This is the Met Office UK Weather forecast for the weekend 13/06/2024. It will be a little warmer this weekend when the sun comes out but for many of us that will only be between the showers. Be prepared for heavy downpours, thunderstorms are possible, and for the skies to flip flop regularly between blue and dark grey. Bringing you this weekend’s weather forecast is Alex Deakin

00:00It will be a little warmer this weekend compared to much of the week and there will be some
00:04sunny spells. But the main theme for this weekend is low pressure and showers. Plenty
00:11of heavy showers. This low pressure is moving in and it's staying for the weekend just kind
00:16of milling around sitting right over us through Saturday and not a great deal of change during
00:23Sunday perhaps just edging a little bit further north. Around the edge of the low pressure
00:28that's where the isobars are closest. That's where the strongest winds will be in the centre
00:33of the low. The winds will actually be quite light at times. So let's try and put a little
00:37bit of detail on starting with Saturday. Bands of showers milling around the centre of the
00:43low to the south. That's where we'll have some reasonably gusty conditions which means
00:48that the showers will tend to zip through. So one of those days where the weather is
00:51just constantly changing. One minute it's fine and sunny. The next minute you've got
00:55a heavy downpour and it's across the southeast in particular where we're most likely to see
00:59some thunderstorms and hail possible as well. Closer to the centre of the low so southern
01:05Scotland northern England. That's where the winds are lightest and that's where the showers
01:09will be quite slow moving. So some places could have a very wet day with a shower kind
01:14of lingering over them. But it also means that there will be some lengthier drier and
01:19brighter spells in between. Across northern Scotland we're likely to see more persistent
01:23rain coming in at times and a fairly brisk wind here. That is going to keep things cool.
01:28Temperatures struggling to get much above 13 or 14 Celsius. Elsewhere at least it is
01:32a little bit warmer than it has been for much of this week. Obviously it's going to feel
01:37cooler when the showers come along with the brisk breeze. But in the south between the
01:42showers when the sun pops out we could get up to 18 maybe 19 or 20 in one or two locations.
01:48But as I said it'll feel a bit cooler because of the wind and because of the downpours.
01:52Plenty more of those heavy showers to come as we go through Saturday night and into Sunday.
01:57Low pressure continuing to dominate things just maybe showing signs of edging a little
02:03bit further north. Which means parts of the south particularly the southwest will probably
02:07see fewer showers on Sunday. So a better chance for Wales and southwest England of some lengthier
02:13dry spells. Most of the shower activity during Sunday morning rather likely to be close to
02:18the low pressure. Another fairly wet day across northern Scotland where these bands
02:23of showers are. Well we'll have to firm up more on the detail of that closer to the time.
02:27But basically expect showers to come and go as we go through the day. The winds not as
02:32strong across the south as well. So a decent chance as I said some lengthier brighter spells
02:37on Sunday and much of the afternoon may actually be dry here. But again where we see the showers
02:42they could be heavy perhaps even thundery once more. Temperatures similar to Saturday's
02:47values so generally getting up into the high teens with a bit of sunshine across the southeast
02:5120 maybe 21 degrees Celsius but still that cool wind blowing across northern Scotland.
02:57The low pressure continues to dominate into next week as well. So keep up to date with
03:02the forecast throughout this weekend. Watch the radar yourself if you download our app
