Millions of Britons can expect heavy rainfall tomorrow due to a shift in the jet stream. Following a scorching May heatwave with record-breaking temperatures exceeding 35C in some regions, temperatures have now returned to normal for this time of year.
Thunderstorms and rain have already hit many areas, and the Met Office warns that although some dry and bright weather is anticipated early tomorrow, it won’t last long. Meteorologist Aidan McGivern from the Met Office forecasts a new weather system with a stronger and more south-shifted jet stream bringing low pressure on Wednesday.
McGivern stated that rain will sweep across Northern Ireland, Wales, and the South West early Wednesday, affecting rush hour conditions. The wet weather will progress northeastward, dampening central, eastern, and northern England by the afternoon, along with central and southern Scotland.
Despite clearing skies in the afternoon, showers are expected to return to Northern Ireland, northern and central England, and Wales. The Met Office predicts highs of 21C in southern regions and 19C in the north on Wednesday, with similar temperatures throughout the week.
According to the BBC weather forecast, Wednesday will be cloudy and windy with rain moving eastwards and occasional thunder in the north. Thursday will bring a mix of sunshine and heavy showers with a risk of thunderstorms, while Friday is expected to have sunny spells interspersed with showers in the west and north. Saturday’s forecast includes mostly cloudy skies with a chance of light rain in western areas.
