hello there. after the dry and sunny day that most of us had on monday, tuesday s weather was, well, a little bit disappointing, wasn t it? we had a lot of cloud around and outbreaks of rain. and it wasn tjust that it was a wet day, it was also quite chilly for a late march day with temperatures for quite a few of us, around eight or nine degrees. but looking at wednesday s weather picture, it will at least be turning a lot milder, although we have got more rain on the way. now the milder weather conditions will be brought in on these fairly gusty south westerly winds. so some very mild air coming ourway. that process of the south westerly winds bringing mild air is well under way at the moment but we ve got a lot of cloud around with patches of drizzle so quite a damp start to wednesday, i think, with a few mist and fog patches around the coast and hills in the west. but temperatures starting off wednesday at around ten or ii degrees celsius in places. now for wednesday itself, we ve
siargao s main surfing spot, cloud 9, is not for the faint hearted. with thick tubed waves breaking over razor sharp corals, some pro surfers call it a death ride . but if surfing isn t your thing, there s plenty of other activities you can do in the water here. you can take a boat trip through the mangroves to end up at sugba lagoon. it looks like a tropical paradise you would see on a postcard well, if your idea of paradise is throwing yourself off a i2 foot diving board. further afield from the shores of siargao is the island of bohol, the home of the tarsiers. these little animals have been around for 45 million years but are now almost extinct. beware they re so sensitive that even a camera flash or a touch of a human can severely hurt or even
so it s here we re going to see outbreaks of rain, which should turn lighter and patchier through the day. a lot of cloud around. there will be some brighter breaks again if you see the sunshine. sun s got enough strength to make it feel warm enough. but actually for many, especially down these eastern coast, so the breeze off the sea, it will feel a touch cooler. and we ve got at the moment that same weather front almost decays in situ. then as you go into sunday, as pressure starts to build around it, high pressure building around the weather front tends to squeeze out the rain and there s nothing there other than patchy rain or drizzle. but we do have a legacy of a lot of cloud across many areas, particularly scotland, western half of england and wales. either side of that though, there should be some sunshine temperatures around ten to 13 celsius as you go through sunday into monday. high pressure should build in a bit more widely. it could be actually a chilly start to monday, a c
heaviest with hail and thunder through the midlands and northeast england. but some of you avoid that. stay in the sunshine and you ll notice that gathering strength at the sun, potentially the warmest day of the year, 17 celsius possible. but through the night and into friday, another air of low pressure will push by bringing very heavy rain to begin with, as that is tracking across the southern half of england and wales. the strongest, the wind to the south of it mainly affecting france. but it could have impacts on friday across the southern counties of england, wales and more especially the channel islands, winds gusting 65, maybe 70 miles an hour in one or two spots. rain lingering, though quite persistent through the day across parts of south west england and wales. also northern ireland looking for quite a soggy day, but further north and east, showery, lots of cloud around. temperatures down a little bit on thursday, but still above levels. we should be for this stage in the ye
of scotland that you re most likely to have a dry and a bright start to the day, but otherwise, cloud and rain to start off with, with that rain band pushing eastwards through the day. and while it does brighten up in northern ireland, but only to a mixture of sunshine and heavy, particularly thundery showers come the afternoon. mild in the west, 1a degrees in belfast. across eastern areas, temperatures below average for the time of year, but that s not going to last because those south westerly winds are going to continue to shove milder and milder air across the uk with temperatures rising midweek across the board. it might be getting milder but it s not getting any drier. we re looking at another day of heavy downpours, some particularly heavy rain working into southern parts of wales. it looks very wet with some thundery rain across the northwest of the uk, maybe a bit of hail mixed in with some of the downpours, too. but it s mild temperatures 15 even 16 celsius. now, heading in
