cheering. time for a look at the weather. here s helen willetts. some beautiful weather watchers last night. as you can see from the skies, these are from highlands scotland but it s a strong our rowrah at the moment so if we get clear skies we may see it. towards the north we have that coming in to parts of scotland and perhaps a bit further south as well. we do have cloudier skies here, you see at the moment, on that weather front. lots of showers and still the remnants of the overnight rain, pacific oceany rain in the south. between it, sow good spells of sunshine and we have lost the humidity. so while we have a blustery breeze and showers continuing across scotland, northern ireland, they tend to ease, temperatures aren t quite as high, as they were last night, because we have lost the humidity. sorry, yesterday, but it feels pleasant out there. we should see evening sunshine as the showers fade away, so an opportunity to witness the northern lights in the north but not
particularly in the south. not so on sunday when we bring more cloud in and some rain from the south west later. it looks like a drier day across scotland and northern ireland. there is more online.
underlines how critical a point we re at with climate change. how much it s effecting the uk. until the main source here is refilled, the llys y fran reservoir, restrictions will remain, but across wales it s a mixed picture. the north of wales in particular has had the rainfall that we need to maintain water resources. pembrokeshire is the area we are concerned about. we just simply haven t had any rain in pembrokeshire. there are other areas of south wales, south east in particular, that rainfall hasn t been as high as we would have liked and we are monitoring. after a period of unprecedented dry weather, it s become clear to karen that these changes are here to stay. it frustrates me more to do with the reasonings behind having hosepipe bans. and that s primarily because, well, we ve notjust had a hot summer. this is a result of climate change and so that s going to carry on that way. i find that very frustrating
the wildlife trust are saying. we are saying that climate change is affecting areas like this. the fact that the water table is so low. across much of the region, evidence of the exceptionally dry weather, even across the pennines this is woodhead reservoir. but water company united utilities says their reservoirs in cumbria are at near normal levels, so there are no plans to impose water restrictions. back at little woolden moss, the teams are building barriers or bunds to help retain water in future. rain is forecast this week, but it ll take months of wet weather to restore this area. we need prolonged spells of rain. we need it. we really need the water to come back up to the surface. and that s notjust going to happen because of a few days of rain. 0ur peatlands are doing really well, but if the situation continues, i think we re going to be fighting, you know, really fighting a losing battle in many ways. this isn tjust a climate crisis it impacts on biodiversity, too. co
