August 16th 2024.
After a cool and rainy spell, the warm and sunny weather has made a comeback in the UK. It's quite the mix of weather we're experiencing at the moment, but it's nothing out of the ordinary for a typical British summer season. And don't let the recent cooler temperatures fool you, summer is far from over.
Despite some areas of the UK getting drenched yesterday, the latest forecast from the Met Office is predicting mostly dry and pleasant weather for today and heading into the weekend. Even in the bustling city of London, things are looking up with temperatures not reaching the scorching highs we saw earlier this week.
While some parts of the country were dealing with rain, others were enjoying the warmth and sunshine at Praa sands beach in Cornwall. And for those queuing up for the second Taylor Swift Eras tour concert at Wembley, this is certainly good news.
Taking a look at the weather for Friday, August 15, we can expect a bit of a grey start to the day in the southern parts of England due to a spell of rain. But fear not, the rest of the day should bring plenty of sunshine to England and Wales.
In Northern Ireland and Scotland, there may be some patchy cloud cover and scattered showers accompanied by blustery winds and temperatures below 20C. However, in London, the South East, and the Midlands, temperatures are expected to reach up to 24C – a significant drop from the hottest day of the year just a few days ago.
Early in the morning, we can expect some rain and cloud cover to clear out of the southeast, with a chance of showers in the far northwest of Scotland. Everywhere else should stay dry with plenty of sunny spells and lighter winds, according to the Met Office's tweet.
The gusty winds that brought cooler air yesterday are still lingering, making the temperatures feel much more comfortable. This is a welcome change for those who were struggling in the mini heatwave. And for all the "Swifties" heading to Wembley Stadium tonight for Taylor Swift's concert, there's no need to worry about bringing a raincoat – the forecast predicts highs of 24C when the doors open. Even by the end of the show, temperatures should still be around 20C before midnight.
Londoners should also be prepared for the possibility of another warm night, with temperatures only dropping slightly below 20C in the early hours of Saturday. So, get ready to enjoy the pleasant weather and make the most of the remaining days of summer.
