This weekend some parts of the UK may experience their first burst of spring ‘warmth’, with temperatures of 15 or 16C possible in a few spots. However, it doesn’t mean that sunshine and dry weather is back.
Rain will still feature across the UK during the weekend despite south-westerly winds dragging in milder conditions.
The Met Office have said that there is no sign of prolonged dry weather until the middle of March at the very least, with our weather remaining very “changeable”.
Despite this, the blocked weather pattern that has been the reason for all our problems so far this year has finally changed. It means that low pressure systems will sit in different areas and also progress across the UK more than they have done. The result will be a different distribution of rainfall across the country, with some western hills likely to experience the wetter conditions.
There should also be a few more drier and brighter days, but with rivers still very high and the ground saturated in large parts of the country any further rain could still bring the risk of more flooding.
After the unusually dry conditions through a large part of 2025, and the resulting drought in a number of areas, the turn around to flood has been fairly rapid.
