Heavy rain likely over northwest, central England by Sunday

New Delhi, The Atlantic front will bring wet and windy weather and some heavy downpour for the west of Scotland by Sunday morning. This rainfall would move south during the day and reach central Britain in the afternoon. Though, the eastern parts of England would escape the rain as very little of it would reach here. The gusty Southwesterly winds would be developing in the most areas during the day.

The weekend is expected to be cool but the south of England will stay dry and see some sunshine as a ridge of high pressure building from the west and then sinks south to central Europe. However, a few showers would lash the northwest on Saturday drying out later in the day. The sky remain clear and with light winds over the south, gardeners are warned to beware of the risk of ground frost by Sunday morning.

The persistent heavy rain that has submerged northern and western Britain is now turning more showery as the low pressure area gradually fills and moves south. The showers have mainly happened over the south on Wednesday with a slowly drying out process over northern England.

During the next twenty four to forty eight hours, the low pressure area will be down over France and the Netherlands with very little shower over UK. A rather cloudy day and cool gentle northwest winds. An approaching Atlantic front will brings increasing clouds across the northwest region and some patchy light rain to western Scotland later in the day turning, a little more consistent by the evening.

A fairly narrow band of showers would happen over the southeast region by late afternoon as the weakening front would move in these parts. The weather is mainly clear but the northwest and especially western England would receive showers. Heavy showers are also expected at a few places for the western Highlands with a little snow over the highest tops.
