All Rather NormalAdded : Sunday at 14:15 In one way or another August has been a very busy month what with the heatwave giving way to severe thunderstorms, then a couple of named Atlantic storms followed by some rather chilly conditions for this weekend. It's because of this that you won't hear too many complaints from meteorologists about the coming weeks' weather with a more normal pattern returning.
Tuesday sees the start of meteorological autumn and September in recent years has often delivered a fair amount of pleasant weather with some very warm days, but will that be the case this year?
The new month gets off on a reasonable note with a ridge of high pressure holding on for many places bringing plenty of fine and dry weather:
However, the far north and west will be cloudier and breezier with the risk of some rain and drizzle moving in off the Atlantic:
Out over the mid-Atlantic will be the remnants of ex-Hurricane Laura as she tracks north-eastwards, but most of the remnants will stay away from Britain and Ireland. The biggest impact is likely to come in the form of rising temperatures as some of the tropical air still wrapped up within the remnants spreads across the country:
A band of rain will also head east, accompanied by brisk winds but nothing like what last week brought with most places just seeing a bog-standard band of rain passing through:
In the wake of this system will come a cooler, fresher air mass and westerly winds:
These winds will bring scattered showers to the north and west, but nothing like the cool and showery conditions that affected central and eastern regions yesterday:
All in all, very typical weather conditions for our part of the world and a much more normal week coming up despite the potential influence from ex-hurricane Laura.
