Hello and welcome to your week ahead brought to you by the Met Affairs.
00:04
Well it's a messy end to May, there will be some well needed rainfall but some drier interludes
00:10
for those who are off on their half term. Now let's have a look at the bigger picture because
00:16
we've got a fairly active jet stream and that's just going to be throwing areas of low pressure
00:21
our way as we go through the week but in between these areas there will be some ridges of high
00:26
pressure just helping to settle things down especially midweek. Now let's take a look at
00:32
the closer detail then so we've had this area of low pressure through the rest of Bank Holiday Monday
00:38
that will clear its way through and then replaced by another area of low pressure through Tuesday.
00:45
So it's going to be a bright and dry start for many of us on Tuesday morning there will be some showers
00:50
still across Scotland but then it's going to be turning wet and windy from the south west with
00:56
heavy spells of rain pushing into much of Wales, south west England, northern England and then
01:01
eventually into the Midlands and the south east perhaps drying up a little bit across Northern
01:07
Ireland. For Scotland though plenty of sunny spells there will be a few showers around and it's still
01:12
going to be quite breezy here as well otherwise in terms of temperatures ranging from 16 to highs of
01:19
17 degrees but probably feeling quite unpleasant underneath these longer spells of rain. Now the rain will be
01:26
heaviest over the hills especially for the Moors, Exmoor, Dartmoor and the South Pennines but like I say
01:31
it is some well needed rainfall. Now that system clears its way through Tuesday night and once that
01:38
does we'll actually see a bit of a ridge of high pressure developing by midweek so if you have got any
01:44
outdoor plans probably the better day of the week ahead. So a bit of a cloudy start in places we've got some
01:51
outbreaks of rain but otherwise for most it's a case of sunny spells and further showers developing.
01:57
Not everywhere we'll see those showers and we'll actually see temperatures rising up to 20 possibly
02:03
21 degrees across the south and west. So now as we go through Wednesday and into Thursday that ridge clears
02:12
and then we have another area of low pressure moving in we have got a squeeze in the isobars as well
02:18
indicating some stronger winds. So turning more unsettled on Thursday with further spells of rain
02:24
this time more shifted towards the north across Northern Ireland into Scotland where it could turn
02:30
quite heavy at times. Elsewhere often cloudy but there will be some patchy drizzle just on and off
02:37
otherwise a windy day but actually feeling quite muggy we'll see highs of up to 21 or 22.
02:44
So then as we go into Friday well a bit of a messy picture on Friday we've got this area of low
02:50
pressure towards the north and this cold front and then another area of low pressure coming in from
02:56
the south. So like I said a bit of a messy picture out there we'll see showers or longer spells of rain
03:02
across Scotland and then further outbreaks of rain across Northern Ireland and pushing into northern parts
03:08
of England but across the south really that's where we hold on to the driest weather this week
03:13
and we'll actually see temperatures climbing so in the sunshine feeling warmer here we could see highs
03:19
of 23 degrees. So as we go through the weekend a bit of a mixed picture but make sure to hit subscribe
03:27
so you don't miss any details of that and I'll see you very soon. Bye bye.
