It comes as the Met Office forecast a mixture of wet weather and drier and brighter weather.
In its long-range forecast from August 5 to 14, the Met Office said: “An unseasonably deep area of low pressure clearing to the east, may bring widely windy and wet weather at first, especially for the north or northeast of the UK.
“Following this will be a breezy but sunny day for most with a risk of showers in the north.
“The forecast around this is rather uncertain, however, and it is also possible that it will clear more quickly.
“Following this, a continuation of the broadly changeable pattern is expected, with spells of rain or showers, some drier, brighter interludes and temperatures mainly near average.
As we move towards mid-month, there is an increased chance of high pressure becoming more dominant, leading to drier, warmer and more settled conditions becoming more widespread.”
