While the rest of Europe continues dealing with heatwaves, wildfires, and extremely hot weather, the month of July has seen UK weather take a chillier turn.
Brits have had to go back to putting on layers and carrying their umbrella wherever they go despite being in the middle of the summer season.
So, everyone has been wondering: when will the weather get better?
Here is everything we know about what you can expect from the weather in August.
When is the weather going to get better?
The first week of August will be more of the same, with a high of 23C degrees and a low of 13C degrees, according to the Met Office.
While the sun may show its face through the clouds every now and then, windy and rainy conditions with lots of clouds will still be the norm.
No signs of summer just yet as another deep area of low pressure tracks its way to the UK by Wednesday

The second half of the month, however, might see bursts of drier and possibly warmer days.
The Met Office says: “Some shorter-lived periods of drier, more settled weather are also likely, particularly later in the month.
“These may bring some warmer days, however, any prolonged dry and hot spells appear to be unlikely.”
So, while the rainy weather might become more manageable, another heatwave hitting the UK before the end of summer seems to not be on the cards.
Why was the weather so bad throughout July?
According to the Met Office, the bad weather Brits have experienced this summer is the result of a series of low-pressure systems above the UK, which have been held in place by a “blocked weather pattern”.
Normally, this pressure that comes from the Atlantic is to the north of the country during the summer and to the south in winter, but throughout July, it stubbornly remained to the south of the nation, bringing with it the miserable weather.
