UK Braced for Mild, Windy Start to Week as Ex-Hurricane Melissa Drives Rain

Most places should stay snow-free as temperatures hold above seasonal norms.

Overview

  • The Met Office expects daytime highs widely between 14–17°C on Monday, with the warmest values likely in parts of the South West.
  • A low-pressure system carrying the remnants of Hurricane Melissa is set to pass over the far northwest late Sunday into Monday, bringing further spells of rain and strong winds.
  • Forecasters note some uncertainty in the exact track of the system, though wet and blustery conditions are likely to persist into midweek.
  • Wind gusts could reach around 53mph in parts of Scotland, with lively showers that may include hail and thunder in places.
  • Widespread snow is not expected, with any snowfall limited to Scottish mountain summits, and there is a small risk of localised flooding with current alerts for the Norfolk Broads and the Upper River Derwent area.
