well, the advice for this weekend is macs, raincoats, umbrellas — you may not even want to venture out at all if you don't like the sort of weather. it is not looking pretty over the next few days, spells of heavy rain, gale—force winds, the possibility of travel disruption — autumn has well and truly arrived, on cue. now, this is the satellite picture, and the weather is looking pretty rough over the atlantic, areas of heavy weather are developing, low pressure already centred between scotland and iceland, sending showers across the uk. but this next area of low pressure just to the south—west of our neighbourhood is already rearing its head through the early hours of saturday morning, with increasing winds and rain. but central and eastern areas, early in the morning, actually not too bad at all. there will be some clear spells, fairly chilly with temperatures around 5 degrees, for example, in norwich. and here is the weather in the morning, it goes downhill very quickly out towards the west, and then that heavy rain, this developing low pressure means that the area of rain expands, the winds are increasing,

gale—force winds in south—eastern areas — not pretty. but notice that perhaps an improvement in some weather across western areas of the uk. but there is low pressure will well and truly establish itself across the uk through the whole of the weekend, you can see this weather front wrapping around, the bulk of it is actually through by the time we get to later on sunday, but this backwash behind this area of low pressure, you can see it there scooting off to the north, lots of heavy showers and quite a blustery wind. it might be 17 degrees on the thermometer, but it's going to feel colder than that with this really fresh atlantic wind dragging in these showers. so that was sunday — how about monday? well, the area of low pressure has broadened stock within it, we've got small areas of low pressure and weather fronts riding around it, it is almost like a catherine wheel of weather across the uk. here is the next one coming in. now, this could be a nasty one as we head through the early part of the week, this could bring strong

winds and very heavy rain as well. it's not going to be raining all the time, that's the good news. there will be some sunshine around as well, there will be sunny spells, for sure. but the point is, it will be very changeable, lots of showers, flicking from sunny spells to showers no doubt, and those temperatures you can see, nothing special. that's it from me, bye—bye.
