Day 21 - Wet in the east.

day 21 winds



A miserable day is in store for many eastern parts of England and Scotland today as the weather front that moved in from the west yesterday stalls across these areas. This means further outbreaks of rain are likely throughout the day, and some of this will be heavy at times too.

We have a Weather Watch out for eastern Scotland and northeast England, as there really could be some prolonged spells of rain today and tomorrow, with totals approaching or exceeding 50mm in parts by the end of tomorrow.

Meanwhile, for the rest of Britain and Ireland it will be a brighter picture with some decent sunny spells around. However, heavy showers towards the southwest will become more widespread over these parts during today, and there could be some hail, thunder and torrential downpours associated with these. Winds will be somewhat lighter here today, but fresh or strong south-easterly winds are likely towards eastern parts with that rain.

The rain continues in the northeast tonight, with further heavy falls and the totals adding up. Other areas will be drier, but heavy and thundery showers will continue towards the south and west.

Looking into tomorrow, and that rain will slowly clear away from the northeast, then we're into a mixture of sunshine and showers. This continues on Friday, before more wet and windy weather looks set to greet the weekend...
