Met Office Thursday Morning Weather Forecast 23/05/2024

A very good morning to you on this wet Thursday. Rain continues across many parts of the country today after the wet day we saw yesterday. Rainfall totals continue to rise and there's an amber warning until lunchtime across North Wales, northwest England as well as southern Pennines. Low pressure sits across the country. It's slow moving, hence the reason why the weather remains so wet and quite a breeze coming down the western side of the country as well. Eventually this low will and that means an improving picture through Friday and into Saturday as temperatures recover a little bit. But for the time being it's a wet start to the day across much of Scotland and that driving wind pushing down towards Northern Ireland. Some rain towards the eastern side of Northern Ireland persists across northern and central parts of Wales, northern counts of England. To the South of that it's a mostly dry morning. The cloud will break at times. You may even see a glimmer of sunshine as temperatures rise. However that won't be the case across the northern 2/3 of the UK. A notice yet again, some heavy pulses of rain. Churning around the centre of this So yet again we'll see surface water issues. Some roads could be flooded, obviously swollen rivers and with deep water the risk of strong currents as well. So through the afternoon not a lot of change for most of Scotland, northern England, northern parts of Wales and again that strong wind making it feel rather calm. For the western side of Northern Ireland you may see the sun. It is going to be a bit drier here. It will be the case across the South Midlands. Southwards here temperatures around 18/19/20 Celsius but remaining fairly depressed further north with the rain which will continue into evening time. Now we should lose the intensity of the rain overnight on Thursday and into Friday morning as the winds ease a little bit. Going to be a relatively mild night where you see the cloud persist, but some clearer skies towards more southern areas, temperatures dipping down to 9°C here, as well as clearer skies across the western side of Northern Ireland. Yes, yet again, single figures here now through Friday morning. The legacy of cloud will continue to produce some patchy rain and drizzle, and if you're driving over the high routes there will be a lot of low clouds, so poor visibility. Some brighter weather towards the West Country, central southern England. The cloud could break one or two showers cropping up through the afternoon on Friday, but they'll be fairly scattered as temperatures rise around 17/18/19 Celsius. And your outlook into the weekend Saturday is looking drier and also warmer, the cloud coming and going, an increasing chance of seeing some showers on Sunday. See you later.
