00:00Hello. Welcome to your weather for the
00:01week ahead from the Met Office.
00:03Now, there are signs of some drier
00:05weather towards the end of the week.
00:08But as you can probably tell, we are
00:10in for some lively weather before
00:11that. Plenty of heavy showers around
00:13over the next few days and the
00:14potential for some
00:16thunderstorms, especially on Tuesday
00:18night and into Wednesday.
00:20More on that in a moment, because, as
00:21I said, overall, towards the end of
00:23the week, there are some signs that
00:25it might start to turn at least a
00:27little bit drier and a little bit
00:28sunnier. Now, for that, we need high
00:30pressure to be in charge.
00:32And this at the moment is how the
00:34pressure maps are looking for
00:35Saturday.
00:36But let's rewind
00:39and go through the rest of the week,
00:40because for most of this week, low
00:42pressure will be controlling things,
00:44bringing those showers.
00:45In particular, we need to keep our
00:47eyes on this area of low pressure
00:48pushing up towards the UK
00:51at the moment.
00:52Right now, we've got low pressure,
00:53different low pressure to the north
00:54of the UK and this weather front
00:56dangling across the country, bringing
00:58a fair bit of cloud around on Tuesday
01:00morning across central areas.
01:01But some places starting sunny.
01:03But here comes the first batch of
01:05showery rain across the south.
01:07Some heavier bursts in that across
01:08the Midlands, East Anglia and the
01:10southeast.
01:11Further north, well, actually fewer
01:12showers on Tuesday across Scotland
01:14and Northern Ireland and a bit more
01:16in the way of sunshine, particularly
01:18over Northern England.
01:19Temperature wise, well, nothing
01:21too spectacular.
01:22We're probably seeing highs in the
01:24high teens, maybe up to 20
01:26or 21 in one or two spots.
01:28But the wind's a bit lighter on
01:29Tuesday, so perhaps feeling a bit
01:31warmer than Monday.
01:32However, it's later on Tuesday
01:35that we're a bit worried about
01:37things coming up from the south.
01:38Some heavy thundery showers likely
01:40to break out across the English
01:42Channel and spread northwards across
01:44parts of the Midlands and the
01:46eastern side of England.
01:47Now, there'll be hit and miss.
01:48Not everywhere you're going to see
01:50these downpours, but they could
01:52cause some problems, particularly
01:53after all the wet weather of last
01:55week across these eastern areas.
01:57Certainly where we catch these
01:59thundery downpours, the roads
02:01will be fairly treacherous, a lot of
02:03spray and surface water around.
02:05And there could be some flooding,
02:06as I said, particularly because
02:08of all the wet weather we had last
02:10week. And the ground is very
02:11soggy at the moment.
02:12So the potential for some travel
02:14disruption, this is on Tuesday
02:15evening and into
02:17Wednesday across those eastern
02:19areas. It doesn't look much on the
02:21pressure pattern, but it's this
02:22sort of set of weather fronts just
02:23moving northwards through
02:25Tuesday night and into Wednesday
02:27that could cause those problems.
02:28As that low starts to pull away,
02:31well, we could see some further
02:32heavy thundery showers across
02:34eastern areas later on on
02:35Wednesday. So that warning is
02:37enforced for Tuesday night and all
02:38of Wednesday.
02:39Further west, well, again, it's
02:41back to that mixture of sunshine
02:43and showers, but probably not too
02:45many showers over southwest
02:46England, south Wales.
02:48Decent chance of some sunshine
02:49here. And again, look at those
02:50temperatures around or
02:52still below average.
02:54For this time of mid
02:55June.
02:56Looking ahead to Thursday, it
02:58looks a bit drier across eastern
02:59areas. Again, it's basically
03:01sunshine and showers, but most of
03:02the showers on Thursday will be
03:04across Scotland and Northern
03:05Ireland again.
03:06They'll be more scattered across
03:07England and Wales, so a better
03:08chance of, again, seeing some
03:10sunny spells.
03:11And again, that means temperatures
03:12could get into the high teens or
03:14low 20s.
03:15But where we see the frequent
03:16heavy showers across Scotland,
03:18Northern Ireland, temperatures
03:19only 13 or 14 at best
03:21for many.
03:22Now, by the time we get to Friday,
03:24we start to see the influence of
03:26the high pressure trying
03:28to build up from the south.
03:30If this moves in, then that means
03:32drier weather is likely through
03:34Friday and into the weekend.
03:36There is some uncertainty, it has
03:37to be said. But at the moment,
03:39we're not expecting as many
03:40showers, certainly for England and
03:41Wales. Large parts of the day will
03:43be dry. But again, closer to low
03:44pressure, there will still be
03:46showers across Scotland and
03:47Northern Ireland at this stage.
03:49And again, well, for
03:5121st of June, the longest
03:54day, these temperatures are below
03:56average, 14 to maybe 17,
03:5818 Celsius.
03:59Now, don't forget, because the sun
04:00is strong at this time of year, a
04:02bit of sunshine could lift those
04:03temperatures a bit high.
04:04It will feel warmer in the sunny
04:05spells, but no really hot
04:07spell of weather on the way.
04:08In fact, the mornings later this
04:10week look distinctly chilly under
04:11this influence of high pressure,
04:13which controls our weather.
04:14It looks like into the weekend.
04:15So it will, I think, be dominant
04:18into Saturday.
04:18But notice where the fronts aren't
04:20too far away.
04:21So although this high looks like
04:22building in and bringing some fine
04:23weather towards the end of the
04:24week, it may not last all that long
04:26at the moment.
04:27And this is a few days away.
04:29So make sure you stay up to date
04:30with the latest.
04:31The weekend looks like it could
04:32start fine, a bit chilly in the
04:34mornings, but mostly fine on
04:35Saturday with some sunshine.
04:36And then the showers may return
04:38through Sunday and into the early
04:39parts of next week.
04:41That's a long way off, though.
04:41Make sure you stay up to date with
04:43the very latest.
