Drier Days Ahead But Still Some ShowersAdded : Saturday at 14:30 You probably don't need us to tell you that we are on track for one of the wettest autumns on record with half of November still to go. Figures do vary across the country depending on your location, but for some central regions in particular, autumn 2019 is already going down in the record books as being the wettest on record.
So are there any signs of a proper let-up to the exceptionally wet weather? In short, the answer is no, but the next few days will be drier than of late so this will provide some much needed respite for the flood-hit communities.
Here's the forecast synoptic chart for Sunday:
On the face of it, it looks rather changeable with weather fronts straddled across the country, but these fronts are much weaker affairs, bringing showers rather than prolonged spells of rain. Notwithstanding that however, some of those showers will still have the potential to be quite heavy at times:
By Sunday night though, most of those showers will have died back to northern and eastern coasts:
Clearing skies and lighter winds will bring the risk of fog and frost to much of the north and west, but towards the south and east it won't be as chilly due to more cloud and breeze. This cloud and breeze is associated with low pressure over Germany:
This system brings the risk of rain to the extreme east of England on Monday, but elsewhere it should be mainly dry and bright:
It's a similar story as we head into Tuesday, although some rain may move into the west by then:
This rain is in advance of the next Atlantic low edging ever closer and latest model guidance suggests that low pressure will slowly drift close to the south and southwest from the middle of the week, bringing with it the risk of further rain at times across central and southern regions of the country:
Overall, the coming week is set to be drier than last week for many places, but there's still no sign of high pressure developing over the country to bring a more prolonged drier and settled spell of weather.
