The showers will turn increasingly heavy and locally thundery, especially across E Scotland, NE England, E England and South-East England during the afternoon and early evening period. Torrential downpours may lead to localised flash flooding.

Heavy and at times thundery rain pushing northeastwards tomorrow

A spell of wet weather is expected across many central and eastern parts of England tomorrow with parts of the East Midlands, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and Pennine areas in general seeing some large rainfall totals, especially as the system slows down.   Locally in excess of 60mm may fall in a short time. Whilst the risk is low, some of the rainfall will be very heavy with thunder. Below is a video animation showing the track and location of the expected rainfall with total accumulations expected at the end.

Mid-week update: High pressure, brightness, turning cooler, what heatwave?

Good afternoon and welcome to this weeks mid-week weather update looking ahead at the weather for the remainder of the week in detail.  High pressure has been in charge of late leading too mainly settled conditions prevailing with very little in the way of rainfall. For the remainder of this week we’ll continue with the dry and generally settled weather as high pressure continues to dominate our weather. Today we’ve seen variable amounts of cloud cover with the best of the brightness across Scotland, however, as we go through Thursday and in to Friday many areas will see the brightness return that we experienced last weekend and at the start of this week. Temperatures will rise slightly across the UK …

High pressure dominates, warmer by day, cold by night

High pressure is set to continue across the United Kingdom this week. We do have the small matter of cloud and rain across the extreme west and north-west of the United Kingdom, mainly Northern Ireland, W/NW Scotland and the Western Isles of Scotland as the Atlantic creeps in, however, high pressure situated across England and Wales halts any eastwards progression of Atlantic systems, keeping them well away from mainland Britain. As we go through the week we’ll see high pressure continuing and becoming well established come mid-week with conditions eventually improving for Northern Ireland and Scotland too. There will be very little in the way of rainfall this week. Below you will find a graphic from our high resolution model …

Much needed rain for many this week as low pressure dominates

What a difference a week makes! Of late we’ve basked in glorious sunshine and warm temperatures with very little, if no rainfall in sight. I’m afraid that is set to change this week as we see low pressure take hold of our weather. I say I’m afraid, but I know for many, especially those of you with allotments and landscaping jobs or hobbies have been crying out for some rainfall as the ground is very dry and hard at the moment.   Initially the wettest weather or majority of any rainfall will be across the southern half of the United Kingdom during the next 24-30 hours with Wales, southern and southeastern parts of England seeing the main bulk of rainfall …

Omnipotent Jet Stream but where is the snow?

The United Kingdom has certainly experienced a very wet Autumn and winter so far and I’m afraid the wet and generally milder conditions are set to continue, at least throughout most of January. The reason for the unsettled weather is the position and strength of the Jet Stream. The jet stream is a fast flowing current of air higher up in the atmosphere, in fact the jet stream is located near the tropopause with prevailing westerly winds. The strength and position of the Jet Stream is very important to the UK’s weather as it controls our weather patterns, direction of these patterns and at times also the strength of low pressure systems, for example if a rapidly developing area of low …

A windy day in store with gales moving east!

Northern and western areas start the day on a very wet and windy note with the far east and southeast fairing best, at the moment, however it is downhill as we go through the day. Yet another area of low pressure is currently moving across the United Kingdom and it is introducing some very strong winds and further wet weather. The wet weather will transfer eastwards throughout the day as will the strong winds. We’ll see a secondary wave of heavy rain developing across northwestern areas later in the day.   Irish sea coasts will see wind gusts in excess of 65mph, possibly 70mph for a time with inland gusts across much of England and Wales ranging from 50-60mph. The …
