00:00Hello there and welcome to this week's 10 day trend and I'll be honest with you this
00:0410 day forecast is a little bit more tricky than usual because as we head further into
00:09our period the weather in the UK very much depends on what happens over into the Atlantic.
00:14But for the time being hot temperatures and also some possible thundery showers is definitely
00:20the name of the game. Taking a look at our bigger picture we've got low pressure out
00:24to the west, high pressure towards mainland Europe and this brings in a southerly flow
00:28so we'll continue to see those warm if not locally hot temperatures but where we'll
00:32see them will change day by day and at times where we see low pressure to the west this
00:37will drag in some frontal systems and we could see some more cloud possible thundery showers
00:41too and by the time we get to the weekend high pressure largely dominating the weather but
00:47notice it's just sat towards the northeast of the country still that means we're dragging
00:52in that south to south easterly flow so once again some quite warm temperatures building
00:56particularly across the southwest but across eastern areas with a slightly more easterly
01:01flow of wind that could also pick up some moisture from the North Sea and bring in some cloud and
01:06possibly some quite disappointing mornings over the weekend.
01:11Then later on into Saturday through into Sunday once again that low pressure still out to the
01:16west bringing in those frontal systems still dragging in that heat from the south and with that warm
01:22humid air that does lead us to a risk of thundery showers.
01:26Then after that a little bit of a question mark we'll go through that in a moment for the
01:29time being though let's start off with Thursday.
01:33Now thundery showers particularly across Scotland, Northern Ireland, possibly northern parts of England
01:38there is a yellow Met Office warning issued here so some quite frequent lightning, large hail,
01:43some gusty winds possible in these areas particularly across the northeast of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
01:48And a chance we could see some thundery showers towards the start of the day across the southeast
01:52but these should mostly ease away and many of us should mostly see a dry and bright day.
01:58Another quite warm if not locally hot day notice temperatures are down by a degree or two compared
02:03to what we've seen today highs now just reaching around 29 degrees Celsius but I wouldn't be surprised
02:07if we some localized spots just push up into 30 degrees once again but particularly central areas
02:13eastern, southeastern parts of England that's where we'll see the peak of the heat but even across the north
02:17we're still going to see temperatures in the mid-twenties but obviously there the risk we could
02:21see some thundery showers.
02:24Another mild and muggy night to come so it is going to be quite a warm start to the day
02:29and plenty of cloud across the far north too.
02:32This once again possibly producing some showers but they're unlikely to be quite as intense as
02:36what we could possibly see on Thursday.
02:39Once again a large portion of England and Wales seeing all toward blue skies for most of the
02:43the day and plenty of sunshine temperatures starting to increase once more highs reaching
02:47around 31 degrees Celsius in the London air but widely in the mid to high twenties elsewhere.
02:54But once again across Scotland Northern Ireland starting to see a slight change in those temperatures
02:57something a little cooler highs reaching around 21 to 22 Celsius so it's not going to be cold
03:02but it's certainly going to be a little cooler than what we've had earlier in the week.
03:06So as we take a look at temperatures into a bit more detail we can see today on Wednesday
03:13the highest of the temperatures have been quite widespread across the country.
03:16This is temperatures compared to average.
03:19Now notice as we head further into Thursday the peak of those temperatures are likely to
03:22be towards the northeast of Scotland, eastern areas of England, parts of the southeast and
03:28then moving into Friday we see a bit of a flip on where we see the peak of those temperatures
03:32where actually north eastern parts of Scotland, north eastern parts of England will see temperatures
03:36more towards average for the time of year but once again we'll start to see that peak of the
03:41heat across parts of the south and southwest and that's where we'll start to see those temperatures
03:45increase day by day possibly leading to another localized heat wave across the southwest.
