Were you one of the two readers of my weather forecast last week? If so, thank you.
The topsy-turvy summer continues. Two good days in Sunday and Monday but some less good days to follow now. I still remain hopeful for the bank holiday, but don't expect anything warmer than average. Maybe some sun, and maybe a dry day or two. Imperfect but it could be far worse.
Tonight will see heavy rain, possibly torrential with a rumble of thunder possible, any time from midnight through much of tomorrow. It will be showery in nature, with pulses coming from the south - get stuck under one and three hours of heavy, torrential rain is possible, but equally some places will mainly miss out and just get some light rain.
Tuesday, as I said will see this rain at times, getting less heavy during the day, the worst will be in the morning. The cloudiest areas with the heaviest of rain may not see anything higher than 13'C. Get some sunshine at any point then 18'C is possible.
Wednesday sees low pressure approaching from the west, but it should be sunny for most of the day in Reading and may reach 21'C. There will be a band of showers coming from the west, most likely in the evening, some could be heavy.
Thursday sees low pressure somewhere close to Ireland, so lots of showers in bands. The driest sunniest places may reach 20'C, those with regular showers 17'C. You will be lucky to stay dry all day.
Friday sees the low pressure slap bang over the UK, just in time for the weekend! Lots of heavy showers, possibly torrential, thunder possible, and some longer periods of rain also. One or two places may be lucky and stay dry.
Saturday sees the low pressure pulling away, there will be showers still but a few less. Some places may stay dry but still 80% chance of a shower or two. 19'C in any sunshine.
Sunday sees high pressure building, at last! Expect some sunshine, some clouds, 20% chance of a shower which should be fairly light now, 21'C is possible.
Monday, sunny, some clouds, 10% chance of a light shower, 21'C again possible. Rather pleasant, Ibiza preparation weather I feel.
From then on I think high pressure will be close to the UK bringing higher chances of sunny dry weather. Cooler than average perhaps at first but maybe warming up. Sadly all the hot weather has gone east to Russia, like last year, and the sun is not so strong now so if it is going to warm up, it will take a while. Sunny and average will do me though.
The jetstream looks like taking a path up north for a while, with much lower air pressure over Greenland, this might continue. Fingers need to be crossed.
