Rain and heavy gusts up to 87km/h are set to strike again from Thursday after an unseasonably warm spell. Following Britain’s so-called “Indian summer,” Thursday is expected to see more rain and wind from the south.
According to WXCharts, the UK sees mild conditions from Monday after Sunday’s wet spell, lasting through to Wednesday night.
While temperatures hit 23C at midday on Wednesday, hot pressure in the south brings rain by 9pm.
Showers make landfall around this time, with up to 2mm falling in Plymouth, as well as an isolated spell over the southwest of Scotland.
However, overnight the rain strengthens and begins to spread into Wales and Hampshire, with up to 5mm falling in Cornwall and Bristol by 3am.
By 9am on Thursday, this band of rain will have centralised over England, and have strengthened as it stretches from Belfast over the midlands and north Wales down to Kent.
Spells up to 5mm feature over much of England at this time, with Belfast seeing 3mm and some isolated rainfall over Plymouth and Brighton bringing light showers under 1mm.
At 6am, this weather feature also brings gusts of 87km/h in the Irish Sea, striking Merseyside.
At midday, this band pushes into parts of south Scotland and the north west, with Leeds seeing the heaviest spells of 5mm.
Throughout the evening, the rain band will weaken as it pushed north east over Scotland, with 6pm seeing 2mm showers over Edinburgh and 9pm seeing the last of the downpours in Aberdeen.

Met Office weather forecaster Becky Mitchell told The Sun Online the weather won’t be a “typical Indian summer” from Monday to Wednesday, but temperatures will rise around 4C above average in some places.
She said the temperatures in London will sit around 18C from Thursday to Saturday.
Ms Mitchell said: “The warmer air we are expecting in the middle of this week will originate from northern Africa.
“Temperatures will bit a little above average across the UK this week, with highs of 17-18C each day in the south.
“We can expect to see temperatures reach around 21 Celsius in the south on Thursday as a southerly wind draws up warm air from France.”
Netweather’s Nick Finnis on Friday said: “there is potential next week, particularly Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, for temperatures to reach the low twenties Celsius across southern Britain with sunshine, most likely across SE England and East Anglia.
“However, this will depend on cloud cover, wind strength and potential for showers.”
Ian Simpson also said on Netweather.tv’s website: “Tuesday looks set to be dry and sunny for most, but it will generally turn cloudier during the latter part of next week with some bands of rain especially affecting the south-west, and slowly pushing north-eastwards through other parts of the country by Thursday and Friday.
“Northern Scotland is likely to stay mainly dry from Tuesday onwards, with a ridge of high pressure preventing the rain bands from making much progress through Scotland.
“It will turn cold by night in Scotland around Tuesday and Wednesday with widespread ground frosts developing inland, but otherwise the emphasis will continue to be on above-average temperatures, with potential for some unusually warm nights for the time of year during mid to late next week.”
