30 Sep
Summary
- Heavy rain and hail expected across parts of the UK today.
- Winds could reach speeds of up to 50mph in affected areas.
- Sunny spells will accompany the stormy weather in some regions.
Britain is experiencing a day of unsettled weather, with heavy rain, thunder, and hail forecast across various regions. Parts of the country could face winds gusting up to 50mph as downpours move eastward.
Scattered showers, accompanied by potential thunder and hail, are expected in western England and Wales. The Met Office anticipates sunny spells amidst the gloom, offering some respite.
Overnight, cooler air will sweep in, breaking humidity and bringing fresher conditions. Thursday morning will start cooler, but temperatures are predicted to remain 1C-3C above the seasonal average.
This warm spell is due to a low-pressure system in the Atlantic drawing warm air from southern Europe. The forecast for Thursday and Friday indicates a mix of sunshine and showers.
By the weekend, higher pressure is expected to build, leading to more settled conditions. Southern areas will continue to enjoy above-average temperatures, with highs of 21C and relatively dry weather.
