Summer has arrived, but June is still experiencing heavy rain.

Are you ready to get a little damp today? Residents in certain parts of the UK should prepare themselves for more scattered showers as the unsettled and chilly weather persists. But don't worry, there is some good news - the showers will be less frequent and temperatures will be a bit warmer in some areas.

Yesterday, strong winds, hail, and thunder rocked eastern and southern parts of the country. While London, the southeast, and the east will still experience scattered showers today, the outlook is brighter for other regions. The west and southwest can expect plenty of sunshine, although temperatures are still on the chilly side for this time of year. The average temperature in the south during this season is 20°C, but unfortunately, it will only reach 17°C in London and other southern areas. Up north, it will feel more like autumn as the high in Newcastle is only 12°C. Glasgow will see highs of 15°C and Belfast will experience temperatures around 13°C. Not exactly ideal weather for a summer month.

According to the Met Office, Tuesday will start off chilly but sunny for some. However, cloudier skies will move in from the north, bringing showers mainly to the eastern regions. Currently, there are eleven flood alerts issued across the UK, although the Environment Agency assures us that the overall risk is very low.

As we continue through this not-so-summery month, there may be some brief periods of pleasant weather, but the overall trend will be cool and showery. Toward the end of the month, the weather signals are too weak to make any reliable forecasts, as stated by the long-range Met Office forecast.

In other news, have you heard about the latest happenings in London? The Agency's London news hub is the perfect place to stay updated on all things capital. From the fascinating stories of what it was like for children during the Blitz to the devastation of a roof collapse in east London, there's always something going on. And don't forget to check out the £4.25m townhouse that once served as the final resting place for 200,000 bodies. Talk about a piece of history!

In the coming days, all areas can expect a mix of dry, sunny weather and showers or longer periods of rain. Temperatures will likely stay around normal or slightly above, so be sure to keep an umbrella handy just in case.
