A large low-pressure system is expected to move in from the Atlantic next week, bringing with it windy conditions across parts of the UK. Alongside these gusty winds, heavy rainfall is likely in certain western regions, although eastern areas might remain relatively dry. Many regions in England and Wales that are currently experiencing drought, where much-needed rain is still absent, may continue to see minimal precipitation throughout the upcoming week.
Before the wind and rain arrive, temperatures are set to rise temporarily, with some parts of southeast England possibly experiencing warmth exceeding typical averages, reaching into the low 20s Celsius. This brief spell of warmth will precede a return to more usual weather patterns.
Following recent unseasonably warm weather, particularly in southern areas, a weak front brought cooler air to Scotland and Northern Ireland on Friday, while southern England and south Wales retained warm and humid conditions. Over the weekend, temperatures should settle back to what is typical for late September, ranging roughly between 15°C and 21°C from north to south. Although the weather will feel pleasantly warm during sunny intervals, showers are expected mostly in western areas on Saturday, followed by more widespread rainfall across many parts of the UK on Sunday.
Looking ahead to next week, there are no indications of another spell of unseasonable warmth. While the first half of the week may feature some warm and sunny days, the overall weather pattern is destined to be quite variable. Northern and western regions, in particular, could experience occasional rain alongside gustier conditions. Rainfall is expected primarily over Scotland, Northern Ireland, and parts of western England and Wales, with many areas in central and eastern England likely to remain dry.
This September has already seen a stark contrast in rainfall distribution across the UK. For example, north-west Scotland has received well above average precipitation, with some locations such as Achnagart in Highland recording rain for 27 consecutive days and reaching 146% of the typical September total. In contrast, eastern England has been notably dry, with places like Bridlington in East Yorkshire having experienced just 11% of the expected rainfall for the month so far.
Overall, while low-pressure systems will deliver some rain in the coming days, the heaviest and most significant rainfall is forecast to remain in the northern and western UK, leaving eastern areas relatively dry as drought conditions continue to persist there
