Britain looks set to face a widespread rainstorm<\/a> in just a few days’ time, with no region spared from the downpours.<\/p>\n According to GFS weather<\/a> model maps, rain is expected to creep in on Saturday, September 13, drenching areas from the South East of England<\/a> to the far north of Scotland<\/a> – spanning roughly 600 miles. Areas in the firing line include London<\/a>, Kent, Essex and Southampton, as well as Birmingham<\/a>, Manchester<\/a> and Newcastle further north.<\/p>\n In Scotland, Inverness and Aberdeen are among the city braced for steady downpours while Belfast and surrounding areas in Northern Ireland<\/a> also look set for a soaking. The maps indicate rainfall will be heaviest across parts of southern and eastern England, with London, Southampton, Peterborough, Norfolk and Lincolnshire set to see between three and five millimetres per hour.<\/p>\n Inverness is also expected to be hit with downpours of around three millimetres an hour, while much of the rest of the UK will see lighter rain ranging from 0.2 to one millimetre per hour.<\/p>\n It comes as the Met Office<\/a> warned low pressure systems will dominate the second week of September, bringing showers, longer spells of rain, and the potential for thunderstorms, hail and strong winds.<\/p>\n In its long-range forecast from September 9 until September 18, the forecaster said: “Much of this period will be unsettled, with low pressure likely to dominate the overall pattern. This will mean showers or longer spells of rain will affect much of the UK at times.<\/p>\n “Some heavy rain or showers are expected in places, most often in the west and north. Thunderstorms and hail are also possible, as are some spells of strong winds, especially if any deep areas of low pressure develop and affect the UK.<\/p>\n “Later in the period, there may be some longer spells of drier weather<\/a> that develop, especially towards the south, with more in the way of sunshine due to higher pressure here. Temperatures will likely be close to average or slightly below overall, but may rise above at times in any drier, sunnier spells.”<\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/4_Screenshot-2025-09-04-150700jpeg.jpg\")
