20 July - national forecast presented by Thomas Morgan

Transcript

00:00Hello there. There's not much change in the weather day-to-day at the moment, is there?

00:04Quite unsettled and showery sums it up for the next few days as well.

00:08And we do have quite a number of warnings for rain and thunderstorms in place both today

00:12and indeed on Monday as well. So do check out Apple, our website, for further details where you live.

00:16We could see some intense downpours and some surface water flooding on the roads at times.

00:21That's the case for this afternoon as well. So bands of showers spreading their way northwards

00:25across the UK. Some heavy downpours and thunderstorms in places too as well.

00:30Perhaps the wettest conditions across parts of northern England by the end of the afternoon.

00:34But really, wherever you are, you are likely to see at least some rain or thunderstorms at times.

00:39In any sunshine though, it should actually feel quite warm and humid.

00:42Temperatures are a little bit above average for the time of year.

00:44So highs in the mid-20s for many of us. Not quite as warm across the northeast of Scotland

00:48with quite a lot of low cloud and sea harm moving in here, keeping temperatures in the high teens in general.

00:53And there will be some gusty winds at times in some of those showers. So do keep an eye out for those.

00:57As we go into this evening, it stays pretty unsettled. So further showers and thunderstorms

01:03across many parts of the UK. In particular, we're keeping a close eye on parts of Northern

01:08Ireland, southern Scotland and the far northwest of England, where we could see some longer spells

01:12of heavy rain. That could lead to some surface water flooding on the roads by the end of the

01:16night as well. And again, across the southeast of the UK, that's where we like to see an increasing

01:21number of heavy showers, thunderstorms and hail as well by the end of the night.

01:26But it's not going to be a cold night, even where we see skies clear. Temperatures are

01:30like to stay in the mid-teen Celsius, but not quite as humid as it has been of late.

01:36So as we begin the new working week, it's still pretty unsettled for most of us.

01:40A very wet morning commute to work across parts of Northern Ireland, southern Scotland as well.

01:45So some particularly heavy rain here. And that band of rain stretches down into parts of Wales

01:50and the southwest of England as well, tending to become a little bit lighter perhaps by the

01:54afternoon. The focus of the heavy showers and thunderstorms on Monday will probably be more

01:59towards the east. So central parts of the UK, the Midlands, northeast England, parts of East Anger

02:04and the southeast. That's where we like to see the most intense thunderstorms, some hail,

02:08some gusty winds, some frequent lightning perhaps here in places, but also some sunny spells

02:12mixed in there as well. Again, where you do see the sunshine on Monday, it's not going

02:16to feel cold. It's actually going to feel pretty warm and humid. Temperatures in the

02:20mid-20s once again, a little bit cooler and fresher out towards the west with those winds

02:24starting to come in from more of a northwest-y direction. Not a lot of changes as we go through

02:30Monday evening either. The rain still pretty heavy across parts of western Scotland, perhaps

02:34the Isle of Man and parts of Northern Ireland as well. But elsewhere, the showers will

02:38slowly tend to fade away. So there's a lot of weather going on over the next 24 to

02:4236 hours or so. So do make sure you subscribe to our YouTube channel so that you never miss

02:47an update and also look at our app and our website for the latest on the warnings. I'll

02:51see you again very soon.
