We will be need our raincoats as we head into May
Forecasters at the BBC are predicting a miserable latter part of the month with six days of straight rain set to drench London. The offending days are Wednesday, April 22 to Monday, April 27.
Some days see drizzle while others will see rain, but either way we’ll be needing umbrellas as we head to May. WXCharts also predicts bad weather too.
The map shows that it will be wet in London at noon on Monday, April 27. The heaviness of the rainfall is consistent with the shading on the map.
The gradient for that date and time means that 0.1mm per hour is scheduled to fall. But hope is not lost as The Met Office’s long range forecast predicts some good weather. It says that eastern areas, which London covers, ‘may well see plenty of dry weather.’
However the national forecaster cannot be more granular than that as it’s day-to-day forecast doesn’t stretch that far ahead. Before we head into the wet weather the elements will be mixed, with cloud, rain, and sun.
Sunday, April 19, until Tuesday, April 22, are our best bets for good weather, with ‘sunny intervals and a gentle breeze,’ forecast as temperatures will hover around the 16C and 17C mark.
