. —— mike corey. hello. in reference to next week. i'll get to that in a moment, but first let's take a look at the big weather pattern for the weekend. low pressure battling with high pressure, for dominance of the uk's weather — it is high pressure that wins but keeps us in the blue with a stronger, colder east south—easterly wind over the weekend. it is high pressure, meaning most of us will stay dry, bar the odd shower. there will be some decent sunshine around but it is going to be cold for the time of year, particularly in that stronger wind. gardeners take note, frosty nights as well. many of us will start with frost again on saturday morning, away from the north sea coast and away from most westernmost areas where the wind is continuing to pick up. some gusts in northern ireland of around a0 mph. a breezy picture for some, patchy cloud will develop over parts of eastern england, especially east anglia and south—east england, you may catch a stray shower. if you do there could be some small hail assoc

remember you can join our adventures by following us on social media, but for now from me, mike coreye in california, it's goodbye. we have some holiday weather on the way later on in the week as temperatures are set to exceed 20 celsius. turning much warmer, and the weather turns milder from tomorrow. we probably won't feel it until around wednesday, but anything thatis until around wednesday, but anything that is higher than the last few daysis that is higher than the last few days is better. western areas a lot of cloud, eastern parts have been clearer. there is high pressure across sweden and norway right now, and within this high pressure we have a lot of cold air, it is following the shape of the high pressure in the colder air has been coming across the north sea in reaching our shores. coastal areas will continue to struggle today. with clear skies in central and eastern areas once again it will turn cold. different weather pattern in the west, it is milder, and closer to the weather front meaning more cloud and some rain. this is the case for tomorrow for cornwall and maybe p

remember, you canjoin our adventures by following us on social media but for now, from me, mike coreyay, it's goodbye. a sunny afternoon on the cards for some of us, but for others storm hannah continues to cause issues. some travel disruption is still possible through this afternoon and minor damage to trees and buildings cannot be ruled out. the wind peeked through the night, 82 mph in north—west wales, and while the strength has peaked, it could still bea strength has peaked, it could still be a windy afternoon for many. low pressure system in the west, where we will see the stronger winds. more sunshine across southern counties of england and where is, in the north—west midlands and wales, it will be cool, but also where we see the strongest winds. a0 or 50 mph. the wind will pick up across eastern counties of england later. further outbreaks of rain as we go into the night, much of it starting to ease, and it will be a colder night, with possibly some frost to start off sunday morning. the baggage —— back edge of storm hannah moves away from us edge of storm hannah moves away fro

remember, you canjoin our adventures by following us on social media but for now, from me, mike coreyay, it's goodbye. hello. it will be a stormy start to the weekend for many parts of the uk. in fact, storm hannah has already brought power outages to parts of ireland. the winds have been escalating through the night and severe gales are expected quite widely around the coast and the hills in the west. this is a deep area of low pressure so late into the season, of course, when the trees are now in full leaf in many areas so we do expect some damage to trees, buildings, power lines and that disruption to transport. there are warnings out there on the website for this storm, mostly for the winds but not entirely because it looks pretty wet as well. we've had one band of rain moving through the night. this next one coming in becomes a slow—moving feature, so with all the cloud around, it's not going to to be a cold start to this saturday morning, but it will be a very windy one. particularly for england and wales where we're expecting severe gales around the coast and over the hills, bu

remember, you canjoin our adventures by following us on social media but for now, from me, mike coreyoodbye. good evening. for almost all of us, today was the more clement day of the weekend. we said farewell to storm hannah. some of us even got to see some sunshine. that was how it looked for a weather watcher in east sussex. there were some showers around and more generally cloudy conditions across western parts of the uk, with some splashes of rain. you can see that cloud on the satellite picture. we have a slow—moving weather front draped across western parts of the country. it's not going to make much progress eastwards over the next couple of days. through tonight, it will bring cloud and some patchy rain into south—west england, west wales, northern ireland, the isle of man and the far south—west of scotland. elsewhere, some mist and fog patches starting to form and in eastern areas, quite a chilly night. the north—east and scotland, there could be a localised frost. but tomorrow, for most of us it is looking dry, with spells of sunshine, but our pesky weather front will still

remember, you canjoin our adventures by following us on social media but for now, from me, mike coreyodbye. the weather is a lot better today across the uk compared to yesterday, at least for most of us. i know it is not the case everywhere, cloud and spots of rain, but the fine weather today also last into tomorrow and for most of us it really should be not bad at all. this is what it looks like mid afternoon. we have the cloud and spots of rain towards the west from belfast down to plymouth but central and eastern areas drier and brighter with decent sunshine in places. the forecast for two stays cloudy and gloomy across southern and western areas but where the sky is clear elsewhere it will be quite nippy. 3-4 elsewhere it will be quite nippy. 3—4 outside of town so a chilly start to monday with crisp sunshine on the way but the cloud will develop and bubble up through the afternoon and it might be cloudy in lincolnshire and southwards and also cloud towards the west but on the whole, the lowlands are the winner, 18 celsius. this is bbc news, the headlines at two. britain's frackin

