A 600-mile rainstorm is to sweep across the United Kingdom from 27 August, bringing widespread rain and cooler conditions. Most areas will be hit by the deluge, with only eight counties to be spared the unsettled weather.
Where Will the Rainstorm Strike?

WXCharts weather charts show the rain system building over the Atlantic before moving into the UK later on 27 August. It will first impact land areas in western regions before it moves across much of England and Scotland.
Areas of the East Midlands and southern Scotland will be worst affected by the heavier rain from the storm. The storm should last for around 24 hours before it starts to die away from the south.
Which Areas Are Most Likely to Get Hit?
Parts of Wales and Scotland may see the heaviest rainfall, with localised flooding possible
The heaviest rain will fall upon topography and west slopes, particularly south-central Wales, amounting to as much as 18 cm. The north of England is to see rain rising to 3 mm per hour on 28 August.
While all areas are in line for 1 cm and 2 cm of rain, the buildup charts indicate that the deluge could be much larger in high-lying areas. It follows weeks of volatile weather patterns that included heat waves and thunderstorms.
Will Any Counties Be Spared the Rainstorm?
In a report by WXCharts, eight counties seem to have escaped the brunt of the rain. They consist of Aberdeenshire, Somerset, Middlesex, Kent, Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, and Cambridgeshire.
Even though there are good chances it will be dry in these regions, meteorologists also make the addition that some isolated rainfalls can be ruled out. It is important that people track the weather around them; it has been riding around in the next several days.
How Temperatures Will Shift
It is a report by WXCharts that indicates that eight counties may miss being the worst of this rain. These include Somerset, Aberdeenshire, Middlesex, Kent, Essex, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, and Norfolk.
Although these areas are likely to be dry, meteorologists state that it cannot be excluded that occasional rain can also take place. The weather in the region is to be monitored because the models have been circulating within the past few days.
What Is the Met Office Forecast?
The Met Office 19–28 August: The longer-term outlook is for increased chances of rain, heavy showers, and stronger winds. The forecaster suggests that the final week of August can anticipate Atlantic weather patterns to spread over the UK.
29 August to 12 September is forecast for unsettled weather with showers and prolonged periods of rain. Thundery conditions and gusty winds will also plague some places.
What Can One Expect Over the Bank Holiday?
This proves inconvenient to the bank holiday in August, depending on the time of the storm. Wet weather and windy weather are possible, and travelling and outdoor activity can be affected, particularly in the North and West, where people may feel like getting wet.
The Met Office has severe weather warnings that commuters and tourists need to check and adapt to the travel arrangements. There is the threat of floods in the localized regions where the flash flood cannot ever be reabsorbed into the austerely dry land.
