Our great British summer delivered yet more rain today particularly in

central Scotland. 50 mm, two inches of rain fell and that led to

flooding around Perth, for example. There are still a couple of flood

warnings in Tayside. Further south we had heavy, thundery rain. The

racing had to be abandoned and there was a funnel cloud reported

in Suffolk. This zone of downpours stretched across Wales, the

Midlands and East Anglia. To the north the rain is slipping slowly

southwards. All the work would be due to yet another area of low

pressure. -- the rain. The rain clears away from Scotland and moves

into northern England, turning colder in Scotland. Still quite

warm to the south. Tomorrow start cloudy with brain across northern

England slipping into Wales and the Midlands. It becomes lighter and

more patchy, turning showery with the main focus of the show was on

the south-east of England. They will be showers in Northern Ireland

and across Scotland although it will be much drier. Not really any

warmer though because although the winds or a lighter, the wind is

still coming in from a northern direction. Fewer lighter showers

across northern England and although we will see showers we

will not have the downpours we have at the moment. The south-west of

England improving, but we will see a lot of showers in the afternoon

for the south-east possibly thundery. Likely to affect the

cricket. For the golfers we could start with early rain but that

should clear away and then some showers through Thursday and Friday,

probably drawing and Fine on Saturday. The winds should be light

as well. They will be some show us around on Saturday and most of them

should be across central and eastern England, mostly sharp in

the afternoon. Still disappointing temperatures for this time of year.

Into the weekend high pressure is starting to build. Saturday looks

decent but then on Sunday the high get squeezed to the south, low-

pressure swings in freeing some wet, windy weather and a change across

the northern half of the UK. For more than areas Saturday a good day,

some sunshine, Sunday the winds pick up and we get some rain
