Welcome to our regular weekly look at international holiday weather. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
Whilst here we are bracing ourselves for storm Abigail | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
and later in the weekend some very wet weather, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
indeed over the weekend, some potentially exceptional wet weather, | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
we do have some warmth still with us further south through | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
the Mediterranean islands and into southern Europe. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
The oranges indicate temperatures just into the low 20s. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
21 in Athens, plenty of sunshine here after what has been quite | 0:00:22 | 0:00:26 | |
a stormy autumn. You won't be without a few showers | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
but, generally through the Mediterranean islands, | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
across the Balearics and into Iberia, through Portugal, lots of fine | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
and dry weather, down towards the Canaries and Madeira as well. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:39 | |
So a settled weekend for many here | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
and indeed across southern parts of France. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
You can see Thessalonika | 0:00:44 | 0:00:45 | |
seeing temperatures into the high teens here. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
And Faro up to 20 degrees. A bit more cloud come Sunday. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
Further north, we do pick up more cloud, | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
a weak weather front around across northern parts of France. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
But it is that weather front which will sit across parts of the central | 0:00:57 | 0:01:01 | |
areas of the UK, north Wales, northern England | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
and southern Scotland which could bring some exceptional | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
amounts of rainfall and clearly a concern for flooding. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
It will affect parts of the Low Countries as well. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
London stays wet, | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
potentially some rain around early on Sunday as well. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
To the south of that in Paris, some drier but still cloudy weather. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
Let's head over to the States now | 0:01:21 | 0:01:22 | |
because across eastern parts of the US and indeed eastern Canada - | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
some snow to come here over the next few days - it is quite chilly air | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
so only eight the high in New York. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
A few showers further south across southern states, | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
southern parts of Florida. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:35 | |
Actually, for the weekend looking pretty unsettled | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
across the Pacific Northwest as well. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
You saw that rain there in Seattle. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:41 | |
It warms up a little bit with some sunshine come Sunday as high pressure | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
starts to build northwards both for New York and | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
for Washington, whilst further west those weather fronts still coming in. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
So for Seattle, for example, some rain around and some showers | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
developing as well in LA and potentially Dallas too. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
As we head to Australia, some stormy weather has been affecting parts of | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
New South Wales, parts of Queensland and up into Northern Territories. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
That continues into the weekend. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
You'd expect that at this time of year. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
Starting to develop those showers across Northern Territories | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
but for Queensland and New South Wales, big storms, some severe | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
storms, you can see, by the brighter colours here on the rainfall chart. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
So some significant thunderstorms around. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
In comparison, on Saturday, in New Zealand it looks fine and dry. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:25 | |
Temperatures still getting there. You can see the low teens. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
However, come Sunday, we have got some rain marching into New Zealand. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
Still those showers in the south and east of Australia | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
but warming up in Perth. 37 the high here. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
Back home, I have talked about Abigail. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
It has been packing a punch through Thursday evening. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
Gusts of 60-70mph but potentially more in the north and west through | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
the night and this little area of rain | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
will be accompanied by squally winds rushing across | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
the southern half of the UK first thing Friday as well. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
So, yes, we could easily see 70, 80, 90mph gusts of wind | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
in northern and western areas | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
where we have got that amber warning from the Met Office. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
It gets much colder behind so we will see our first | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
snow of the season across the Scottish mountains. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
As I say, top gusts 80mph, potentially more. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
The impacts of course are flooding, power outages and travel disruption. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
Coastal flooding, that is. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:14 | |
We start Friday with some nasty weather across many parts | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
but gusty winds of 60-70mph | 0:03:18 | 0:03:19 | |
potentially in western parts of England and Wales | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
and even 60 further east as that rain clears away. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
Then snow could penetrate those showers across Cumbria, | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
into the Pennines as well. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:29 | |
It may well say 7-12 on the thermometer. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
That is lower than it has been for some time | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
but it will feel much colder. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
Now, back to Saturday and what I talked about earlier was | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
the potential for an awful lot of rain. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
This tropical air in amongst this next area of low pressure | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
through Saturday and Sunday, meandering across central areas. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
Southern Scotland, north-west England, north Wales, we think, | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
could see as much as 100-150 millimetres of rain in places. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
That will cause significant impact and potentially flooding. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
Clearly, that is an exceptional amount of rain | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
so please do stay tuned to the forecasts. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 |
