I think we need to take a screenshot of the high pressure in case we don't see it again !

Definitely

I’m glad you didn’t edit that out or do the whole thing again 😂 it was a funny moment. Thanks for the brilliantly presented 10 day trend as always, Aidan. 👍

[@Osk.S57]

I just want this drier spell to last long enough to dry out my garden a little.😁

[@Notasmurf-vw6to]

Everyone! We all can’t believe it, high pressure has learnt to come to the UK! In all seriousness, I’m thankful we have an actual *area* of high pressure instead of a ridge that lasts 12 hours.

[@Hugh-nr5sx]

Classic pressure set up for late April to mid-May that the beloved Ian McKaskill used to adore because it often brings the best weather to the west of Scotland and the Highlands before the midge get going. As Aidan hints can last for weeks. The counterpoint is dry cold weather to the SE to dry out the clay.

[@Notasmurf-vw6to]

I’m also hoping we don’t get a loopy jet stream for the summer, like last summer where it got us stuck in cold and miserable July and august with Northern Ireland wettest July ever

[@anthmckenzie]

Same thing we have had since July last year. 10 months of wet, windy & cold weather. I am so sick of it now. Im from the North East, very depressing lol. Thankfully I'll be in Marmaris Turkey for 2 weeks in June for some sun & heat.

[@greggcorbett9344]

Could you do a video explaining the weather that caused the drought in 1976?

[@indobleh]

This is the first High over the UK since mid January.

I can’t remember the last time we had a dry week? I’m 70 and I think this has been the wettest and windiest 6-7 months in my opinion

Thank you for that weather forecast very informative, although somewhat miserable I’ll keep smiling. Didn’t want to sort my summer outfits yet. ❤Deanne UK Suffolk

[@CionnFE]

Great, thanks. And nice catch!

[@Asionahill]

Most informative explanation of how the 5 pattern higher in our atmosphere and position of higher pressure east of mountains world wide can influence our weather.....fascinating! The best weather presenter award should go to Aidan!

[@deanneharrall1241]

I totally agree.

[@tombrennan8372]

Best and most understandable forecast. Should be on the telly.

[@deanneharrall1241]

I absolutely agree.

UFO ALERT! There is this large very bright yellowish circle in the sky at the moment, EVERYONE go outside and look, ITS ALSO NOT RAINING!!! Never mind, I went to see if I could still see the UFO but its gone and its raining...wonder if it will be back next year?

excellent presentation, thank you.

[@jamiewatson9834]

So is it looking like we may get a dryer, sunnier and somewhat oess windy summer than we got last year?

[@michaelgadd5109]

Really interesting, thanks, particularly the wave 5 explained 👍

[@solariss452]

Clearly explained. Thank you.

[@ChrisScrivener]

I too enjoyed the accidental dropping of the control unit for adding that much appreciated human element. the explanation of the semi-static high pressure systems was fascinating too.

[@trevorarbon9639]

Thank you Aidan for explaining it all. Looks like remaining chilly in Suffolk for the foreseeable.

[@deanneharrall1241]

Yes I’m afraid so. Deanne UK Suffolk.

[@suewright1299]

Very many thanks Aidan! Keep working on your catches just in case you fancy cricket or they’re on the lookout for an all rounder! 😂 🏏 😂 Not too bad a forecast all things considered, especially here in the south west for the weekend etc. It certainly doesn’t look too wet for next week. Take care everyone and all at the Met Office, thanks for the hard work 😊

[@leelee9788]

"less wet but not entirely dry" Alrighty then.

[@zlyzly5940]

thx Aiden

[@Zaf2010]

Oh great (not) cold and wet for us in east anglia 😩

[@Notasmurf-vw6to]

I thought it would be high pressure south UK with lows skirting Scot and NI. Thankfully I get the turn of high pressure

[@garyvisick1409]

Makes a change, all we hear most of the time is the Southeast and East anglia getting the highest temperatures and the best of the sunshine when we have normal south-westerly winds.

[@petergallagher3595]

Will we see the sun though I've forgotten what it looks like.

[@charlotteworkman5357]

Brilliant insight into our planet's weather system - thank you for so much detail! Much better than the ol sun and cloud emojis on a basic map (still in use in some countries!) 🙏

[@kamgaming4454]

Not really going to get better. Met office says 10 degrees every day from from to the first week of may. It's been cold since October in the UK , dreadful weather and country

[@metoffice]

As mentioned in the video, it’s getting drier for most of the UK compared with the exceptionally wet recent weather (although it won’t be completely dry, especially in the east). Whether or not it’s getting ‘better’ is much more subjective and depends on personal tastes / needs!

