27th April - National weather forecast

Transcript

00:00Hi there. A lot less sunshine for most of us compared to what we've experienced so far

00:05this April. Largely cloudy skies and showers for many. In fact, more persistent damp weather

00:11into parts of eastern Scotland, north-east England as well on this cold easterly breeze.

00:17Otherwise, the further west and south you go, the brighter it will be, albeit rather

00:21cloudy. The best of any sunny spells and dry weather, the far south and south-east, the

00:26far north-west of Scotland as well. A brisk wind here making it feel on the cool side

00:31but in the south-east still possible to get 16 or 17 Celsius given the sunshine and light

00:37winds here. But feeling notably cold for north-east Scotland, 6 or 7 degrees in places as well

00:45as for parts of north-east England into the single figures. And the persistent damp weather,

00:50the low cloud as well along that north sea coast continues for a time through the evening

00:54but increasingly the focus for rain and thick cloud shifts south-westwards overnight with

01:01some heavy and prolonged rainfall turning up across parts of Wales and towards the south-west.

01:07Clearing skies for many northern areas and so a touch of frost in places here but mostly

01:13I think given the cloud and the breeze it will be a frost-free night. It will be chilly

01:18though in any of these clearer spots, east Anglia and the south-east and towards the

01:22north-west. We've got this fairly chilly north-easterly flow through Wednesday but

01:28the focus for wet weather really in this area here where it's bounded by the occlusion and

01:35across parts of Wales and the south-west there will be some heavy rain about during the morning

01:40and it will get going a bit more into the afternoon. A mixture of showers and longer

01:44spells of rain I think for parts of central, southern and south-west England as well as

01:49parts of Wales especially towards the south-east of Wales and in some places around this area

01:5410-20mm or perhaps more. Useful rainfall of course but highly variable amounts and where

02:01it's raining all day it's not going to feel very pleasant at all. Further south-east actually

02:07mainly dry and sunny for east Anglia and the far south-east and a brighter day to come

02:11I think for Scotland, northern Ireland and parts of northern England with a mixture of

02:15sunny spells and scattered showers, the showers mostly towards the east. 9-11C in the north

02:21still on the cool side, still the potential for 16-17C in the far south-east given some

02:28sunshine and light winds but where we've got the persistent rain in places, single figures

02:33at best I think. And that persistent rain continues into the evening across parts of

02:39Wales, south-west and southern England. Otherwise clear skies in the north and scattering of

02:45showers, snow over the tops of the Grampians and frost fairly widely in the north by the

02:52start of Thursday. Follow us on social media, of course we'll keep you updated with all

02:57the latest. Bye bye.
