THIS WEEKS WEATHER Monday 24th to Sunday 30th September 2012
A very unsettled week will give showers, longer spells of occasionally heavy rain, local thunder and probably also some flooding. Gales could be severe in places for a time, before the weather improves towards the weekend. Here’s your forecast:
Monday: A quite deep depression over the country gives some really wet, cool weather, with heavy rain moving north eventually into central and southern Scotland. Gales are likely in the north, with sunny or clear intervals and blustery showers moving into southern England later. Ireland will be cool with blustery showers.
Tuesday: Still dull, wet, windy and cold over Scotland, with heavy rain at times. Hill snow is even possible. Northern and western parts of Ireland could also be dull and wet for most of the times. England and Wales should be less cool with a mixture of sunny intervals and showers some heavy giving thunder.
Wednesday: Remaining unsettled with generally large amounts of cloud. There will be a few sunny intervals but also further showers. Some could be heavy and blustery especially over England and Wales giving local torrential downpours with thunder. Winds generally though should be somewhat lighter than of late.
Thursday: A further scattering of showers especially over England and Wales some still heavy perhaps giving local thunder. Scotland and Ireland should have only isolated showers with the weather slowly improving as pressure steadily rises.
Friday: Still a few showers in the east and south that locally could be heavy, but as pressure continues to rise you are more likely to get away with a dry day. Scotland and Ireland should be mainly dry with variable cloud and sunny spells. It will be on the cool side though, after a ground frost in places at first.
The Weekend: Perhaps a few showers in the far north-west and the far south-east, but the weekend should be mainly fine and dry. There will be sunny spells although cloud amounts could vary, with pleasantly mild afternoons and cold nights that could give ground frost mostly in the north.