03:50That's definitely one to watch over the coming days and that's still because we see high
03:54pressure slowly shifting its way to the northeast will continue with that southerly flow dragging up
03:59that warm air from continental Europe but as I already mentioned that too means we could pick
04:05up some low cloud from the north sea so eastern areas through Saturday morning are going to see
04:09a fair amount of cloud now it will tend to lift and break and we'll certainly see some sunny spells
04:14by the afternoon where we see the warmest of temperatures but for some that cloud may linger
04:19on just for a little bit longer than perhaps hoped for the best of the brightness is certainly going
04:23to be in the west northern Ireland parts of Wales and parts of Devon and Cornwall once again
04:28that's where we're going to see the best of the temperatures highs reaching around 29 degrees
04:32celsius this time in the southwest take a look at those temperatures in eastern areas though much cooler
04:38than earlier in the week more towards the low 20s and that's just where we're going to see that cloud
04:43linger on for a bit of a little bit longer but for some I know not everyone's a fan of the heat
04:48so for some it will be a nice little brief respite for the time being and then Sunday once again fairly
04:54similar picture that low cloud lingering in eastern areas trying to lift and break
04:58through the course of the morning then we do just need to keep an eye on this area just pushing
05:03through into the southwest some thick areas of cloud across Devon and Cornwall perhaps parts of
05:08Wales and a chance this could bring some showers these possibly turning heavy and thundery
05:13what you'll also notice later Saturday through into Sunday as well as we start to find our way
05:18on the edge of that high that things will start to turn a little blustery too a little bit breezier
05:22particularly as we head into the afternoon especially if you catch one of those heavy
05:26thundery showers some quite strong gusty winds at times certainly possible highs still reaching
05:32around 27 to 28 degrees celsius and those slightly cooler temperatures still once again where we find
05:38that cloud lingering around eastern coasts let's take a look once again how this compares to average and
05:43where we see the shift of those highest temperatures so for Saturday southern parts of Wales southwestern
05:50parts of England western areas of Scotland northern Ireland seeing the peak of the temperatures it
05:54becomes a little bit more widespread a little bit more eastwards we'll see those higher temperatures
05:59into Sunday central areas of England for example we'll start to see a slightly warmer day on Sunday
06:05and it's really those eastern areas that see those temperatures more towards average for the time of
06:09year but on Monday some areas will start to creep up slightly so for the weekend as a whole then the
06:17sunniest and the warmest of the weather most of the time is going to be in the west a little cloudier in
06:22the north and east and in some areas that cloud could linger through much of the day and in the southwest
06:28starting to turn that little bit breezier some gusts at times and a chance we could see some of those
06:33heavy thundery showers keep an eye on the forecast for that one then after that i'm afraid this is when it
06:39starts to get a little bit tricky and it's all down to what's happening across into the
06:43Atlantic where we currently have tropical storm Erin moving its way towards the states and it's not
06:50untypical for this time of year to get some areas of areas of low pressure getting picked up by our
06:55jet stream we've had storm florist for example ex-tropical storm dexter but it very much depends on
07:01whereabouts they sit towards the jet stream if they sit on the cooler side or if they sit to the south in the warmer
07:08side for example storm florist did sit to the cooler side and it brought some wet and windy weather
07:13to parts of the uk but actually ex-tropical storm dexter it stayed it generally became a filling
07:19feature and it stayed out to the west and that's actually one of the reasons why we've seen
07:22our heat increase over the coming days it brought in that southerly flow and we dragged in the heat
07:27from the near continent so let's take a look at the track of tropical storm Erin as we head into next
07:33week it'll eventually become ex-tropical storm and then we just need to see whether it is going to
07:38impact us here in the uk now the pink colors here there's a couple of trajectories this is from the
07:43america model that actually pushes this storm the center of the storm more towards florida but you can
07:48see the bulk of the models green being our global model that we use here at the met office the blue
07:53colors the european model and most of them swing it round northeastwards around the eastern seaboard
08:00but still it really depends whereabouts it's going to sit around our jet stream as we head later into
08:06the week from monday onwards though it's highly likely that we'll still see a fairly similar pattern
08:11as to what we'll have over the weekend so high pressure sat out to the west this is only a 26
08:17chance so it's likely that high pressure will be slightly situated more towards the country so we'll
08:21continue to see those warm plumes of air across parts of the south but with that we'll start to see
08:27something a little bit more unsettled cloud thundery showers and they'll likely drift their way north
08:31eastwards through the course of the day and then from tuesday onwards that really is when it becomes
08:36tricky to forecast so early next week the influence of high pressure will eventually start to wane we'll
08:42see increasingly showery conditions from the southwest drifting their way north eastwards but
08:47nevertheless the temperatures are still going to be above average so where you do see any sunshine it is
08:52still going to feel mostly warm and pleasant now it's towards the end of the week where we need
08:57to keep an eye on tropical storm erin now of course what we do here at the met office we look at multiple
09:03models and we run those models multiple times this is our european model for example where we slightly
09:08change the initial conditions each time each time that it's been run and it does certainly give us a
09:14range of solutions one of which is member 21 that shows quite a deep area of low pressure towards the west
09:20that will bring some quite wet and windy conditions possibly similar to what we saw with storm floris
09:26but then we take a look at member 2 and actually that builds a ridge of high pressure and we'll
09:29probably continue to see quite settled and warm conditions so it's really tricky to forecast towards
09:35the end of the 10-day period so if you do want more details as we head further into the forecast we'll
