UK will experience heavy rain over the next few days

The south of the UK will experience pulses of heavy rain over the next few days, the west and northwest of Scotland could see temperatures of 26°C or maybe even 27°C degrees.

This warm weather will extend to parts of Northern Ireland, as well as parts of central and western England and Wales on Friday.

There’s very much a north/south divide in the weather, with unsettled conditions in the south but drier, warmer conditions in the north. T

here’s a marked east/west split too, with cool and cloudier conditions to the east of the UK, whilst the west experiences warm and sunny weather.

Met Office Chief Meteorologist Jason Kelly told LondonLovesBusiness.com, “Repeated areas of rain are likely to affect southern Britain over the next few days, generating some localised impacts into the weekend.

“We currently have yellow weather warnings for rain in place, and it’s likely we will be issuing further warnings across the weekend.

“It’s a different story to the north of the UK though, as high pressure brings warmer and sunnier conditions, with higher-than-average temperatures, particularly across parts of western Scotland. Eastern areas are likely to be cooler and at times, cloudier due to winds blowing off the North Sea”

Kelly added, “The rain will be persistent for some and may be particularly heavy in a few places. Rainfall totals of 15-30mm are expected widely, however, the wettest areas are likely to see 40-60mm through the whole of Friday, with a lower likelihood of a few areas seeing as much as 75-100mm.

“In addition, rain may well be accompanied by thunderstorms across the southwest during the early hours of Friday morning and during the afternoon and evening, across the southeast.”
