31 July - National weather forecast presented by Alex Deakin
Transcript
00:00Thanks for joining me for this national weather update for big chunks of the
00:04country. Tuesday will be drier than Monday but there is more wet and windy
00:09weather on the way for Wednesday courtesy of this area of low pressure.
00:12It's a blink and you miss it little ridge of high pressure moving in which
00:16will as I say bring many of us a drier day but here comes that next low and the
00:22winds will be picking up as these weather fronts bring cloud and rain in
00:25from the southwest during Tuesday evening and likely to stick around
00:28through Wednesday too. Let's go through the rest of Monday night and Tuesday
00:33first of all however because it's turning drier but it's far from dry we
00:37still got low pressure in control still plenty of outbreaks of rain through
00:40Monday night across Scotland, Northern Ireland, plenty of showers over Northern
00:44England. It's turning drier at least across the south some clearer spells
00:47developing here and some temperatures dropping to about 12 to 14 degrees
00:53Celsius to start Tuesday morning. Now as I said many places will be drier on
00:58Tuesday but it'll still be quite cloudy first thing over northwest England,
01:01North Wales, some outbreaks of rain here, southeastern parts of Scotland and
01:06Northern Ireland too. Now these rainier zones the rain should tend to ease off
01:10as we go through the day a few scattered showers in the southwest but much of
01:13South Wales, southern England will be dry and bright and a good chunk of Scotland
01:17also looking mostly fine through Tuesday so largely dry here some sunny spells
01:22breaking through. Elsewhere I think we'll generally keep a lot of cloud but as I
01:26said not as wet as Monday. More rain now starting to approach into parts of
01:32Cornwall by the end of the afternoon. Temperature wise well still generally
01:37below average for the time of year high teens across the north maybe into the
01:4020s across parts of eastern England where we see a bit of sunshine 22 maybe
01:4423 Celsius is possible but mostly still on the cool side for the time of year
01:48and the wet and windy weather I talked about earlier area of low pressure will
01:52spread into southwest England, South Wales during Tuesday evening and then
01:56kind of pivoting round as it spreads across Northern Ireland, parts of the
02:01Midlands, Northern England. It's a weather front and there's the low
02:04pressure by the start of Wednesday on its southern flank. Some pretty lively
02:08winds getting pretty blustery for the time of year again across the coast of
02:13South Wales, southwest England with further pulses of rain in here. Where
02:17that weather front lies it could be a very soggy day indeed. Exactly where it
02:22sits with that wind coming in from the North Sea pretty grim I would have
02:27thought with persistent rain for much of the day. Something a bit brighter further
02:31south but close to the low pressure any brightness may well spark some heavy
02:35even thundery showers. It does look a little drier across Scotland and perhaps
02:39parts of Northern Ireland come Wednesday afternoon. Notice the winds are coming
02:43down from the north however so bringing that cooler feel particularly if you're
02:46stuck under that rain band with the wind off the North Sea 15-16 degrees. Further
02:51south with a bit of brightness we may again squeak into the 20s but generally
02:55feeling cooler once more especially on the south coast where it will be a
02:58blusterous day. During the course of Wednesday evening that area of low
03:03pressure should tend to head away but the weather is going to remain
03:07changeable throughout the week. For a full week ahead forecast check out our
