Though we have seen some sunshine this summer, there has also been plenty of gloomy skies and rain. The temperatures have rarely dropped too low but it has hardly been a summer of sunshine and searing heat.
Many will be hoping the rest of the summer perks up and we enjoy some conditions similar to last year. Unfortunately, the Met Office outlook suggests we may not get this, at least for the next few weeks.
In the UK this has resulted in damp, cool conditions. While these conditions could shift in time, it is unlikely to happen in the next few weeks, according to the Met Office.
The Met Office outlook for July 29 to August 7 currently states: "The conditions for the end of July are expected to remain unsettled, a theme which is likely to continue into early August as well. Widespread showers are probable across the UK throughout the period with northern areas likely to see the heaviest of these, some of which may also turn thunder. More persistent spells of rain may develop as well, especially in western elevated regions, replacing some of the showers.
"A risk of strong winds and some gales in coastal areas; inland, winds more likely to be light to moderate. Drier interludes with some sunny spells are possible during the period, with a greater likelihood in south-eastern regions as we move into August. Feeling generally cool for the time of year, though perhaps a touch warmer in sheltered areas."
Even before this, more inclement conditions are likely to hit Berkshire and Reading this week. From July 25 to July 28, temperatures are likely to sit at around 20C but a mixture of light and heavy rain could fall.
