The area of high pressure that has kept things mostly dry over the last week is still close to the UK.<\/p>\n

However, a zone of cold air high in the atmosphere has been drifting overhead causing instability, allowing shower clouds<\/a> to bubble up.<\/p>\n

This will top up rain gauges in some locations but there will be gaps in between meaning some places will stay mostly or completely dry.<\/p>\n

There are parts of the UK that could do with some rain.<\/p>\n

Up until Monday morning, Cambridge and Bedford had both received only 2% of their average April rainfall.<\/p>\n

In contrast, Tiree (Inner Hebrides) has had a wetter month than normal with 171% of its typical rainfall, and Katesbridge (Co. Down) has received 113% of its average April amount.<\/p>\n

These cloudy, damp conditions will linger for some on Tuesday morning – but the day will turn increasingly sunny as high pressure reasserts itself to the north of the UK.<\/p>\n

A brisk easterly breeze will develop in southern England and south Wales.<\/p>\n

The highest temperatures are likely to be found in Northern Ireland and Scotland with highs of 17-19C (63-66F).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The area of high pressure that has kept things mostly dry over the last week is still close…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":979646,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3976],"tags":[331,332,13,14,15,12,3992,3993,3994,3995,3996,3997],"class_list":{"0":"post-979645","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-vereinigtes-koenigreich","8":"tag-aktuelle-nachrichten","9":"tag-aktuelle-news","10":"tag-headlines","11":"tag-nachrichten","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-schlagzeilen","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom","16":"tag-united-kingdom-of-great-britain-and-northern-ireland","17":"tag-vereinigtes-koenigreich","18":"tag-vereinigtes-koenigreich-grossbritannien-und-nordirland","19":"tag-vereinigtes-koenigreich-von-grossbritannien-und-nordirland"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@de\/116483166519128419","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/979645","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=979645"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/979645\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/979646"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=979645"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=979645"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=979645"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
