Get Ready for an Unsettled Week Before Temperatures Begin to Cool
This week, the UK will experience unsettled weather conditions, mainly due to a shift in pressure systems. A dominant low-pressure system has replaced the previous week’s high-pressure area, leading to periods of rain and increased wind. These weather changes will markedly affect various regions across the country.
Weather Predictions for the Week
As the week begins, heavy showers are expected, especially in southern England and Wales. Meanwhile, northwestern Scotland will also see persistent rain. By Tuesday, conditions will improve slightly, with intermittent sunshine and less wind.
Key Weather Events
- Monday: Heavy showers in southern England and Wales.
- Tuesday: Showers with brief sunny spells; lighter winds.
- Wednesday: The driest and brightest day, but showers in Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland.
- Wednesday Evening: Increased moisture and wind from the west, leading to heavy rain.
- Thursday: Widespread unsettled weather with heavy showers across the UK.
Rainfall and Wind Forecast
Heavy rainfall is expected, particularly in southern counties. Forecasts predict that 25-40 mm of rain could accumulate overnight on Wednesday. Regions like Northern Ireland and Western Scotland may see additional showers.
Temperature Drop on the Horizon
As the low-pressure system gradually moves eastward toward the weekend, northern winds will bring cooler air from the Arctic. On Friday, strong winds will be predominantly felt along the east coast of England and Scotland.
Weekend Outlook
- Saturday: Temperatures may dip to low double figures, significantly below seasonal averages.
- Possible Wintry Showers: Over high-altitude areas in Scotland.
