Hello there. So, the Beast from the East has arrived. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
As we know, it's just a minibeast. This one's not going to be as nasty. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
We have seen a significant drop in temperature | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
and we have seen some snow already. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
These are just two of the many Weather Watcher pictures | 0:00:12 | 0:00:16 | |
we've been sent in the past 24 hours. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:17 | |
Keep sending them in on Sunday, | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
because there will be more wintry scenes across the UK. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:23 | |
We've still got warnings out from the Met Office - some yellow ones, | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
the more significant amber ones are still in place for snow | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
and ice across parts of England and Wales as we head into Sunday. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:34 | |
Any milder air that we had over the past few days has been | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
pushed all the way down into Africa instead. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
Our air originates from Siberia, hence that cold easterly wind | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
bringing some more snow overnight and into Sunday, as well. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
The main heavier snowfall towards the south-west of England and Wales | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
tending to creep away through the day. Some heavy falls over hills. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
Behind it, dry, cloudy conditions for the south-east. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
More snow showers coming in off the North Sea, mind you, | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
mainly for the Humber northwards, | 0:01:00 | 0:01:01 | |
and temperatures, well, struggling to make one or two degrees. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
And add on the strength of that easterly wind, | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
it'll feel like minus five or minus six. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
Cold winds feeding in from the east around an area of high pressure, | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
but the position of the high pressure is going to change | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
over the coming few days - the centre of the high towards Scotland, | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
so here the winds will be lighter. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
Very frosty, still icy conditions on Monday. Stronger winds for England | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
and Wales, but not as strong, so it won't feel as cold. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
The air's a bit drier, so most places will be dry. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
And there'll be some sunshine around, as well. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
Indeed, not much falling from the sky, really, on Monday at all. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
We're losing the snow, because high pressure is building in | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
and it's just calming things down. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
There's the high pressure, more across the UK on Tuesday. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
Around the edge of it we get a northerly wind. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
It's cold, but it's not as cold as an easterly wind. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
It'll be mainly affecting eastern England, that wind, | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
where there'll be more cloud. You might get one or two showers, | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
but on the whole again it's going to be dry, | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
sunshine, temperatures creeping up to seven or eight degrees. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
Still cold, but it's better. It's a trend. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
The really mild air is more towards the Atlantic, and to get that we | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
need to change the wind direction, squash away the high pressure, | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
around the top of it bring in the south-westerly winds, | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
and that's what we start to do on Wednesday. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
It comes, of course, with a lot more cloud, | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
and we get some outbreaks of rain towards the north-west of the UK, | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
nothing very much. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
Towards the south-east it's probably going to be dry. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
Ten degrees in Belfast, a significant change here. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
A little rain on that weather front there pushes away, and then we get | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
a more significant weather system from the Atlantic again on Thursday. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
That's going to bring thickening cloud, outbreaks of rain. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
It could be a bit heavier, this rain, in the north-west. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
Over the hills of Western Scotland, some wet weather here, | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
but again not much reaching the eastern side of England. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
It's probably going to be dry and bright. A little bit of sunshine. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
We're not going to be seeing so much frost, because the air's | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
a bit milder, and temperatures widely ten or 11 degrees. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
So, let's head into the outlook, and things will change again, | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
because a lot of that milder air gets pushed away. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
Instead, you can see the swirl on the wind pattern in the colder air. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
With the jet stream to the south of the UK, | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
we've got an area of low pressure, | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
and that means it's going to be very unsettled as we head into next | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
weekend. Things slowly improving beyond then. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
But what we'll find is next weekend it's going to be quite windy. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
There may well be some gales around, we'll have some rain or showers, | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
not much snow around at all. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
And then, as the low clears away, we get a north-westerly | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
and it will turn a little bit cooler. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 |
