Don't forget to grab your umbrella before heading out today. The weather in the UK can be quite unpredictable, and it seems like Bank Holiday Monday will be no exception. The day is expected to start off with a downpour before clearing up just in time for the start of the work week.
According to forecasters, some parts of the country will reach a pleasant 20°C this week, even surpassing the temperatures in sunny Corfu, Greece. However, until then, we can expect intermittent showers for about 12 hours. The southern regions, especially London, will bear the brunt of the rain, with the Met Office predicting rain to start around 7:30 am.
Craig Snell, a meteorologist from the national weather service, shared with the Evening Standard, "It's going to be a bit of a wet picture for London tomorrow, especially in the south and then into Kent and Sussex. If you're an early riser, you might catch a bit of sunshine in the morning, but don't be fooled, the rain will make its way to us."
The capital is expected to see around 8mm of rain in just one hour, while the West Midlands might experience up to 30mm. The temperatures will reach a mere 14°C, making it quite chilly for outdoor activities. The Met Office's forecast for the day warns of sunny spells and heavy showers with the occasional rumble of thunder. However, the southeast will experience persistent and heavy rain.
But there is hope for some sunshine later in the week. Tomorrow, the north will remain cloudy, but most areas will see sunny spells throughout the day. And to add to the good news, we can expect some warmth too, with temperatures reaching 19°C in the northeast and 17-18°C in the south. Northern Ireland and eastern Scotland will peak at 11°C.
To add some excitement, the weather maps are showing shades of orange and red for later this week, with temperatures reaching a sizzling 25°C. The Met Office predicts largely dry and sunny weather, with some cloud coverage. However, there might be some rain in parts of Northern Ireland and northern Scotland on Wednesday. Overall, it'll be warm and pleasant in the sunshine.
