Britain will be blasted by a massive 397-mile rain bomb in hours as the latest weather maps turn a rainbow colour, indicating the possibility of wet conditions on Tuesday, June 3. According to the WXCharts weather maps, unsettled conditions will hit areas from Edinburgh to Cardiff with the temperature levels plummeting to around just six degrees Celsius.
The rain showers come as the Met Office revealed that the UK experienced one of its driest ever springs on record. According to the Met Office, England was particularly dry, experiencing its driest spring since 1893. Wales saw its sixth driest spring – but now weather forecasters are predicting a deluge to drench Britain in a matter of hours.
According to the Met Office, a band of wind and rain will move steady east overnight, while blustery showers will sweep in from the north and west, with some becoming locally heavy. Winds will intensify, bringing coastal gales to these regions.
From Tuesday, rainy conditions will move across England during the morning, with blustery showers elsewhere, the Met Office has suggested. The weather is likely to remain windy, particularly in the north, and feeling cooler than recent days.
Jo Farrow, a meterologist with Netweather.tv wrote in her blog: “An unseasonably deep low pressure will bring heavy rain from the west this evening.
“There will be strengthening southerly winds, with gales for exposed Scottish coasts as a spell of wet and windy weather passes over the UK tonight. It will be a blustery day on Tuesday with plenty of showers following as the main frontal rain takes its time to move over England by day.”
