The Met Office has issued a warning for thunderstorms this weekend following a wet and miserable start to the week in the North West. From Sunday, April 28 to Tuesday, May 7, an ‘uncertain’ but likely ‘unsettled’ period is expected due to a frontal system moving north across the UK. Strong winds, coastal gales, and showery weather with potential thunderstorms are predicted for Sunday and Monday. Low-pressure patterns will result in wet weather in the south and southeast, while all parts of the country may experience some rain. Temperatures will be slightly above average, but cooler interludes are possible. As we move into May, the north may see drier conditions, while the south is expected to have a higher chance of rain.
