September is set to start with a dump of heavy rain for many Brits.
Weather maps by Netweather show a deluge heading for the British Isles on September 1 and persisting into September 2.
Rains heading from Europe will travel northward and hit England and Wales, according to the forecaster.
Scotland will largely avoid the worst of the weather on September 1 but that’ll change over the 24 hours to follow.
According to the maps, the heaviest of the rain on September 1 will be in the southeast of England.
Wales and the southwest are likely to avoid the worst of the conditions, as will Northern Ireland.
However, come September 2 torrential rain will fall over northern Wales, northern England, Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland.
Met Office experts also forecasted a more rainy weather for the beginning of September.
Met Office meteorologist Alex Burkill said: “On Sunday showers look like they could become a bit more widespread, with the greatest chance of some thundery downpours in eastern parts of the UK but they could spread a little further west into central areas too. It’s worth noting these thundery downpours could be impactful, we could see some intense rain, hail and gusty winds.”
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Dan Harris said that in between breaks of cloud, temperatures could surge close to 30C early next week.
He explained: “The forecast later this weekend and into the early part of next week comes with larger uncertainties than average, due to the complex interaction of a number of volatile, small scale weather features over and around the UK.
