16 July - National weather forecast presented by Jonathan Vautrey

Transcript

00:00Hello there. The showery theme that July has brought us so far is looking to continue over

00:06the next few days. Low pressure is sticking with us throughout the second half of the

00:09weekend as well, gradually pushing its way off towards Scandinavia, but there's still

00:14plenty of isobars on the chart there, indicating a fresh breeze for many of us. Also relatively

00:19unsettled, a cloudy affair for western areas of Scotland with some more prolonged areas

00:23of rain. There'll be some sunshine elsewhere in between the scattered showers that do develop,

00:28but some of those showers could be heavy in places with some thunderstorms and hail as

00:32well. The most impactful torrential downpours are perhaps likely across parts of Aberdeenshire

00:37into Moray, and that's because the thunderstorms here will be slow moving since the winds will

00:41be lightest here over the course of the day. But elsewhere where those isobars are really

00:46tightly spaced together, particularly southern areas of Scotland down into north east England,

00:50potential for 40 mile an hour gusts at some points throughout this afternoon. So definitely

00:55a blustery affair for the rest of England and Wales. Winds will be a notch down compared to

00:59Saturday, but there's still relatively fresh breeze across the place. And if you are exposed

01:03to that, that will just make it feel that bit cooler. If you manage to see that sunshine,

01:08though, temperatures climb to highs of 20, 22 degrees Celsius, a touch lower for western

01:13Scotland underneath the more persistent cloud and rain. And those outbreaks of rain will continue

01:17into this evening and overnight as well. A relatively damp 24 hours to come here. Elsewhere,

01:23some of the showers throughout today will gradually ease their way off, but some will

01:26persist across western areas of England and Wales as well. As any of the more clearer spells,

01:32though, and because the winds are continuing to ease out, it will just feel that bit fresher

01:36compared to last night's temperatures dropping down to around 11, 12 degrees Celsius.

01:40We could just drop into single figures in some rural spots as well. If you manage to see the

01:45clear spells developing overnight, though, it does mean that you'll be greeted by a fairly decent

01:49amount of sunshine first thing to start off the new working week. Still relatively cloudy for

01:54Scotland first thing, and most of us will then start to see showers bubbling up once again as

01:58we head throughout the day, particularly central areas down into eastern southeast England.

02:03Again, this could turn heavy in places with some thunderstorms and hail possible,

02:08but there will be other areas where those showers are a bit more hit and miss, and some of us could

02:12stay dry for much of the day, perhaps parts of northwest England down into Wales and southwest

02:17England, particularly later on into the afternoon as well. Again, if you do manage to dodge those

02:22showers and see some of the sunnier spells, temperatures will range between 17 and 23

02:27degrees Celsius, which is just a touch below relatively around where we should be for the time

02:32of year. As we head into Monday evening again, some of those showers will gradually ease their

02:38way off and most of us should see some late evening sunny spells as well. You might just

02:42notice, though, that this area of rain is gradually pushing its way into the far southwest

02:47of Ireland, and that's something that will be greeting us as we do head towards Tuesday.

02:52Gradually, this area of low pressure will push its way in, providing a fairly damp start to

02:56Tuesday for Northern Ireland, and then that rain will spread its way into northern areas of Wales,

03:00northern England and Scotland later on. So we're not completely out of the woods yet in terms of

03:05this rather unsettled regime, but do stay up to date with the forecast. We'll have all the latest

03:10updates here on YouTube, the app and the website, as well as across all of our social media channels.

03:15And we'll see you again very soon. Bye bye.
