The rain is slightly behind schedule this morning but it is now building and drifting in from the SW.
WEDNESDAY A horrid morning as some kids head back to school with heavy rain at times. The rain will become showery into the afternoon so some bright spells in between and becoming breezy. Feeling quite muggy and a mild night. Max 20°C Min 15°C Max Gusts 25mph
Things could get wet and very windy in a week's time. The good news is, it's a week away, so very much subject to change. Autumn is here.
Summer 2026 is provisionally the UK’s warmest summer on record with the season’s mean temperature made around 130 times more likely due to human-induced climate change. Here, we delve into the numbers 🧵
MATCH FORECAST ⚽ Fleetwood Town FC v Oldham Athletic Increasingly cloudy with a chance of light rain. Becoming windy too. Mild. 17°C #oafc
TUESDAY Bright spells and a few scattered showers but most places dry. Make the most of it with rain returning on Wednesday and lots of it. Feeling warm in any sunshine. Breezy. Max 20°C Min 13°C Max Gusts 20mph
Still some sunshine hanging on in the east. Otherwise it is now clouding over from the west.
A few showers still possible, otherwise it's a much better afternoon so get off that couch, get the washing out and the lawns cut. 😝
The downpours are slow-moving so a risk of some surface-flooding. All moving ESE. Chance of a thundery one. ⛈️
We have a clump of showers moving southeast this morning.
🌧️ August is now the 2nd wettest month of 2026 with 80mm. Half of that has fallen in the last 4 days (inc. today).
BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY Bright spells and showers. Some heavy again and possibly thundery but more scattered than Sunday afternoon. Windy too which will help the showers push on through. A little fresher. Max 18°C Min 11°C Max Gusts 30mph
Latest radar. Some more downpours coming up from the SSW. Unlikely to be thundery but can't be ruled out.
⚠️ Weather warning issued for #thunderstorms ⚠️ ⏰ 11am to the end of Sunday 🌊 Risk of flash-flooding and frequent lightning and hail. Not a good afternoon to be on a golf course 👀⛈️
SUNDAY Bright spells and the odd shower for the morning. Then showers becoming more widespread into the afternoon and it's highly likely that we will see a few showers turn thundery with torrential downpours. Humid. Breezy at times. Max 20°C Min 13°C Max Gusts 20mph
Widespread rain out there on the radar, but nowhere near as bad as expected.
It's a humid weekend with dew points into the mid-teens. No good for golf in waterproofs. 🥵
SATURDAY 🌧️ A cloudy start and it might be dry briefly, but a few spots of rain will arrive during the morning and then more persistent rain will arrive for the afternoon then turning patchy into the evening. A little muggy and a mild night. Max 18°C Min 15°C Max Gusts 15mph
MATCH FORECAST ⚽ Oldham Athletic v Swindon Town FC It's a grim one I'm afraid with rain at times, some of it heavy. A little muggy. 18°C #oafc
Lovely squall-line moving slowly SE. Some torrential downpours and possibly gusty winds for a short period of time as it moves through.
