30 Jul
Summary
- Rain showers are predicted for parts of Scotland and North England on Friday.
- Approximately 28 counties are expected to experience downpours.

The UK can expect a return of rain on Friday, particularly affecting Scotland and the North of England. The Met Office forecasts showers in these areas, with downpours potentially impacting around 28 counties, including North Yorkshire, Durham, and Cumbria.
In contrast, southern and southeastern regions are predicted to remain mostly dry, enjoying some sunny spells. However, cooler temperatures and a noticeable breeze are anticipated for the north and northwest. These conditions, characterized by showers and chilly weather, are expected to persist into the weekend.
Met Office deputy chief forecaster Mark Sidaway noted that while rain amounts may be modest and unlikely to compensate for the summer's rainfall deficit, some southern areas might experience little to no precipitation. Overall, temperatures are expected to hover near the UK's average, with Northern Scotland seeing slightly below-average readings.