[@auldfouter8661]

Over 4 inches of rain in the first half of April here ( Ayrshire)

[@owenjackson1736]

would be great to do a video explaining the rossby wave 7 pattern during summer 2018 - that was a remarkable weather event

[@MegaDeano1963]

Oh eck that wave 5 jetstream really wrecked our summer and baked Europe and USA last year . Let's hope it unsticks

[@metoffice]

It can also bring persistent high pressure over the UK. I.e., for the UK, whether we get low or high pressure stuck over us all depends on the precise shape and orientation of the jet stream.

[@TheIlhanTheElequent_ishaq]

@@metofficewhat is likely to happen with pattern according to what happened in historical context?

[@edcoward1011]

Very informative. Thanks. Can you do a presentation on why we're seeing more blocking weather patterns in recent years than before.

[@linzibingbong]

The wave no5 pattern is what brought our heat wave in summer 2022. Can you tell us if this pattern is likely to stick around until summer? I can't find info on if 2022 spring had the same pattern or not but I remember all the storms we had that previous winter were similar to this winter's

[@marineboy1964]

I just need a bit of dry warmer weather for my potatoes on my allotment the cabbage and cauliflower have got to go in soon , come on give us a break

[@josephhodsdon]

"Wave no 5 pattern?" Is that a similar blocking pattern that caused us record temperatures and drought in summer '22. Dont want a repeat of that...well me and my cattle dont anyway..

[@trainmatt1]

I want some drier weather, too. I've been getting bites from gnats and other insects like mosquitos as it's been so damp this winter.

[@chrisa9043]

The most relible time frame for weather 10 day ahead.

[@kingkitchens6565]

Why is the UK always shown as upright, rather than the correct alignment in the world, ie, on the slant?

[@Mykst]

It used to be like that but people preferred to have the UK in an upright position instead. If you watch some of the older Met Office forecast videos from years ago, you'll see the slant.

[@Hugh-nr5sx]

7 minutes to 7.45 in.. what are the boxed numbers in red.? Had no idea first time and second time precipitation but that is the shading for the 24hrs.? Watched three times and none the wiser.

[@metoffice]

In this case it’s the temperature at 1pm

[@briancook1050]

We tow with an EV, not going to be everyones cup of tea but the towing experience is super smooth and you have 100% of power from zero so you don't notice the caravan when pulling off. Charging when towing is a pain as it means unhooking as hardly any pull thru spaces, but with a bit of planning you can stop where its not a problem. Cost for electric is £5.40 for approx 120 miles (easy to achieve between charges with the caravan on the back) if charging ay home, or about £35 if charging anywhere sensible. Public charging is the same as buying petrol, plenty of expensive and cheap places, both need a bit of thought. Majority of miles are charging at home, without the van its about 280 miles for £5.40. Money no object I'd get a taycan shooting brake, will tow two tons and do another 50 or so miles on a charge. Currently we stop every two and a bit hours, would prefer if we could push that to three hours. Not the cheapest to buy currently but if you buying new or nearly new then they can make sense for some but not all

[@neilrusling-je6zo]

On your map there are places such as denmark, norway, holland, south ireland etc where sometimes you give information and yet sometimes you dont. Why not give the same info to places that are not England as you do to places that are England especially when you have access to and mention the European weather forecast (ecmwf), they are on your map so please dont leave them out.

[@metoffice]

We’ll occasionally mention other countries if it’s interesting but we mainly just cover the UK because that’s the remit of the UK Met Office. Other countries in Europe have their own Met Services and more expertise about their own regions.

[@Hugh-nr5sx]

@@metoffice I have never seen the entire logic for that as the weather over the Republic of Ireland can be a major factor.? As an aside I have seen a few New Zealand forecasts on KZbin and I never realised how much their weather is affected by Australasia.

[@SimonPhelps-qg1eg]

More waffle

You just couldn't be thankful like everybody else could you? Ironically your comment provides *nothing* at all.

[@brianeckersley3688]

Rubbish forcast with ifs and buts and mights but no forcast

[@Mykst]

Your lack of understanding on how forecasts work doesn't mean they are rubbish. There's obviously a reason why you're not a meteorologist.

[@deanneharrall1241]

We’ll see if the ifs and buts are true, correct so far tho. Keep smiling 😊
