Hopefully you're not tiring of the sunshine, the blue skies, because there is plenty more
00:05
to come as we go through, well, much of this week.
00:09
High pressure firmly in control, it does shift around a little bit as a result, our wind
00:13
direction changes and how much moisture, how much cloud we're going to see will alter a
00:18
little bit.
00:19
But on the whole, high pressure is the story this week, and so there is going to be lots
00:23
of fine settled weather.
00:24
And that's the picture that we have through Monday afternoon, barely a cloud in the sky
00:28
for most of us, albeit a little bit of cloud out towards the North Sea and across the far
00:33
north of Scotland, Orkney and Shetland having a bit of cloud here.
00:36
Otherwise, plenty of sunshine and slightly lighter winds than we saw over the weekend.
00:41
There was a bit of a nagging breeze for a few places, albeit across some eastern and
00:46
southern coastal parts, a bit of a breeze here.
00:48
And so that's going to make it feel a touch cooler for some places.
00:51
But further west, that's where we're going to see the highest temperatures peaking mid
00:55
teens for most of us, highs of around 17 or 18 Celsius, perhaps feeling pretty warm
01:01
indeed.
01:02
It is worth bearing in mind, though, the sun does have some decent strength behind it now,
01:06
generally moderate UV levels.
01:07
So do take care if you're going to be out in the sunshine for any prolonged periods
01:11
of time.
01:12
After a sunny day, we have then a largely clear evening and mostly clear night.
01:17
Still some cloud, though, for the far north of Scotland, and there will be some low clouds
01:22
and mist and fog patches pushing into areas around the Humber and even elsewhere.
01:26
With the clear skies, light winds, a few pockets of mist and fog are quite possible.
01:31
And with that, we are going to see temperatures turning a little bit on the chilly side, dropping
01:36
low single figures in quite a few places, could even be a touch of frost in some prone
01:41
rural spots.
01:42
So a chilly start to the day on Tuesday for most.
01:45
And with that, there's also likely to be a zone of cloud developing somewhere to the
01:49
south of London, similar to what we saw through this morning, a Surrey sausage, if you will.
01:54
But that shouldn't last particularly long.
01:55
That will clear away, as will most of the mist and fog patches that will have developed
02:00
overnight, albeit some around perhaps southeast Scotland, northeast England may linger for
02:04
a little while through the day.
02:06
Generally, I think there will again be lots of sunshine, lots of blue skies on offer as
02:11
we go through tomorrow, but perhaps the sunshine a little bit hazier, a bit more high level
02:15
cloud around and actually across some parts of East Anglia, Lincolnshire, a bit more cloud
02:20
in general.
02:21
But still, it is going to be a pretty fine picture and actually temperatures are going
02:26
to be a little bit higher than today.
02:28
Towards the west is where we're again going to see the highest temperatures, highs around
02:32
18, 19 Celsius, perhaps in the east where we get the cloud, it will feel a little bit
02:37
cooler, but nonetheless feeling pretty warm in that spring sunshine.
02:42
As we go towards the end of the week, we are sticking with high pressure and so that
02:46
means we're going to continue to see some pretty warm days.
02:49
Like I said at the start, though, the high pressure shifts around a little bit, our wind
02:52
direction changes and so where we see the highest temperatures, that will shift a little
02:56
bit.
02:57
In fact, across some eastern parts of Scotland between Wednesday and Thursday, temperatures
03:01
are going to jump quite markedly.
03:04
But with the high pressure, the clear skies, we're going to still have some relatively
03:08
cool nights.
03:09
For the time being, towards the end of the week, signs of some rain pushing its way in
03:14
from the north-northwest, but we'll firm up on the details for that nearer the time.
03:18
If you want to know a bit more about what the weather is going to be doing through this
03:22
week, check out our week ahead forecast with Honour, which will be available on our YouTube
03:25
channel later on this afternoon.
03:27
Otherwise, I'll see you again soon.
03:28
Bye bye.
