00:00
Sunny spells, gusty winds, heavy rain, even some thundery downpours.
00:05
Not everywhere we'll see all of this, but there is a lot going on today
00:09
because we have an area of low pressure dominating our weather.
00:13
As well as this, there's another low just to the west-southwest of us
00:16
and this is actually the remnants of what was Hurricane Kirk.
00:20
It's now come across the Atlantic, lost its hurricane status,
00:23
but it is still quite a potent feature and it is going to bring some very wet and windy weather,
00:28
particularly to France, but also other parts of Central Europe through the next few days,
00:32
which is why it's actually been named Storm Kirk by the French Met Service.
00:36
But for the UK, it's this area of low pressure bringing the fairly unsettled day ahead.
00:41
There will be some persistent rain across parts of northern England into southern Scotland
00:45
and perhaps Northern Ireland too.
00:47
Elsewhere, quite a lot of showers around and some of these showers will be heavy and they will be thundery.
00:52
Yes, some sunny spells in between the downpours, but these downpours could cause some issues,
00:57
especially towards central-southern-eastern parts of England.
01:02
Here we do have a warning out, potential for 20-30mm of rain in just a few hours
01:08
and perhaps more than that building up through the whole day.
01:11
As well as the rain, watch out for some gusty winds with the downpours,
01:14
even some large hail and frequent lightning and so some disruption is quite possible.
01:19
Nonetheless, across southern parts it's relatively mild or even warm,
01:23
especially in any sunny spells.
01:25
Temperatures getting into the high teens, a bit fresher than this further north.
01:28
And worth bearing in mind, there are some strong winds across northern parts of Scotland,
01:32
also some strong gusty winds towards the southwest as well.
01:36
And so these will make it feel a bit fresher, a bit cooler than these temperatures may suggest.
01:40
As we go through the evening, still some heavy thundery downpours
01:43
across many parts of England and Wales in particular.
01:46
The more persistent rain across parts of northern England does continue
01:50
and edges into more parts of Scotland.
01:52
Northern Scotland also having a pretty damp, wet picture as we go overnight.
01:56
Elsewhere, there will be some drier, perhaps even clearer weather around.
02:00
But for most, it is generally going to be a mild night.
02:03
Temperatures generally holding up in double figures.
02:06
Perhaps a bit cooler, a bit chillier than this further north.
02:08
Some places perhaps getting into mid-single digits.
02:12
As we go through Wednesday then, a wet start across eastern parts of Scotland,
02:15
some parts of northeast England as well.
02:17
The rain will continue for a time but should eventually break up and clear away.
02:21
Otherwise, there will again be some showers around.
02:24
They could be a bit on the heavy side.
02:26
Some rumbles of thunder are possible but they're not looking as frequent,
02:30
as intense as the showers that we're going to see through the rest of today.
02:33
So I'm not expecting a repeat of the impacts that we could be seeing through this afternoon.
02:38
And there will be some sunny spells around.
02:41
And with that then, again, temperatures not doing too badly.
02:44
Mid, possibly high teens towards the south.
02:46
But further north, starting to turn a bit colder
02:49
because we do then have a northerly flow that's going to be plunging its way down.
02:53
The showers will be easing a little bit as we go through the end of Wednesday
02:57
and overnight into Thursday.
02:59
Both the low pressure across the UK and what is Storm Kirk clearing away towards the east.
03:04
And as they do so, they then do allow for this cold Arctic air to make its way in across the UK.
03:10
So we are going to see temperatures plummeting as we go towards the end of the week.
03:14
Now, looking across the other side of the Atlantic,
03:17
I wanted to mention major Hurricane Milton is currently fluctuating
03:21
between being a Category 4 or Category 5.
03:24
And it is going to bring some devastating conditions, particularly to parts of Florida,
03:28
as we go through Wednesday into Thursday.
03:31
It is really causing some major issues as we go through the next few days.
03:35
We will, of course, be keeping you up to date with the drop in our temperatures
03:39
and also what's happening with Hurricane Milton.
03:41
You can find all the details about this in our deep dive,
03:45
which will have a slightly new look with Aidan later on this afternoon on our YouTube channel.
03:50
I'll see you again soon. Bye-bye.
