00:00Welcome to your weather for the
00:02week ahead from the Met Office, a
00:03week ahead that promises plenty of
00:05blue sky, lots of September
00:07sunshine on offer and not
00:09much rain.
00:10Most places will be dry through
00:12much of this week.
00:13This time of year, though, the
00:14nights are long enough for things
00:15to turn a bit misty overnight.
00:17So maybe a few fog patches here
00:19and there, especially later on in
00:21the week. When we're talking dry
00:22and sunny weather, we're usually
00:24talking high pressure.
00:25And that's what we've got this
00:27week, a big area of high pressure
00:29ambling in across the country
00:31and sticking around through
00:32Wednesday, through Thursday.
00:34By Friday, it just starts to
00:35wobble its way a little bit
00:37further eastwards.
00:38And that might allow us
00:40to draw up some warm air from
00:42the near continent with southerly
00:44winds pushing in.
00:45So temperatures could be rising by
00:47Friday and maybe for the first
00:49part of the weekend.
00:51Let's rewind the clock, though,
00:52and break down the weather
00:54day by day.
00:55We're not completely cloud and
00:57rain free.
00:58There is this weather front across
00:59the far south initially on
01:01Tuesday, bringing maybe some patchy
01:03rain across Cornwall and the
01:04Channel Islands.
01:05But it is shrinking away to
01:06the south and there will be showers
01:08at the opposite end of the country
01:09as well over the Northern Isles,
01:11possibly Aberdeenshire.
01:12One or two scattered showers on
01:14Tuesday.
01:14But for most, it's dry, it's fine,
01:16it's sunny. It'll be a chilly start
01:18on Tuesday.
01:19By the afternoon in the sunshine,
01:20temperatures getting into the mid
01:22to high teens, maybe 20 degrees
01:24across the south with light winds.
01:25That should feel fairly pleasant.
01:27It will cloud over in the far
01:29northwest.
01:29Here we have a weather front just
01:32trying to trickle its way into
01:34the north of Scotland on Tuesday
01:36night and into Wednesday.
01:37A bit of uncertainty about the
01:38timing of that weather front,
01:40but it does look like bringing a
01:42fair bit of clouds and some rain at
01:43times over the Highlands, the
01:45Northern and Western Isles during
01:47Wednesday.
01:47The central belt southwards, though,
01:49it is a dry and a fine day.
01:50Could start a bit misty, maybe the
01:52old fog patch here and there, but
01:53it should clear away quite quickly.
01:56A fair bit of cloud at times across
01:57northern England, southern Scotland,
01:59but generally dry and bright.
02:00And with some sunshine in the south,
02:02temperatures again getting up to 20
02:03degrees. Spot the difference on
02:05Thursday.
02:06Maybe a bit more mist and fog,
02:07particularly Northern Ireland, parts
02:08of northern England, maybe Wales.
02:10Still some patchy rain in northern
02:12Scotland, but probably not
02:14as wet here as it will
02:16be on Wednesday.
02:17Just a few showers, really.
02:18Again, for the majority, it's
02:20dry, it's bright and temperatures
02:22just creeping up a little bit by
02:23Thursday, particularly across the
02:25south. We could be more
02:27likely into the low 20s.
02:29Typically, though, we're into the
02:30high teens, feeling fairly
02:32pleasant in that afternoon sunshine
02:34after a chilly old morning.
02:36Now it's Thursday and into Friday
02:37that the high pressure itself just
02:39starts to push a little bit further
02:41eastward. Signs of change as
02:43weather fronts are gathering
02:45out in the Atlantic.
02:46But for most places, still
02:48high pressure in control.
02:49It could make for a bit more fog
02:52in the morning on Friday morning.
02:54Just bear that in mind for Friday
02:55morning's commute.
02:56But overall, it's looking dry again
02:58on Friday and with the wind starting
03:00to pick up from the south
03:02across particularly western areas.
03:04Well, it could feel a bit warmer on
03:05Friday too.
03:06Again, there'll be some cloud
03:07milling around here and there across
03:09parts of the east, but generally
03:11expect plenty of sunshine and those
03:12temperatures responding to a bit
03:14more sunshine as warmer air starts
03:16to waft its way further north.
03:18More likely to see temperatures up
03:19to 20 degrees more widely,
03:21perhaps up into the mid 20s in
03:23one or two spots.
03:24That sunshine should hang on
03:26into the first part of the weekend.
03:28But it has to be said, there's a lot
03:30of uncertainty about how things
03:32change through the weekend.
03:33We are expecting it to turn windier
03:35and possibly wetter during the
03:37weekend too.
03:38That's a long way off and it's
03:40fairly typical to be a bit
03:42uncertain about the weekend at this
03:44stage. So the message is stay tuned
03:46if you have plans for the weekend,
03:48but also make the most of the fine
03:49weather for much of this week.
03:51All the very latest details will be
03:53across our channels on social media
03:55and YouTube.
