Hello. We've had some disruptive
snowfall through the weekend. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
It has been treacherous
out and about | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
and a real shock to the system. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:08 | |
Significant snowfall as well,
10 to 15 centimetres in part. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
This was Llandrindod Wells
on Sunday morning. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
We had a lot of snow
in Doncaster as well. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
This picture was sent in by our
weather watcher here. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
And even in low-lying southern
areas, such as Bristol, | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
we had a covering of snow and indeed
of course there were amber warnings | 0:00:21 | 0:00:26 | |
across many parts in he south,
the west and Wales during Sunday. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:30 | |
Now, as we get into Monday,
it's still cold to start with | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
because we've still got that
Siberian easterly wind | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
dominating in he south but the
winds are starting to ease | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
in he north and we're starting to
see the Atlantic mild air | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
get a little closer to our shores. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
So it will start cold
but largely dry this week. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
However, it will be very icy first
thing | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
and then we've got the milder air
that will gradually lift | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
the temperatures coming in as we go
through towards midweek. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
So Monday still has the risk of some
snow flurries in he south | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
but particularly he south and West,
the Channel Islands as well. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
For many, though, it's a drier day,
brighter, not as cold. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
I won't say warm yet. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
Four or five degrees and we've still
got that wind in he south, | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
so there's still a wind chill here. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:11 | |
It's not so noticeable in he north
because in he north, | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
we're closer to this area of high
pressure, | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
which is keeping, or maintaining,
drier conditions here. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
And that slips southward, it allows
a northerly wind in for Tuesday. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
Again, a northerly wind from the
Arctic isn't a particularly warm | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
wind direction at this time of year. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
However, we're cutting off that
bitter Siberian air. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
So it won't be as cold Tuesday. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:32 | |
It will start icy and there could
still be a few showers | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
coming into eastern areas
and one or two bits of cloud | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
and drizzle into the north and west. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
But with 7 to 9,
temperatures are slowly recovering. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
There will be a snowmelt as well,
possibly rain midweek, | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
so we'll have to keep an eye on
river levels. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
But by midweek we certainly are
dominated | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
by this south-westerly wind across
most of the country. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
That high pressure sitting across
he south will maintain | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
a lot of dry and settled weather
here. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
There could be some murkiness
around in the morning. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
But again, the rain is mostly
for the Highlands and the islands | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
on Wednesday, temperatures
elsewhere are slowly recovering. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
We're seeing double figures. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
And we should see that again
through Thursday and Friday | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
because you've got this wedge now of
mild Atlantic air | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
from those south-westerly winds, | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
our prevailing wind direction
dominating. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
But of course with the prevailing
wind, the south-westerly, | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
often we have rain and low pressure. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
And that's what we have on Thursday. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
So for more of us there'll be rain,
some heavy rain, | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
some stronger winds driving it
eastwards | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
but again it will take much
of the day to reach eastern areas. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
But by then we might have 12 or 13
degrees. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
That's still with us across southern
and eastern areas | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
through Thursday night into Friday,
clearing out of the way | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
and then we've got this huge area of
low pressure | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
dominating western Europe. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:37 | |
So you can imagine there'll be
further areas of low pressure, | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
weather fronts sent our way. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:41 | |
So Friday looks fairly disturbed. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
There'll be some gusty winds near
the showery rain | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
as it moves eastwards. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:47 | |
It's difficult at this stage to put
the finite detail on | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
but of course we'll keep you posted
through the week | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
and again it's still relatively
mild, 8 to 11 is around average | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
for the time of year. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
As that low slips away southwards,
we do allow a northerly wind | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
to come in for a time, so it could
be an element of winteriness | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
over the hills, some frost by night. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
But most of the low pressure is
then towards the second half | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
of the week into the weekend and
early the following week | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
are driven to the north by our jet
stream, | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
that's the fast-moving air in the
upper atmosphere that drives the low | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
pressures in off the Atlantic, | 0:03:15 | 0:03:16 | |
driving them towards northern areas. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
So always it looks as if southern
parts will see less rain | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
with high pressure around but there
will be some cooler interludes | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
as we move through the weekend and
into the beginning of next week. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
Bye-bye for now. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:28 |
