00:00Welcome to this 14-day outlook that takes us through the last week of January and

00:05into the first week of February. The weather patterns should be shifting in

00:09that time as well. We've certainly seen some very lively weather of late, a very

00:12active jet stream, the winds high up in the sky have been driving angry areas of

00:17low pressure. We are saying goodbye though to Storm Eowyn through this

00:21weekend but the jet remains lively and further low-pressure systems will bring

00:25further spells of wet and windy weather during Sunday and into Monday. In fact

00:29the weather remains pretty unsettled for the first half of next week with

00:34further low-pressure systems bringing say further spells of wet and windy

00:38weather at times keeping things relatively mild but also as I said

00:42fairly disturbed. We are going to see a change though through the middle part of

00:46next week. The most likely pressure patterns for Thursday the 30th of

00:51January are dominated by high pressure. Whether that high is building in from

00:54the southwest or from the southeast generally that does mean the weather

00:59will be turning drier through the second half of next week. Still across northern

01:05areas we'll see some fairly strong winds and that's how we go into the following

01:09weekend as well. For Friday, Saturday and Sunday the most likely weather patterns

01:1330-40% chance that this will be the setup with high pressure across the

01:17south, temperatures around or a little above average particularly in the north.

01:20Notice still quite windy across the north as well but with high pressure

01:24moving in from the south that promises much more dry weather a lot calmer

01:29conditions as well. It will remain more changeable further north with showers at

01:34times and certainly the first half of next week looks very lively indeed with

01:38further spells of wet and windy weather to come but it does turn a little drier

01:42as we head towards the final few days of January and the first part of February.

01:48What about that first full week of February? Well it looks like the pressure

01:52is going to remain high close to the south. This is the pressure anomaly for

01:56the whole week showing a stronger likelihood of higher pressure near to

02:01the south and east of the UK. Low pressures staying further to the north

02:06and the west. This is averaged over the whole week but generally a pretty strong

02:11signal there that the pressure will remain higher than average across the

02:14south and east bringing drier than average weather. The winds will be pretty

02:19light they often are under an area of high pressure and that does mean in the

02:23winter months we could see some fog and the likelihood of morning frosts. Further

02:27north closer to those low pressure systems the weather is likely to remain

02:31very changeable. There will be some dry and fine weather some decent spells of

02:36bright sunshine and temperatures around average could be quite blustery at times

02:40here as well. That's as we go through say the first working week of the first

02:46full working week of February. As always day-to-day variations will occur so make

02:51sure you stay up to date with the very latest. Best way to do that of course is
