What Happened
The UK weather forecast indicates a week of unusually mild temperatures accompanied by a mix of sunshine and occasional rain. Today begins with bright patches of sunshine, although scattered showers are also expected. As the day progresses, thicker clouds will move in from the southwest, bringing rain that will spread across much of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Scotland and northeast England are likely to experience better conditions for a longer period.
Why It Matters
As the evening approaches, cloud and rain will continue to move northeast, leading to dull and misty conditions, particularly over higher ground where low cloud may create areas of hill fog and drizzle. Flood alerts and warnings are currently in place in Oxfordshire due to persistent heavy rainfall over the past month, which has affected many parts of England. The Environment Agency advises residents to prepare for potential flooding and stay updated on the situation.
What’s Next
Looking ahead, Tuesday will start off grey and damp for many, but central and southern areas may see some improvement with breaks in the cloud allowing for sunshine. Midweek will bring rain to the north and west, while the southeast can expect a drier day with pleasant sunshine. By Thursday, conditions are expected to become wetter and windier across the country, leading to a cooler feel on Friday with a mix of sunny intervals and scattered showers.
