00:00Welcome to your forecast for the final week of October from the Met Office.
00:04And if you're watching on YouTube, well, don't forget to hit subscribe.
00:07After a fairly wild start to the week, things will be switching around quite dramatically.
00:11By the end of the week, it's looking a lot calmer, the winds will be lighter,
00:14and we'll have bigger problems with mist and fog rather than wet and windy weather.
00:20But to start the week, well, he's saying goodbye to Storm Bulow.
00:23There is another area of low pressure, and look at the number of isobars across the chart.
00:27Still very blustery on Monday night and indeed for much of Tuesday.
00:31But if we fast forward to Friday, we'll see a big switcheroo.
00:35High pressure is now controlling things.
00:37The isobars much more spaced out, and the winds as a result will be quite a bit lighter.
00:42So that's the end of the week.
00:44But certainly to begin with, we've got this area of low pressure and these weather fronts sweeping in,
00:49bringing some really wild conditions through Monday night and Tuesday.
00:53Met Office yellow warnings remain in place.
00:55This weather front, an active cold front swinging across the country,
00:59bringing some heavy downpours in the morning across Lincolnshire, down towards Hampshire,
01:04and that spell of rain will zip through quite quickly through the morning rush hour,
01:08but generate quite a lot of spray and surface water.
01:11Gusty winds everywhere, but particularly on the north coast of Northern Ireland
01:14and across Scotland with the strongest winds through Tuesday across the far north.
01:19Gusts here likely to reach 60, 70 miles an hour, and after the recent storms,
01:24well, it could cause a few issues.
01:26So we do have that yellow warning in place, covering, as I say, much of Scotland,
01:29the north coast of Northern Ireland.
01:31Further south, it'll still be quite a boisterous day, blustery, gusty.
01:35We start with that early rain.
01:36It turns sunny, but a whole host of showers come whizzing in on that gusty wind.
01:41They should zip through because of the strength of the wind.
01:43And when the sun's out, temperatures getting up to about average, maybe a touch above along the south coast,
01:48but generally feeling quite cool, I suspect, in those winds across Scotland
01:51with the frequent showers here and the gusty nature of those winds,
01:55which take a while to ease down the warning in place into Tuesday evening
01:59before the low finally pulls away.
02:01High pressures trying to build in at this stage, but still for Wednesday,
02:05weather fronts and still quite a few isobars, certainly across the northern half of the UK.
02:09Another pretty breezy day, another fairly cloudy start with some outbreaks of rain.
02:14Shouldn't be too heavy.
02:15Much of southern England, eastern England looking dry and bright for most of Wednesday as well.
02:21Some sunny spells lifting those temperatures.
02:22Again, a touch above average for the latter part of October, getting to 16 or 17 Celsius.
02:28Probably a milder feeling day, certainly for Scotland and Northern Ireland,
02:32northern England with those winds a little bit lighter.
02:34But there will be some showers around here throughout Wednesday.
02:38It's really Wednesday night into Thursday that high pressure starts to establish itself.
02:43The isobars spread apart, meaning the winds fall light.
02:45And of course, at this time of year, the light winds and after all the moisture we've seen
02:50from the stormy weather recently, well, that could spell misty, foggy mornings.
02:55And that fog may take a while to clear.
02:58So light winds for most, particularly across the central and eastern areas,
03:01close to the centre of the high.
03:02Still a bit of a breeze in the west.
03:03You might see one or two light showers moving through.
03:06Most places will be dry.
03:08Well, great news, of course, across the south.
03:09We still need the rain here.
03:11Temperature wise, well, if the fog sticks for much of the morning,
03:15we may struggle to get these values.
03:17But where it does brighten up, we should again climb into the teens.
03:20Not a great deal of change by the time we get to Friday.
03:23High pressure well and truly ensconced across the east.
03:26But weather front is just trying to nudge in.
03:28A bit of uncertainty on the timing of this and when it will bring cloud and some rain into western
03:33Scotland
03:34or perhaps northern Ireland during Friday.
03:36So it could turn wet again here.
03:38Again, for most of England and Wales, it looks dry.
03:40Should be some sunny spells around.
03:42But again, close to the centre of the high, central and eastern England.
03:46Some stubborn fog patches which could linger for a good few hours, certainly through the morning.
03:51By the afternoon, though, should be brightening up with sunny spells and light winds.
03:55Again, those temperatures, 13 to 15, maybe 16 Celsius along the south coast.
03:59That weather front then likely to generate a bit of a north-south split as we go into the weekend.
04:05The Saturday, of course, Halloween.
04:07This weather front may provide some outbreaks of rain across northern Britain for Saturday night.
04:12Meanwhile, the high pressure is still controlling things across the south.
04:15Potential for things to be a bit misty and a bit murky for Halloween.
04:19So that might add to the atmosphere a little bit.
04:22If you do have plans for Saturday night, then keep up to date with the forecast as we go through
04:26this week.
04:27As I said at the start, best way to do that, if you're watching on YouTube, just hit subscribe.
