A massive 400-mile rain bomb is likely to blast parts of the UK in days, with areas from Aberdeen to Kingston upon Hull to remain drenched. Weather maps from forecaster WXCharts show that unsettled conditions will begin to hit the country on Thursday, July 31.
Maps show that 14 cities in the country will be impacted by the wet weather, with temperatures oscillating between 14 and 15C during the day. Areas such as Cardiff and Southampton in the southern parts of the country are among the cities which are likely to experience the heaviest rainfall. In Scotland, cities such as Aberdeen, Perth and Edinburgh are likely to see the rainy weather, the maps have suggested.
According to the Met Office, the weather is expected to be quite unpredictable over the coming days. It will begin with average temperatures, but things will start to feel more humid, especially as the week progresses. This increased moisture in the air could lead to thunderstorms and heavy rain, particularly later in the week.
The National Weather Agency stated that while the start might feel relatively normal, be prepared for a shift to sticky, stormy conditions. A mix of sun, clouds, and sudden downpours might be on the cards.
Nick Finnis, from Netweather.tv, wrote in the weather blog: “Thursday and Friday currently forecast to turn more unsettled and cooler for a time, as low pressure moves southeast close or over northern UK, with weather fronts spreading showers southeastwards across many parts, perhaps heavy and thundery in places.
“Winds turning more northwesterly or even northerly by Friday, bringing cooler air, though it may turn drier across the west, as high pressure nudges in here.”