remember, you canjoin our adventures by following us on social media but for now, from me, mike coreythere. over the next few days the warmest weather is likely to be across more eastern parts of the uk, where we see the best of the sunshine. there was more cloud around yesterday, though, across the south—east of england and east anglia. it was fairly thin, that has certainly broken up and we've got some clearer skies right now. but further west, though, we're going to find this weather front sneaking in, it's going to bring some patchy rain and drizzle but it's moving very slowly eastwards into that area of high pressure. so for many parts it's still dry by the morning. temperatures in the clearer skies dipping away to 3—5 degrees. let's head into the morning, then. we pick up the story across scotland. some sunshine for northern and perhaps eastern scotland. a bit of patchy rain coming into the far west of scotland. still, this rain continuing on and off in northern ireland as it has done through the night. for england and wales, though, we are yet to see any rain crossing the irish

and the travel show‘s mike corey is in oslo taking on the grand masters of norway's chess scene. half an hour, here on bbc news. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. the uk's shale gas commissioner has resigned after only six months in thejob, saying the government is paying too much attention to a small but noisy environmental lobby, and consequently there is a "de facto" ban on fracking. natascha engel was tasked with uniting communities over the controversial process, but says stringent rules are stopping the industry from being successful, as john mcmanus reports. is this a vision of the uk's future energy market? hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in this case at a site in lancashire. well, maybe not, because despite government support for shale gas exploration, the woman in charge of inspiring confidence in the project has just quit. certainly since i first started six months ago, there was always an understanding that fracking was going to really struggle to develop if these really ridiculously low limits on earth tremors were going to be kept in place. the understandin

and the travel show‘s mike corey is in oslo taking on the grand masters of norway's chess scene.alf an hour — here on bbc news. the catholic priest fr martin magill, who criticised northern ireland's political leaders at the funeral of the journalist, lyra mckee, has told the bbc that people want results from new talks, next month, to restore power—sharing at stormont. power—sharing broke down more than two years ago. our ireland correspondent emma vardy reports. at lyra mckee‘s funeral, the words of fr martin magill received a standing ovation when he shamed politicians for failing to reconcile their differences to restore devolution. why, in god's name, does it take the death of a 29—year—old woman with her whole life in front of her... applause in his first interview since the address, he urged politicians to listen to the people. i get the sense that people want our politicians to move and they want them to move now, and by that i mean in terms of entering into those talks and in a way that will actually bring a positive result at the end of them. political adversaries in nor

remember you can join our adventures by following us on social media, but for now from me, mike coreybye. hello there. we've got more of the same really through the rest of this weekend. it's going to remain on the cold side and we have got stronger winds as well, east to south—easterly winds are picking up which make it feel colder. most places will be dry, there will be some sunshine around but there will be some more frosty nights and early mornings as well as we had early this morning. a look outside from earlier on, this is the picture in county antrim and it is this part of northern ireland that will probably see the best of the sunshine across the country. here we are in woking in surrey with some blue skies and probably staying dry here today, though there are some showers coming in across east anglia into the south east of england today, one or two could be heavy, perhaps with some sleet and hail. but away from here it is going to be dry, some lengthy spells of sunshine, some fair weather cloud. sunshine is a bit hazy in northern ireland, west wales and the south—west of engl

remember you can join our adventures by following us on social media, but for now from me, mike coreyifornia, it's goodbye. good evening. it has been a mostly dry but a chilly feeling weekend, with temperatures well below normal for this stage of april over the last few days. this picture was taken by one of our weather watchers in suffolk. some blue sky and sunshine, some fair weather cloud, there's been quite a chilly easterly breeze over the past few days, particularly in the east. tomorrow, things are again looking mainly dry. it will start to turn a little bit milder, with some much milder weather on the cards later in the week. what we've got, we've got a weather front moving in from the west, but high pressure sitting across scandinavia, driving our weather at the moment. that will keep things mostly dry but it's also been bringing us this cold air mass, with wind coming from the east or south—east. blue colours on the map at the moment. one more fairly chilly night to come before things turn milder. for much of the country, we've got clear skies overnight tonight. a bit more c

remember you can join our adventures by following us on social media, but for now from me, mike corey it's goodbye. hello, after a chilly start to the weekend, if anything during sunday it will feel a bit colder. of course it always helps if you get to see some sunshine, and most of us did at some stage on saturday. but for sunday there is expected to be more cloud building up and the east—south—easterly wind will be a bit stronger too. all that comes after a frosty start, and a good few degrees below freezing where we've had clear skies overnight, and away from any breezy conditions along north sea coasts and this weather front in north—western parts. this is a different flavour to the weather on sunday. more cloud around and some of us seeing a bit of rain. it is a frosty start for some, particularly where you are in the blue. we can see the effect of the cloud on the west, keeping temperatures up a little and breezes coming along north sea coasts. lots of early sunshine to come, but the cloud is expected to build. in terms of catching a shower, early showers should fade and we may

remember you can join our adventures by following us on social media, but for now from me, mike corey here in california, it's goodbye. hello there, good morning. there's more spring sunshine and more spring warmth on the way as we head towards the easter weekend. the weekend just gone was quite chilly, temperatures about 12. an easterly wind and the air coming all the way from the baltic. but look what happens over the next few days. a lot of that blue, colder air gets pushed away and it really heats up across central parts of europe and that is where we are going to get our weather coming from. we will be developing this south—easterly breeze and it will be warming up everywhere. mid—20s perhaps by saturday. on monday, in the sunshine, it felt pleasant enough. we had temperatures here in london of 15 degrees. likewise in liverpool, merseyside. we've also had this cloud coming in very slowly from the west which has been bringing with it patchy rain and drizzle. earlier on it was quite windy as well in northern ireland and here in cornwall, unseasonable weather. the winds are easing d
