Britons should brace themselves for a challenging weather week ahead, as the Met Office has issued warnings of brisk winds reaching up to 60 mph and substantial rainfall across various regions.
Further downpours are expected, following a week marked by significant flooding and chaos, particularly in Birmingham.
Forecasts indicate a 200-mile wall of rain will affect parts of England and Scotland, with the potential for wind speeds to hit 60 mph, as reported by the Express.
This weather event marks a notable shift in the season, signaling the official end of summer. Jason Kelly, chief meteorologist at the Met Office, noted that Sunday, September 29, would usher in more wet and windy conditions, particularly across the southern half of the UK.
Rain is projected to sweep into western areas throughout the day, reaching the Midlands by dusk. Residents can expect a cloudy Monday with widespread rain, further complicating travel and outdoor plans.
Looking ahead, the forecast for Tuesday through Thursday indicates continued windy conditions, with additional rain expected in the east on Tuesday.
However, the rest of the week may bring some relief, as drier and brighter conditions are anticipated elsewhere. Wednesday and Thursday should be largely dry with sunny spells after any morning fog dissipates, although temperatures will remain on the chilly side.
Stay tuned for further updates as the weather evolves, and ensure you take precautions if you’re in areas likely to experience severe conditions.
