Heavy rain has caused significant disruption to travel across southern parts of England and Wales, with over half a month’s worth of rain falling in some places. Exeter recorded 34.6mm of rainfall in 24 hours, compared to a September average of 60.3mm. St Catherine’s Point in the Isle of Wight experienced two thirds of its monthly average during the same period. Although persistent rain will ease in the south over the weekend, it will be replaced by heavy showers. Elsewhere in the UK, the weather is looking drier and brighter with a bit of warmth.
Heavy rain led to problems with road, train, and air travel across the south-east of England on Thursday. The rain was associated with an area of low pressure located across Europe that will move closer to the UK over the weekend. Low pressure, where air ascends in the atmosphere, is typically linked to the most unsettled weather of wind and rain. On Saturday, an improvement is anticipated for the south of England, but with the possibility of a few showers before they turn heavier and more frequent in the evening. While an occasional shower further north will be dry with sunny spells, temperatures could rise to the low to mid-20s.
As the area of low pressure moves further north in the UK by Sunday, the risk of showers will be more widespread across the UK. While there will be some spells of sunshine at times, it is not expected to be a washout. Early next week will be mainly dry across much of the UK, but low pressure will gradually become the dominant weather pattern again. As it moves into the north of Scotland, a north to north-westerly breeze will increase bringing scattered showers that will predominantly affect western areas, resulting in temperatures dropping below seasonal averages
