UK Heatwave Over...Here Comes The Rain

[gmb45]

The heatwave is officially over after thunder storms and heavy rain were forecast to deluge Britain over the next few days.

Rain and thunder storms are expected to soak the UK this week after the heatwave

The high pressure which caused tropical temperatures of more than 30C is being ousted by a low pressure front moving in from the west.

Much of the western half of the UK will experience rain and showers today as temperatures plummet from the recent highs.

The rain is set to lessen but temperatures will stay low for the rest of the week.

But forecasters believe sports fans flocking to Sophia Gardens in Cardiff for the start of the Ashes tussle between England and Australia on Wednesday should see a fair amount of play.

A spokesman for MeteoGroup the weather division of the Press Association said: "Unfortunately it does seem to be the case that the heatwave is over.

"All the hot and dry weather was down to high pressure, but we will now see low pressure moving in from the west bringing rain and forcing temperatures to fall."

He said the forecast for the next few days would be unsettled and rainy, with the possibility of thunder storms turning up anywhere in the UK.

The weather will settle down towards the middle of the week before with rain again expected to fall over the weekend.

The spokesman added: "Luckily those going to the cricket should see a lot of play.

"Rain is forecast to fall in Cardiff tomorrow but it will be replaced with drier conditions by the time the cricket is due to start."

if you look at the pseassure map you will notice a ridge of high preassure building from the west,the low preassure that is sitting to the west of it will fill thus bringing in warmer air from the southern half of the northern atlantic brinning hot and humid air to most parts of the uk by the weekend.although it may not be as hot as last week it will still be warmer than we should be at this time of year.
