The UK faces a staggering 550-mile wall of rain but nine counties face being spared. A new weather map from WX Charts, which is based off Met Desk data, predicts the UK faces a deluge of downpours in the form of a rain bomb at midday on May 24.

Thankfully, despite the WX Charts maps and charts showing a deluge of rain, the blue and white on the weather charts doesn’t impact all the areas. In fact, a string of counties across England will be spared the bomb.

Counties set to escape its wrath include Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire and Kent, as well as Surrey, Greater London, Oxfordshire, West Sussex, Wiltshire.

Looking ahead from late May to Sunday 1 June, the BBC Weather team warns it’ll be “wetter at first”, adding: “Above-average temperatures are expected in the week after next, which is consistent with the general trend of most long-term weather forecast models.

“However, the forecast accuracy for the expected precipitation patterns is less certain. In addition, the transitions between the different weather systems are still rather slow. Against this backdrop, it could remain somewhat wetter and windier at first, very similar to the previous week.

“Some long-range forecasts suggest a return to more settled weather later in the week, though. In fact, an elongated high pressure area could spread roughly from the south of the UK to at least parts of western continental Europe. The northern and north-western parts of the country could see further changeable conditions, in line with a stronger low pressure signature between Iceland and Greenland.

“Nevertheless, most forecasts suggest that unsettled conditions will remain widespread for the rest of the week.” Its Monday 2 June to Sunday 15 June outlook adds: ” At the start of meteorological summer, weather forecast models tend to diverge more widely due to the longer lead time.

“Nonetheless, much of the UK could ultimately see a return to somewhat drier and calmer conditions overall. The latter would correspond to a high pressure signal near the UK or over parts of continental Europe.

“Wetter and windier conditions could remain confined to the more north-western and northern parts of the United Kingdom. In terms of temperature, values above or at times well above average are still more likely during this early summer period.”
