POTENTIALLY
SEVERE WEATHER OVER THE PERIOD-
Moderate risk
of heavy rain with local thunder in the south on Monday with risk of flash flooding in places
Moderate risk of heavy rain with local thunder in the SW, west &
NW on Thursday with risk of flash flooding and gales in places
WEEKLY SUMMARY
AUGUST WEEK 4 looks like staying rather unsettled for most parts during
the week bringing rather dull & rather showery days with some mist & low cloud too for many, especially to start.
Some periods of very heavy rain are possible in places with thunder. Nevertheless, some reasonably warm days in the south
& east at times but nearer or below average temperatures elsewhere. Over the weekend low pressure looks likely to
still be dominating, so it looks like remaining rather unsettled & rather cool overall for many, with misty nights and
showery days.
Rain
amounts- Generally a lot of showery rain
about esp in the south and SW and the NW and Wales which will mount up quickly, rather drier in the east overall. Heavier
thundery showers or rain may effect especially many south western & central southern areas and Wales early
Monday giving 20-45mm widely and locally 60mm esp on upslopes leading to flash flooding then further heavy rain seems likely
in the west with local gales on Thursday giving another 25-40mm here and nore localised flash flooding is possible. For
rainfall totals for next 6 days -from the day you look- in mm see http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rmgfs144sum.gif
Field and planting information -
locally poor visibilities an issue at times later in the week at night, the west also seeing
low cloud and fog as an issue at first too in places. Increasingly humid & wet weather may give some concerns in terms
of mould, blight and related pests esp in the west and south of the UK and maybe central areas too. Not all areas are likely
to be affected though, the far north & north east escaping the worst of this rain probably.
