Just a few days post the flash floods causing chaos in a town in Scotland, the Met Office has indicated that the deluge is not likely to alleviate anytime soon. This follows the yellow weather alerts issued across the UK, signaling intensive bouts of rain.

While the yellow weather warning ended on Monday, May 13th, experts cautioned that rapid or deep floods could pose a potentially lethal threat. However, the weather outlook is not entirely grim.

The weather forecast for Tuesday, May 14th, estimates a majorly dry and bright spell across the northern expanse, along with peeks of sunshine and showers across the southern and western territories. In other areas, the skies will turn cloudy with episodes of rain becoming heavy in certain areas.

From Wednesday to Friday, the weather will alternate between sunshine and showers. The showers will sometimes be heavy, with sporadic stretches of continuous rainfall. The temperature is expected to drop closer to the average scale.

From Saturday, May 18th to Monday, May 27th, showers will progressively appear across the UK, extending throughout the week and over the weekend.

The temperature will typically range around or a tad above average. However, with light winds, the warmer areas will still feel pleasantly warm. Over the weekend, the north is likely to experience a relief from showers with drier, more stable conditions possibly setting in.

Predictions for the upcoming week exhibit mixed signals causing lower assurance. Overall, showers in the south are likely to persist, while the north might continue to enjoy relatively drier weather. Temperatures are most likely going to remain slightly above average.
