Tomorrow, while the south-east of England is set to experience a return of heatwave conditions with temperatures potentially reaching 35-36C, other regions in the UK are anticipating heavy rainfall. The Met Office has forecast significantly cooler conditions for Northern Ireland and Scotland, where temperatures are expected to peak at 18C and 20C respectively, falling short of the heatwave threshold.
In addition to the contrasting weather patterns, a band of heavy rain is forecasted to move across northern parts of the UK, possibly turning thundery at times. Met Office forecaster Alex Burkill highlighted the persistence of rain over Scotland and Northern Ireland, warning of heavy downpours that could accumulate in certain areas.
Weather maps from the Met Office indicate that 30 counties in Northern Ireland and Scotland are at risk of these potentially intense showers. BBC Weather’s outlook for Wednesday aligns with these predictions, hinting at rainy spells in western regions. The forecast anticipates the clearing of rain from northern areas, giving way to sunshine and warmth in the south, albeit with the possibility of sporadic showers in the far west.
Looking ahead to the remainder of the week, BBC Weather projects sunny intervals with occasional showers for most areas on Thursday, while Scotland may experience heavy, locally thundery showers moving northward. Friday is expected to bring sunshine across most regions, yet scattered showers are probable in the north.
