As the UK prepares for the changing of the guard in Parliament, it seems that Mother Nature has decided to make her presence known. Today, as the General Election results pour in, the forecast calls for rain. And not just a light drizzle, but a full-on downpour. It's almost as if the weather is reflecting the intense and unpredictable nature of the election itself.
Despite the gloomy forecast, it looks like Sir Keir Starmer and the Labour party may come out victorious. This would be a landmark victory for them, but unfortunately it means that Sir Keir may have to give his first speech as Prime Minister in the pouring rain. On the other hand, if the Tories manage to defy the odds and win, we may see a repeat of Rishi Sunak's soaking when he announced the election date six weeks ago.
It's not uncommon for big events in the UK to be accompanied by less-than-ideal weather, but it seems that this time, the Met Office is really going all out. They're predicting heavy rain across the south for most of the day, with a chance of it returning in the evening. But don't worry, the rest of Britain will also get a taste of the classic British summer, with scattered showers and even some snow and ice in the far reaches of Scotland.
In London, there's always something interesting happening. Today, a prison officer is making headlines for allegedly having sex with an inmate, while military horses are causing a stir as they bolt through the streets after throwing off their riders. And in a disturbing incident, a man has been filmed ripping headscarves off Muslim women. Stay up to date with all the latest news on The Agency's London news hub.
In Scotland, it's not just the rain that people have to worry about. Strong winds are also expected, thanks to a "strong jet stream in the Atlantic". This jet stream is also responsible for the cooler temperatures that most of the UK has been experiencing this week. But fear not, there is still some sunshine to be found, particularly in the south where temperatures may feel quite pleasant.
Looking ahead to the weekend, the forecast remains unsettled. While there is some sunshine to be enjoyed, there will also be showers, some of which may be heavy with the possibility of hail or thunder. It looks like most areas will also be feeling a bit breezy, with the potential for strong winds in the southeast of England. So grab your raincoat and umbrella, and be prepared for whatever Mother Nature decides to throw our way.
