England Braces for 300-Mile Rain Band
15 Jul
Summary
- A 300-mile rain band is forecast for England later this month.
- Heaviest downpours expected in northern England and the Midlands.
- Temperatures to remain warm in southeast England despite rain.
A substantial 300-mile band of rain is expected to move across England later this month, signaling a potential shift from recent dry conditions. Forecast maps indicate that by midday on Tuesday, July 28, a corridor of wet weather will stretch from northern England through the Midlands and towards the south coast.
The most intense rainfall is predicted for parts of North Yorkshire and County Durham, with accompanying orange and amber shading on weather maps. This rainfall is anticipated to offer relief following a period of intense summer heat, with the Met Office suggesting an increased chance of rain or thunderstorms.
An east-west split in weather is also forecast, as the primary rain band affects central and western areas while many eastern regions may remain dry. Cooler air is expected to follow the rain band eastward. However, southeast England is projected to retain warmer temperatures, possibly reaching 27C to 28C, a marked contrast to the low 20Cs expected in central and northern England.
