Hello. On Monday we saw sunshine overhead | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
thawing quite a bit of the snow that fell over the weekend. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
Tuesday is the start of astronomical spring | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
and for the rest of the week | 0:00:09 | 0:00:10 | |
the weather will actually | 0:00:10 | 0:00:11 | |
start to feel a bit more like it. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
It's turning milder across most parts of the country. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
A lot of the dry weather, but later on, rain in the west. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
Dry at the moment because high pressure is in charge, | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
but notice how it shifts its position now into Tuesday. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
So instead of easterly winds, we're getting winds | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
from a northerly direction across England and Wales. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
Quite a bit of cloud to begin with, but that will break up. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
Some sunny spells coming through. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:32 | |
Frosty to start with across Scotland and Northern Ireland, | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
but some of the sunniest weather throughout. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
We'll see more cloud pushing into the Highlands | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
and Islands during the day and that's all linked | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
into the change of wind direction as our high pressure gradually shifts. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
Temperatures up on what we've seen in recent days. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
That shift in wind direction continues into Tuesday evening | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
and it's all down to what's happening in the Atlantic. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
The jet stream's strengthening in the western Atlantic | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
and that's starting to shove things a bit further eastwards. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
And as you can see from the yellow colours, | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
getting milder air closer and closer towards us. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
By Wednesday, with high pressure to the south of us, | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
we're now dragging the air off the Atlantic. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
But with it will come some Atlantic weather fronts. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
They'll affect mainly Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
Nothing desperately heavy, but patchy rain and drizzle. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
Sunny but frosty start across England and Wales. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
Temperatures of -5 or -6 to begin with, lifting up to 7 to 9 degrees | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
with sunny spells and increasing cloud during the day. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
But just note across Scotland and Northern Ireland, | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
10, 11, maybe 12 degrees across Aberdeenshire. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
That run of Atlantic winds continues into Thursday | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
with high pressure to the south, low pressure to the north. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
A ridge of high pressure for Thursday, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
so for many it will be a fine day. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
Could be a bit frosty across eastern areas to begin with, | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
but not quite as cold as we start the week. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
Cloud increasing through the day, most places staying dry, | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
but Ireland and west Scotland later on, | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
rain will gradually work its way in and the breeze picks up. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
But with some sunshine, Aberdeenshire, Angus, | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
down through eastern England, 12 or 13 Celsius likely. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
As we go through into the end of the week, low pressure becomes dominant. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
We'll see weak weather fronts spread across England and Wales. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
They'll not amount to much across the south. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
Some heavier bursts further north. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
Then we start to see showers work their way in. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
Some accompanied by rumbles of thunder, hail too. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
But with sunshine in between, starting to feel | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
the effect of that strengthening March sunshine overhead. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
Double figure temperatures mostly around where | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
they should be for the time of year. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
For the weekend, that low pressure still with us. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
It migrates a bit further north-eastwards | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
and allows the winds to go more north-westerly. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
So there's a chance, as weather fronts | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
push across Scotland on Saturday, | 0:02:37 | 0:02:38 | |
some snow over the hills for the time being. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
But a lot of dry and bright weather. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
To take us into the weekend showers developing across the west. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
Some heavy with hail and thunder | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
and maybe a bit of snow, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
but that's limited to the tops of the hills. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
Most places seeing double figure temperatures to take us | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
into the weekend. That low pressure still close by as we go into Sunday. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
So sunshine and showers once again. | 0:02:58 | 0:02:59 | |
A brief ridge of high pressure as we go into the start of next week. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
But next week looks like we'll see the split. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
Low pressure to the north, high pressure to the south, | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
so we're still going to dominate with Atlantic winds coming in. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
Always looks like, from the computer models, | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
that low pressure will be more dominant than the high. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
So it's always going to be a case of rain more likely at times | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
with windy conditions. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:18 | |
They'll be some sunny days as the ridge of high pressure pushes in. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
Maybe some frosty nights. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
Mild overall, but there could be hints | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
as we approach Easter of things turning colder. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
We'll keep you updated. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:29 |
