00:00
It's the 1st of May and we're going to see the first May bank holiday weekend.
00:05
But is the sunshine here to stay or are we going to see some typical English bank holiday weather?
00:11
Well, what I can tell you is that high pressure is sticking around, this time to the west though,
00:15
rather than the east which has brought us the warm spell over this week.
00:19
But if we follow our winds round in a clockwise direction, it does at times drag in some frontal systems
00:25
across the north and also pushes up a frontal system across parts of the south.
00:29
So a chance here that we could see some showers, potentially some quite heavy showers on Saturday,
00:34
maybe even some thunderstorms.
00:36
And if we continue to track our winds, we can see it brings in this colder air mass later on Saturday and through into Sunday.
00:43
So things are set to cool down, but high pressure still largely dominating, so many areas mostly remaining dry.
00:50
But at times, once again, some frontal systems dragging through across the North Sea.
00:54
So perhaps a few more showers as we head into Monday.
00:57
But the main theme over the next few days is that it's going to be feeling much cooler,
01:02
particularly on Friday, where we start to see those temperatures decline,
01:06
particularly across central and eastern areas in some locations.
01:09
Some areas could see a good 10 degrees difference if you compare the temperatures to 24 hours earlier,
01:15
so Thursday afternoon.
01:16
So it is going to be feeling cooler.
01:18
So let's start off this weekend's weather then with Saturday.
01:22
So a chance we could see some mist and fog, particularly across East Anglia.
01:26
And there is going to be more cloud across Scotland, some showers feeding through across the very north.
01:31
And it's across the southwest where we're going to see more clouds,
01:34
some showers starting to push their way up from the south.
01:36
Now, these could turn quite heavy, particularly through the course of the day,
01:39
and a chance they could turn thundery.
01:41
But it should remain to the very far south, perhaps even not quite moving in inland either,
01:46
as the chance those showers could remain through across the English Channel.
01:49
And that's where the thunderstorms could stick around too.
01:51
But a chance across the far south, we could see some thundery outbreaks.
01:55
But any showers across Scotland largely dying away.
01:58
And we can see that many areas are still going to see a dry start to the weekend.
02:02
Still lots of sunshine around.
02:03
And still feeling warm in the sunshine too for many of us.
02:06
Across the south, highs still reaching around 20 to 21 degrees.
02:10
So still a rather pleasant day ahead.
02:12
But notice the temperatures across the northeast of Scotland.
02:15
Any north sea coasts widely in the mid to low double digits.
02:19
So starting to feel cooler here as we head through Saturday.
02:24
Now, on Sunday, any frontal systems, particularly this one in the south,
02:28
will eventually skirt its way back south, fizzling away.
02:31
And still high pressure dominating, still located to the northwest of the country.
02:36
So on Sunday, once again, still lots of dry weather around.
02:39
But a chance we could see a bit more cloud, particularly in the east.
02:42
And a few showers feeding through across the north sea.
02:45
So any north sea exposed coasts, a chance we could see the odd shower.
02:49
East Anglia as well, in particular, could see more cloud and a few more showers here.
02:53
But in the west, still plenty of sunshine.
02:56
And the large majority of us will still see a largely dry day.
02:59
But take a look at those temperatures.
03:02
Markedly different if you compare it to this week.
03:04
Still some warm weather.
03:06
Highs of 15, 16 degrees across the southwest.
03:09
But many areas in the low double digits.
03:11
So feeling much cooler, particularly in any exposed spots in the breeze.
03:15
So a very different feel for many of us as we head through into Sunday.
03:18
Then we have bank holiday weekend.
03:22
Still, once again, that high pressure remaining to the northwest.
03:25
Still, at times, just dragging in, sweeping in this frontal system across the east.
03:29
But it's a largely weakening feature as it moves its way southward.
03:33
So once again, just some cloud to start.
03:36
Perhaps the odd shower around east Anglia.
03:38
Sussex and Kent might pick up a few showers.
03:40
And overall, there's just going to be a bit more cloud around.
03:43
But many still seeing a dry day ahead.
03:46
Still plenty of sunshine across Scotland, parts of northern England.
03:50
But still, once again, those slightly cooler temperatures.
03:53
Highs only this time reaching around 14 degrees in the south.
03:56
A little bit cooler across the north.
03:57
Highs of 12 to 13 degrees.
04:00
But still lots of dry weather over the weekend.
04:03
It's just not going to be feeling quite as warm.
04:05
But still many opportunities to get the barbecue out for this bank holiday weekend.
04:09
Highs of 12 to 13 degrees.
