A new weather map released by the Met Office indicates that Storm Bert is still causing trouble in the UK. Following severe flooding in various parts of the country and with 200 flood warnings in effect, more rain is expected. Fortunately, the map shows that London will mostly escape the rain, aside from a few showers. However, the north and west regions of the country are facing heavy rainfall, especially in Scotland, which is almost entirely covered by rainclouds on the map. The west of Ireland, as well as large areas of Wales, the South West, Lancashire, and West Yorkshire, are also expected to be affected.
Looking ahead to tomorrow in London, the weather is forecasted to be relatively mild and clear throughout the day, with a minimal chance of rain (less than 5 percent). Clouds are expected to clear out by 5am, and the skies should remain clear until 8pm, with temperatures reaching highs of 10C and lows of 5C. Despite the strong winds brought by Storm Bert in London, wind speeds are predicted to decrease gradually, from around 7mph during the night to 6mph during the day, and further dropping to 2mph by the evening. The Met Office anticipates a rise in temperatures as the week progresses, with highs of 13C expected on the upcoming weekend and lows of 10C and 9C on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
Throughout the week, temperatures are projected to increase gradually, with a slight dip on Wednesday (highs of 8C and lows of 3C). The week is expected to be mostly overcast with cloudy days, but generally dry, except for a few showers on Wednesday.
In terms of other weather forecasts, BBC Weather aligns with the Met Office’s predictions but suggests slightly cooler temperatures for the weekend, with highs of only 9C and lows of 3C on Saturday, and highs of 8C and lows of 3C on Sunday. Both sources agree on the possibility of showers on Wednesday, although BBC Weather believes that Thursday will be the coldest day of the week, rather than Wednesday.
