Sunday May 12th - Summer 2013 Forecast Released
BEST OF SPRING AHEAD?
It wouldn't be difficult though would it? but with high pressure making its presence felt, the task of knitting more than two days of fine weather together over the coming week may well be achieved, as May rallies to deliver a Spring-like late surge of pleasantness. However, the silver lining is slightly tarnished with lows north and east of the UK determined to put a spanner in the works but never to the extent of totally ruining everything. So, some decent spells of dry weather to be had for the week ahead and in the sunshine temperatures comfortably into the middle teens, pushing into the late teens, and then deep into the forecast, ambling over the 21/22 Celsius value hump, entering into the low 70's F. That said, watch for some heat across Scotland on Monday.
Sunday May 19th
FAIR SUNDAY
After the drenching across Scotland, Northern Ireland, and northern England on Saturday, a much drier picture nationwide on Sunday with sunny spells dotted across the country, chiefly featuring on the coastlines to west and east across central UK; variable amounts of cloud in general. Temperatures will edge up nicely tomorrow with some warmth being felt, middle teens and upwards for most areas so pleasant enough for the time of year, and more in keeping with the 'norm'. These values aren't a one-off either, with temperatures staying more or less in this zone for the week ahead and possibly edging up further. Winds will be generally light during Sunday bar perhaps the south east where it will be a little more breezy.
Saturday May 18th
HEAVY SHOWERS FOR FRIDAY/WEEKEND OUTLOOK
The potential for some heavy slow moving showers still exists during the latter part of Friday, with South West England in the firing line, along with neighbouring areas to the east and just to the north. Expect a riotous mix with heavy rain, hail, and thunder, which could well give rise to flash flooding as drains possibly struggle with the volume of water delivered deluge style. Also expect some difficult driving conditions on the roads. The weekend sees Saturday rather wet across Scotland, Northern Ireland, and northern England, with a drier picture to the south. Sunday is kinder to a wider area with most of the country relatively dry but rather overcast. Showers most likely across southern quarters on Sunday.
Friday May 17th 2013
ALL EYES ON THE SOUTH WEST
There is the potential during Friday for some heavy rain across the South West of England, indeed, heavy and slow moving, with alot of rain being deposited over a relatively small area. Amounts in the 25 to 35 millimetre bracket are possible which could lead to localised flooding in vulnerable areas, and some difficult driving conditions on the roads. The reach of the storms carrying the rain will most likely encompass Southern Ireland, South West England, and perhaps further north and east, with models currently suggesting the time frame for the arrival on UK shores of activity from late Friday morning onwards. Southern fringes of Wales are also under threat of rain activity but probably to a lesser extent.
