Hi there, if you're hoping to view the partial solar eclipse this morning, you are in luck
00:05
or not in luck, depending on where you are.
00:09
Very different conditions across the UK.
00:11
We start off with plenty of sunshine, but for Scotland and Northern Ireland it soon
00:15
turns cloudy.
00:17
And by 11am peak eclipse viewing time, with the greatest proportion of the sun obscured
00:24
by the moon, likely across Western Scotland and Northern Ireland, well, it's in these
00:28
locations that we have the greatest probability of cloud cover, thick cloud containing outbreaks
00:34
of rain and a freshening breeze.
00:36
Meanwhile, if you're across much of Wales, away from the far west, as well as much of
00:41
the rest of England, away from the far north-west, and perhaps Cornwall, mostly cloud-free skies
00:46
are expected.
00:47
So, a good chance of viewing the partial solar eclipse in these locations, but of course,
00:52
do please remember to view it safely, never look directly into the sun.
00:56
The eclipse is over by midday and it's at this point that the rain clouds are moving
01:00
into Northern England, much of Wales and eventually parts of Cornwall, the cloud thickening across
01:05
many parts.
01:06
A freshening breeze, and that breeze particularly strong across north-west Scotland where the
01:10
rain is replaced by frequent showers.
01:13
Northern Ireland a bit drier as we end the day, but we keep the best of the sunshine
01:16
into the east midlands, East Anglia and the south-east, temperatures at 14 or 15C, given
01:22
enough sunshine.
01:24
Now the front that I mentioned that's crossing the country tends to weaken, so not much rain
01:28
as it clears through southern parts, although there will be a lot of cloud overnight.
01:32
Then the low, responsible, pulls away into Scandinavia.
01:36
We've got this strong wind overnight, particularly for the north and west initially, and then
01:41
for north sea coast we'll see this brisk wind by the start of Sunday, risk of gales around
01:46
coastal spots, and that coincides with an unusually high tide, there could even be some
01:52
coastal impacts as we begin Sunday across parts of Norfolk for example.
01:57
Now there'll be a lot of cloud around as well, so with the cloud and the breeze, temperatures
02:00
will stay up typically at 7-9C, but it will be a grey start for many, particularly towards
02:05
the south and south-east as that front clears away, giving a few spots of rain here and
02:10
there.
02:11
It is out of the way by mid-morning, the cloud then breaks up very nicely into the afternoon,
02:15
blue skies for the vast majority, a few exceptions, some patchy cloud remaining into the north-east,
02:22
and thickening cloud once again into Northern Ireland, parts of the Western Isles, perhaps
02:26
fringes of Cornwall and Pembrokeshire.
02:29
But for many, actually inland, it is sunny skies, and temperatures rising as the wind
02:35
eases up to 17-18C, feeling very pleasant, mid-teens in the north.
02:41
And that's just the start of it, because we've got high pressure then building into the UK
02:47
on the south for the start of next week.
02:49
That high then sets up shop just to the east of the country, helping to draw up clear skies
02:56
and increased warmth from Tuesday onwards.
02:59
In fact, temperatures will rise by Wednesday, Thursday up into the low 20s.
03:04
So it's going to feel very warm, very nice indeed for the start of April, and we keep
03:09
that fine weather going right the way through the week.
03:11
Bye bye.
