You probably don’t need us to tell you it’s been a wet month 👀🌧 . So we thought we’d show you. . This map shows how much rain has fallen in June so far! . Some places have seen TWICE the average for the WHOLE month ALREADY. . The end of this week looks a bit drier… but before then further thundery showers are expected on Tuesday night and there is a weather warning in force. . . #weatheraware #rain #map #june #warningsWe’ve seen some impressive skies this weekend with plenty of heavy showers 🌦as well as some sunshine ☀️ 📸 @simonluckman1988 from Twitter . With further heavy showers in the forecast this week and a thunderstorm warning ⛈ ⚠️in force for parts of southeast England on Tuesday night and Wednesday it is likely that we’ll see further striking skies in the coming days . Here’s the UK forecast👇 . ⬇️Headline⬇️ Showers for the northwest, drier in southeast, rain in between. . ⬇️This Evening and Tonight⬇️ A rather cloudy but mostly dry night for southern and eastern England, once any daytime showers ease. Bands of rain, heavy at times, will push northeastwards across more central and northwestern parts. The breeze will stop temperatures dropping much. . ⬇️Monday⬇️ Breezy and showery for Scotland and Northern Ireland, with risk of hail and thunder. Early rain across northern England and Wales breaking up somewhat. Warm sunny spells further southeast. . ⬇️Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday⬇️ Rain or showers developing on Tuesday, with potential for torrential thunderstorms in the southeast overnight and into Wednesday. Turning brighter and fresher from the west. Sunshine and showers on Thursday. . . . #sunshine #showers #rain #thunder #weather #forecast #loveukweatherTorrential rain this week has led to a lot of mud at @downloadfest. A mix of sunshine and showers still to come but not as wet as it has been. 📸 @marcxsmith . . Here’s the UK forecast 👇 Showery rain in the north. Drier with clear spells elsewhere. . This Evening and Tonight: The band of showery rain will continue northeastwards, becoming confined to parts of Scotland later in the night. Otherwise, clear spells with showers easing for most. However, there will be further showers arriving into the southwest later in the night. . Sunday: A breezy day with sunny spells and showers, these will be heavy at times. Thicker cloud and more persistent showery rain over northern Scotland at first will clear away northwards. . Outlook for Monday to Wednesday: Sunshine and showers for many on Monday. After a dry and bright start on Tuesday, heavy and thundery showers will arrive during the afternoon and move north overnight into Wednesday. #rain #weather #loveukweather #mud #download2019It’s pretty muddy at #downloadfestival2019 . Amazingly, they had more than a month’s worth of rain 🌧 from Monday to Wednesday this week in advance of the site opening. . Here are the rainfall stats from Sutton Bonnington (about 5 miles east of Donnington Park)… . Rainfall so far this month (up to 0900 14 June): 99.8 mm (166% of average) . Average rainfall in June: 60.2 mm . Rainfall total for 10-12 June: 68 mm . Wettest day: 10 June (32.8 mm) . Thanks to @OliviaJWood_x on twitter for sharing her video. . #loveukweather #muddy #rain #wellies #festivalFed up of it feeling like winter? . It does look warmer next week ➡️⏱ . But note we’re not promising flaming June and blue skies for all, just a bit less ‘January’! . . #drier #sunnier #warmer #loveukweather #weather #nextweek #forecastThrowback to when most of us were getting more sun than rain ☀️🌧 . Big thanks to @skylark22BHC1 over on Twitter for sharing this beautiful image with us 😍 . Fancy a feature on our feed?
