It was an overwhelmingly soggy summer this year - and, according to The Weather Network, things aren’t going to get better.
Providing a three-month forecast, they’ve revealed that - while September might provide some sunshine - storms are set to dominate October and November.
Yup, it’s going to be above average rainfall and below average temperatures throughout most of the country.
And it’s all thanks to a strengthening jet stream out in the North Atlantic, which is going to drive plenty of wet and windy weather across the UK.
Experts at The Weather Network told us: “We often get a late taste of summer in early season with some fine and warm spells at times and this year is no different with September shaping up to be drier than average.
“Unfortunately this won’t last as wet and cool conditions will dominate throughout October and November, particularly in western areas of the UK, due to the strengthening jet stream.”
Here’s everything you need to know about the weather for Autumn 2015, in bullet points:
-
September looks likely to see high pressure dominating at times, bringing much of the UK some dry and settled weather; some overnight frosts could be an issue for some areas.
-
As we go into October and November, it is expected to become particularly unsettled thanks to a strengthening jet stream bringing some wet and windy autumnal weather.
-
Western parts of the UK will see the wettest weather during the autumn, with rainfall likely to be above average with eastern areas more likely to be closer to the norm.
-
Temperatures will generally be around or slightly below average through autumn as a whole, thanks to the cooler than normal sea temperatures out in the Atlantic.
-
Europe generally warmer and wetter than average, especially across the Mediterranean basin.
Sigh.
Guess it’s time to invest in a pair of snazzy wellie-boots, then!
