UK weather: Exact date heavy rain and thunder will stop leaving clear skies and sunshine – but it won’t last long
THIS is the exact date Brits can expect clear skies and sunshine, waving goodbye to heavy rain and thunderstorms.
While the Met Office forecasts stormy conditions for much of England and Wales today – a brighter outlook is on the horizon.
Wet and wild weather will continue throughout the day after a clear and dry start for much of the UK.
Those in Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England can expect more sunny spells between intermittent downpours.
Meanwhile, temperatures will remain mild for most, with highs of 20C in London and the south east by 1.pm.
Thundery conditions are set to affect most of England and Wales tonight, with blustery winds hitting the north west and Scotland.
But, Brits can look forward to sunshine and clear skies on Tuesday across most the UK.
The stormy weather is set to clear, although some light and scattered patches of rain will move eastwards across Britain.
Temperatures will hover at around 15C in the north, with the south east coast due to experience highs of 18C by the afternoon.
Chilly breezes are forecast to be felt in northern Scotland, where lows of 12C are predicted.
Met Office meteorologists suggest this weather pattern will continue into the rest of the week, with warmer conditions arriving by Friday.
“Temperatures are likely to be above average for many, especially so in the south where some unusually warm temperatures for October are possible,” added a Met Office spokesperson.
“These temperatures are likely to trend downward toward middle of the month, with the northwest-southeast split also slowly becoming less distinct as the weather becomes generally more changeable.”
This comes after the UK was battered by heavy rain, strong winds and flooding as Storm Agnes wreaked havoc last week.
The first named storm of the season drummed up a high of 79mph winds in Capel Curig, a village in Wales, on Wednesday night
Agnes triggered a series of Met Office yellow weather warnings for wind and rain across the UK, with forecasts of damaging winds and big stormy seas.
