Monthly Summary
Quite wet at first but gradually settling down.
August got off to a very wet start for most parts of the UK. A weather system moved through bringing around 50mm of rain to some parts.
It also brought a fresher feel to things after a very muggy end to July. Low pressure dominated the weather in the first few days of the month, bringing a disappointing weekend to many.
Looking out into the Atlantic, further systems are heading our way and there's plenty more rain to come.
Monday 04 August 2008 to Sunday 10 August 2008
“Cool and wet.”
As one low moves away towards Scandinavia the next low is gaining momentum in the Atlantic.
Monday looks like a reasonable day of sunny spells and scattered, mainly light, showers with a north-westerly breeze. Later in the day the next Atlantic low will bring wind, rain, hill and coastal fog to the southwest of England.
These conditions will spread across the rest of England, Wales, Northern Ireland and later southern Scotland during the day on Tuesday, with humid conditions in the south. The low is still with us on Wednesday, which will bring further rain or showers for many parts of the UK.
Thursday sees the low moving off the northeast coast of Scotland, bringing a windy day for all. Northerly winds will bring a cool feel to things with persistent rain in northern Scotland. Elsewhere, there will be sunny spells and blustery showers.
As the low continues to pull away a transient ridge of high pressure will bring a brief respite for Friday but developing systems in the Atlantic will probably bring more rain for the coming weekend.
Monday 11 August 2008 to Sunday 17 August 2008
"A wet week."
A low pressure system centred in the northern North Sea with higher pressure in the south of the UK will maintain cyclonic conditions.
The resultant north-westerly winds will bring a cool feel to things and also some rain. A wet week is expected for all areas, but the wettest conditions are likely in more eastern parts of the UK.
With pressure continuing to rise in the south, a drier and brighter end to the week is expected. Sunshine amounts and temperatures are likely to be at best average for the time of year. Rainfall is expected to exceed the seasonal average.
Monday 18 August 2008 to Sunday 31 August 2008
“Settling down.”
The Azores high continues to build from the south, settling things down. Some rain is still likely, but only what might be expected for the time of year.
Temperatures and sunshine amounts will also be near the seasonal average but there could be some relatively cool nights in the south.
Het lijkt er op dat dit inderdaad het weerbeeld gaat worden, iets waar ik erg blij mee ben. Tegen het einde van augustus lijkt het dus allemaal wat rustiger te worden met wat hogere temperaturen. Naja, we zien wel.
