This evening will see a decease in the amount of showers and gusty conditions, with majority of the rainfall being confined to eastern Scotland, parts of North Ireland and far southwest England through the overnight period. However patchy cloud, rain and gusts will occur for some into the evening, – This is the Met Office UK Weather forecast for the evening of 15/04/24. Bringing you today’s weather forecast is Aidan McGivern.
00:00 Hello again. The weather is finally settling down, both in the longer term, more on that in a moment,
00:06 but also in the shorter term it's going to become less windy overnight and less showery,
00:12 although there's still going to be quite a blustery breeze and a number of showers moving in on that north-westerly.
00:19 The showers by the end of the night more focused towards eastern Scotland and parts of eastern England,
00:23 but there'll still be some showers moving through central parts as well as Northern Ireland.
00:27 And with the wind overnight it's going to keep things less frosty than they would be otherwise.
00:34 But a bit of a chill in the air as we start off Tuesday with temperatures in the mid-single figures fairly widely,
00:41 perhaps a little lower in some sheltered spots.
00:44 But it will be a bright start for some of us. Scotland faring well for early morning sunshine,
00:49 Northern England then as well, parts of Wales and the south-west seeing some sunny spells.
00:53 Thicker cloud I think along the eastern and central parts of England with further showers coming in from the North Sea,
00:59 along with that gusty wind continuing. But it is going to be on the whole a less windy and less showery day compared with Monday.
01:05 Some afternoon showers will bubble up across central and southern parts, Northern Ireland, northern and western Scotland for example,
01:11 but in between these showers there'll also be some sunny spells and a decent amount of sunshine for some of these central parts,
01:18 Northern England into parts of Wales and the south-west by the afternoon.
01:22 And with lighter winds it's going to feel a lot more pleasant I suspect compared with Monday,
01:26 even if temperatures are still a little below average for the time of year.
01:30 We're looking at a peak of 15 Celsius somewhere towards the south of England, but otherwise generally 11s, 12s, 13s on the map.
01:38 Now, a bright end to the day, but we're going to see further showers arriving into northern parts,
01:44 Scotland, Northern Ireland, Northern England and then north and west Wales by midnight.
01:49 And with the winds turning more northerly, those showers will be falling as snow over Scotland's hills and mountains.
01:57 But otherwise clear spells in places as we start off Wednesday and with lighter winds.
02:02 Again, it's going to be a cold start to the day, slightly colder compared with Tuesday morning with a frost more possible in many places,
02:11 particularly sheltered parts of southern Scotland and northern England into central areas.
02:15 But compensation, plenty of sunshine as we begin Wednesday.
02:19 The cloud will build and by the afternoon it will be mostly cloudy I think,
02:23 and that cloud will give some showers into Scotland, parts of northern and eastern England.
02:28 Longer spells of damp weather into Northern Ireland, but actually not much rainfall.
02:35 And many places will stay dry, especially towards the south, for example, and western Scotland seeing some decent bright spells into the afternoon.
02:43 Another chilly day to come with that northerly breeze, 10 to 12 Celsius.
02:48 So, yeah, it's turning gradually less wet, but temperatures are still going to struggle.
02:54 However, higher pressure is on the way.
02:58 We have to be patient because there's this next area of low pressure that moves through on Thursday and Friday
03:03 to bring more rain or showers with it.
03:06 Then, it's after that moves through, high pressure finally arrives from the Atlantic.
03:11 It becomes centred over the UK for the start of the weekend.
03:13 Don't expect a heatwave. It's going to bring a lot of cloud initially and some fairly cool air with it.
03:20 So, yeah, temperatures about average this weekend, but most places are going to be dry.
03:25 Finally, a break from all the relentless wet weather we've seen recently.
03:29 We'll keep you updated right here on YouTube and on all our other social media channels.
