After weeks of sunshine and dry skies, the weather’s taking a turn—and it’s not looking pretty for parts of southwest England, Wales, and the northwest. A yellow weather warning for heavy rain has been issued, with the Met Office warning that things could get rather soggy from midday Tuesday through to Wednesday noon.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist Matthew Lehnert explained that the bright, settled conditions are being pushed out as low pressure moves in from the west. “After a long spell of high pressure bringing dry weather and sunshine, gloomier and unsettled conditions are on the horizon,” he said. “Low pressure has become established to the west of the UK bringing cloud, rain showers, and lower temperatures for many.”
