sunshine, it means some showers.

0:02:280:02:31

The wind direction will be crucial.

0:02:310:02:33

More showers, wintry across northern Scotland, Northern Ireland,

0:02:330:02:36

running across western parts of England and Wales

0:02:360:02:38

not far away from the east coast

0:02:380:02:40

but a change in the wind direction such as we may

0:02:400:02:43

see on Wednesday may mean some more showers across the eastern

0:02:430:02:47

side of the UK and fewer showers out towards the west.

0:02:470:02:50

So subtle changes in the wind direction

0:02:500:02:53

changing the distribution of the showers.

0:02:530:02:55

Looking further ahead,

0:02:550:02:57

we need to look at the jet stream to explain what's going on.

0:02:570:02:59

This is high up in the atmosphere, the upper level winds

0:02:590:03:02

and with this configuration,

0:03:020:03:03

this buckling of the jet stream, you get high pressure

0:03:030:03:06

sitting to the west of the UK,

0:03:060:03:07

low pressure driven into south-east Europe

0:03:070:03:09

where it could be quite wet, not just rain but also some snow.

0:03:090:03:12

Now, we're going to see some snow over the outlook period

0:03:120:03:15

because the winds are going to be northerly.

0:03:150:03:17

So it is staying cold.

0:03:170:03:19

As we were talking about this time yesterday,

0:03:190:03:21

sunshine and wintry showers around and with some clear

0:03:210:03:24

skies at night, we're going to find some more frosts as well.

0:03:240:03:27

That's it, goodbye.
