00:00Hello and welcome to the Met Office Week Ahead Forecaster.

00:02A little bit of something for everyone this week.

00:05Some dry and bright interludes for those who have started their summer holidays,

00:10but also some useful rain for southern and eastern parts of the UK in particular.

00:15That rain often coming in the form of showers because the jet stream now is to the south of the UK

00:19rather than to the north, so no heatwave this week.

00:22And low pressure is in charge, that low pressure centred over the top of the UK

00:26and likely to bring some longer spells of rain to western Scotland as we start off Tuesday.

00:32Not as heavy as the rain overnight, but still the potential for some persistent wet stuff during the morning.

00:37That tending to become a bit more fragmented into the afternoon,

00:40extending an area of cloud and some outbreaks of rain into southern Scotland and northern England.

00:44Showers then breaking out just about anywhere as temperatures rise.

00:47Some warm sunshine out there, low to mid-20s possible, but those showers where they do occur,

00:52they could be heavy rumbles of thunder possible particularly towards the east.

00:55A similar picture as we start off Wednesday.

00:58Some sunny spells out there, particularly towards the south and the west,

01:02but an area of cloud and rain moves south across northern and central and eastern England,

01:07followed by showers and some heavy downpours at first in the south

01:10before the showers become more focused towards the east.

01:12Similar temperatures to Tuesday.

01:15Then heading into Thursday, a bit of a change arrives as low pressure slowly moves to the east.

01:21A ridge of high pressure extends to the west, so a bit of a west-east contrast on Thursday.

01:28Still some showers or even some longer spells of rain at first in the east of the UK.

01:34Running into the Midlands, east Anglia, and the south-east later in the morning and into the afternoon.

01:39Breaking up into showers, perhaps the odd rumble of thunder during the afternoon.

01:43Warm in the south-east, 25 Celsius.

01:45Further west, it's drier.

01:47Some sunshine coming through, particularly for Wales and the south-west.

01:51But for Scotland and Northern Ireland, we start Friday with a lot of cloud cover.

01:54Outbreaks of rain pushing into western Scotland, Northern Ireland.

01:58Not much rain, mostly light and patchy.

02:01That drizzly stuff also arriving into west Wales and Cornwall by the end of the afternoon.

02:05But ahead of it, it's actually going to be feeling a little bit warmer once again,

02:09with some sunshine in the Midlands, east Anglia, and the south-eastern highs of 27 Celsius.

02:14And that starts a trend back to a north-south contrast as we go into the weekend.

02:21The jet stream now pushing a little bit further north, but not to the north of the UK.

02:26More like running across the north of the UK.

02:30So we're still going to see low-pressure systems influence northern parts of the country,

02:34bringing some rain and some breezy conditions to western Scotland, Northern Ireland,

02:38north-west England, whilst higher pressure this weekend brings more settled weather generally

02:44to southern parts of the country, and feeling a little warmer as a result.

02:49So big differences day-to-day and from place-to-place this week.

02:54But as I say, a bit of something for everyone.

02:56Some rain, but also some sunshine at times.

02:58Some rain, but some rain are empty on the river.

03:14This is the home of the UK, it's also a snow day.

03:20Clear butter.

03:21Come on.

03:23I know, we know what to do now.

03:25But, I'll say really nice.
