Hello, there. We've had some very mild air across the British Isles | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
over the last couple of days - | 0:00:05 | 0:00:06 | |
in fact, you might go so far as to say | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
the weekend felt quite springlike in places, | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
particularly where you got to see | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
some Sunday sunshine. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:14 | |
That lifted temperatures | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
across parts of central and eastern England | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
very close to 15 degrees - | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
but that trend is not going to continue | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
into the week ahead. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
The mild air that has been wafting up | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
across the country | 0:00:26 | 0:00:27 | |
is going to be replaced | 0:00:27 | 0:00:28 | |
by cold air from the north-west, | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
behind this cold front | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
sinking southwards and eastwards | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
as we start the new working week, | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
ahead of the frontal system, still mild | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
and pretty windy, as well, | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
so, a mild start | 0:00:40 | 0:00:41 | |
across the south of the country, | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
but then we see this band of heavy rain | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
sinking southwards and eastwards, | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
and behind that, we peel back the cloud - | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
yes, we brighten the skies, | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
but we drop the temperatures, as well. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
Just 5 degrees in Aberdeen | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
through Monday afternoon, | 0:00:55 | 0:00:56 | |
and some showers | 0:00:56 | 0:00:57 | |
starting to pack into the north-west - | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
some heavy, thundery | 0:00:59 | 0:01:00 | |
and starting to turn wintry, | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
because that's the big theme through the week ahead. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
It'll turn colder, | 0:01:04 | 0:01:05 | |
cold enough for wintry showers - | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
it'll often be windy, with gales at times. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
Now, having said that, | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
the winds will be fairly light | 0:01:12 | 0:01:13 | |
as we move into the first part of Tuesday. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
An area of high pressure just trying to exert | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
an influence on our weather. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:18 | |
Where you're closest to the high, | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
particularly for central and eastern areas of England, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
there could be a touch of frost | 0:01:23 | 0:01:24 | |
on Tuesday morning. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:25 | |
Here, some good spells of sunshine - | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
but then a pincer movement of weather systems, | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
one into the south-west, one into the north-west, | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
bringing rain, and the winds | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
will start to strengthen, as well - | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
and here comes another cold front, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
another band of rain, | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
and behind it a renewed push | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
of cold air from the north-west. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
Now, on Wednesday, | 0:01:43 | 0:01:44 | |
yes, we'll see some spells of sunshine developing, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
but we'll also see quite a few showers - | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
particularly over high ground in the north, | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
but, perhaps, to low levels across Scotland, | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
the showers will turn wintry, | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
because temperatures | 0:01:56 | 0:01:57 | |
will be only around 4 to 9 degrees, | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
and it could feel colder than that | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
given the strength of the wind. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:02 | |
Still windy on Thursday, gales in exposed spots, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
particularly up to the north-east. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:06 | |
There should be fewer showers by this stage, | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
more in the way of dry weather - again, 5 to 8 degrees. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
So, some cold air in place | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
as we head towards the end of the week. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
We're likely to see quite a widespread frost | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
on Friday morning, and then, into that cold air, | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
we're going to bring a frontal system from the west, | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
bringing outbreaks of rain, yes, | 0:02:25 | 0:02:26 | |
but on its leading edge, | 0:02:26 | 0:02:27 | |
Northern Ireland, northern England, Scotland | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
could see some snow for a time. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:31 | |
Generally, though, | 0:02:31 | 0:02:32 | |
it looks like we'll end the week | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
with some slightly milder air | 0:02:34 | 0:02:35 | |
returning from the south-west. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
Now, into next weekend, | 0:02:37 | 0:02:38 | |
we're likely to see further bands of rain | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
pushing across the country | 0:02:41 | 0:02:42 | |
accompanied, once again, | 0:02:42 | 0:02:43 | |
temporarily, by some slightly milder air - | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
but the tendency will always be | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
to get us back | 0:02:47 | 0:02:48 | |
into these north or north-westerly winds. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
So, yes, while there might be | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
mild periods of weather, | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
there will also be | 0:02:55 | 0:02:56 | |
some pretty cold weather around, as well. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
So, we can sum it up like this | 0:02:59 | 0:03:00 | |
for the weekend and beyond - | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
there will be spells of rain | 0:03:02 | 0:03:03 | |
interspersed by brighter periods | 0:03:03 | 0:03:04 | |
and some sunshine. Cold enough, | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
where we have those brighter periods, | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
to give some wintry showers | 0:03:08 | 0:03:09 | |
as those temperatures continue | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
to wobble upwards and downwards. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:12 | |
Now, there is just a chance, | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
as we look even further ahead, | 0:03:14 | 0:03:15 | |
that we might see high pressure | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
building down from Scandinavia, | 0:03:17 | 0:03:18 | |
blocking the weather patterns, | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
stopping the Atlantic weather system, | 0:03:20 | 0:03:21 | |
so, turning things less unsettled, | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
but bringing us an easterly wind - | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
and at this time of year, | 0:03:26 | 0:03:27 | |
that will still feel like winter. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 |
