The Met Office has responded to claims of a 600-mile rainstorm hitting UK in late August, saying it's unlikely to have had a stable weather forecast this early on. A storm warning has circulated in UK media, but the Met Office says the reality is less certain and far more measured. What does that mean?
Reports of a massive rainstorm sweeping across the UK at the end of August have spread widely in recent days. The Daily Express cited data from WXCharts, claiming that a 403-mile-long band of rain would hit major cities including Belfast, Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, London, Cardiff and Bristol on 28 August.
