seen of late, because the jet stream is digging its way southwards and then bending northwards again. and this jet stream pattern continues to allow us to tap into this really warm air, we're bringing it up from the south, moving northwards across the uk. now, we do have a frontal system in the picture. it is a warm front pushing its way northwards across northern ireland and scotland, taking some rain with it. but that rain increasingly becoming confined to the far north—west, high pressure across the near continent. so actually, a lot of dry weather this weekend, it's not going to be quite as windy as it has been, certainly through saturday, the winds lighter than we're used to, and any early fog will give way way to some spells of sunshine across england and wales, northern ireland and much of scotland, with that rain retreating northwards. not as mild as it has been in the far north, but still 13 or 11! degrees, 17 for cardiff, 18 degrees for london. now, as we look ahead to sunday, high pressure holds firm across continental europe. this frontal system does

try to work in from the west. and ahead of that, the breeze will start to strengthen. but as we start the day with light winds, we are likely to see some areas of low cloud and fog across parts of east wales, the midlands, eastern of england. could be quite murky for the eastern coast scotland as well. sunny spells, another mild day, but we will see cloud and rain into northern ireland late in the day, and that will continue to push its eastwards on monday. weakening as it goes, but could be some quite heavy rain moving across the north of scotland. brighter skies following behind. but some slightly cooler air. these temperatures are still above the seasonal norm, but not feeling quite as mild as it has been. now, i take you to the other side of the atlantic to show you this swirl of cloud, this is ex—hurricane nicole. the remnants of the storm drifting across the eastern side of the us. and then notice the stripe of cloud here, putting in from the west. this is a frontal system which will essentially subsume our ex—hurricane. these weather systems combining and moving across the atlantic as an area of low pressure.

and with that injection of tropical moisture, well, this weather system could actually bring quite a lot of rain as it passes close to the uk through the middle of the week. so, on tuesday, we will see this band of heavy rain moving actually quite slowly eastwards, so quite a wet day for many of us on tuesday, quite breezy as well, particularly ahead of the rainband. maybe brighter skies returning from the west. temperature still in double digits, but not quite as mild as it has been, 1044 degrees. the remnants of the weather systems are still likely to be affecting parts of northern scotland on wednesday. elsewhere, some sunny spells, could well see some heavy showers returning from the south—west. 9 degrees for newcastle, 13 for cardiff and for plymouth. you can see those temperatures just beginning to dip. now, later next week, this is the jet stream pattern, no longer digging all the way south. instead, racing across the atlantic, bringing bouts of winds and rain, bringing areas of low pressure and the jet stream to the south of the uk,

it is going to feel a little cooler. now, these temperatures as we head through into next weekend, they are much lower than what we have right now, but actually nothing exceptional for the time of year. it's just closer to what we would expect for november and there will be some wind and rain at times.
