ECMWF Has 986mb Low Crossing Scotland A Week Today Bringing Heavy Rain, Gales

While we enjoy summer-like conditions over the next 3-5 days UK-wide, we all know that given the type of summer we’ve had, this ain’t gonna last.

Well it looks as though Sunday will follow in Saturday’s footsteps of a tame, quiet start BUT with that low over SW England which has a nice cold layer over mild and as the sun begins to heat the surface, so that contrast between warm surface and cold aloft grows larger.

Another Soaking Due Wednesday/Thursday Will Be Followed By Summer-like Warmth This Weekend! (Includes Video!)
