Transcript
00:00Hello there, welcome to your Wednesday evening weather update from the Met Office.
00:04Thunderstorm warnings have been issued across the West Country, Wales as well as Northern
00:08Ireland through tonight and into tomorrow.
00:11The reason why?
00:12Well the air is coming in from a very warm and humid place across the near continent.
00:17Notice through Thursday quite a squeeze on the ice bars so we will see some strong winds
00:21particularly towards the east and associated with any intense downpours as this system
00:26slowly moves its way northwards.
00:28Water come through Friday and into Saturday.
00:31This time the emphasis will be across central and eastern parts of England again pushing
00:35ever northwards.
00:36Let's have a look at the warning zones though into tomorrow.
00:40The West Country and Wales particularly central and western areas as well as Northern Ireland
00:45and you can see the intense burst just moving northwards represented by these very bright
00:51echoes.
00:52Further thunderstorms are likely to expect some lightning gusts up to 50mph in places heavy
00:58downpours causing impacts particularly if you're driving.
01:01However, through this evening it's pleasant enough, it's warm outside.
01:05Quite a breeze along this east coast, some hazy sunshine to end the day.
01:09But notice these showers developing across Cornwall as well as Devon and then Somerset.
01:15They'll clip the southwest of Wales into the early hours of tomorrow morning and more
01:20waiting in the wings across the Channel Isles.
01:22All of this is moving northwards, particularly across the western side of the country.
01:26But you'll find some showery bursts just across central southern England as well.
01:31And here it's going to be a muggy night, an uncomfortable night for many.
01:34Further north, temperatures holding at 14 or 15 degrees Celsius as well.
01:39So first thing tomorrow morning, for most, it's a dry start.
01:42It's a humid one with some hazy sunshine.
01:46This massive thundery rain continues its passage northwards across Northern Ireland, Wales,
01:51the Isle of Man and then further clusters of showers, which will be thundery, will again
01:57extend across England and Wales towards southern Scotland.
02:00Here, they'll be fairly hit and miss with some sunshine in between.
02:04But notice now and again that rain does become more intense and persistent with the risk of
02:11some lightning strikes as well as hail.
02:13Temperatures then 22 towards the north there, 27 across the southeast and hotter still on Friday.
02:21So through Thursday evening, we watch as this first area of thundery rain continues pushing
02:26northwards. Again, strong winds towards the northeast of Scotland and then further
02:30showery bursts arrive towards the southwest. Again, they could turn thundery in places.
02:36Into Friday, a fine start across central and eastern areas, again with some sunshine.
02:40Northern Ireland getting away with some fine weather to start the day, but there will be
02:44some showers in the mix and they could be heavy.
02:46Now, through the morning into the afternoon, this first batch moves northwards and then notice
02:51these are developing towards the south, causing problems later on Friday and into
02:56Friday night. Here's your yellow warning for thunderstorms across East Anglia as well
02:59as the southeast. And look at these temperatures coming in around 29, if not 30, just north of
03:05London. 24 for North Wales as well as the northwest of England. Northern England also seeing that 24
03:10towards the northeast. 23 across the central belt of Scotland, humid here. 20 to 21 across Northern
03:17Ireland. And even for the Murray Firth, you'll see values coming in the low 20s.
03:23So that's the picture through Friday afternoon. Yes, it's going to be a hot and humid day for some.
03:28And let's pick up on what's happening as we head through the next 48 hours or so.
03:33So that first cluster moves northwards. And then as we head through Friday and into the evening time,
03:39more thunderstorms develop with the risk of thunder, lightning, hail and strong winds.
03:43They're again just moving northwards. But notice it's quite extensive band.
03:47It will clip Northern England as well as Scotland into Saturday as they push towards the far north.
03:52Further thunderstorms elsewhere, but turning a little better towards the south with a scattering
03:58of showers, a bit of a blusky breeze and some sunshine. And certainly you'll notice the difference
04:02on Sunday. The winds coming in from the west this time. So temperatures around 19 to 22 Celsius.
04:08And again, some showers in the mix. Now for the 10 day trend this week, check out our YouTube channel.
04:14This week it's with Ada McGillan. I'll see you later.
