UK Weather Alert: Rain to Drench 29 Areas This Week
1 Aug
Summary
- Heavy rain is forecast for 29 UK areas this week.
- Southern areas will experience hot and humid conditions.
- Scotland may face significant rainfall buildup.
Britons should prepare for a week of unsettled weather as Met Office maps indicate heavy rain affecting 29 areas. Parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland, and England are expected to experience significant downpours. An area of low pressure extending across the UK will bring rain to the north, while showers are possible in the south.
Concurrently, warmer and more humid air will return to England and Wales, with temperatures potentially reaching 30C again. This change brings a contrast to the summer's dry spell. However, the north will remain cooler, with accumulations of heavy rain anticipated, particularly in Scotland. This forecast comes as over half of England is currently experiencing drought conditions.
