The Met Office<\/a> have said that the UK weather will be ‘changeable’ over the coming week as the country prepares for plenty of rain, but also plenty of sun.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Areas of the West Midlands<\/a> will be subjected to a mixture of sunshine and rainy spells, with Met Office forecasters saying that temperatures will sit in the ‘seasonable average’ following a dry spell across the country.<\/p>\n

Met Office meteorologist, Dan Stroud, said that the rain was “welcome news”, saying that April rainfall figures have so far remained below the amount expected for the time of year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The meteorologist said: “Changeable probably sums it (the weather) up nicely.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rain is going to be fairly welcome news for the gardeners because it\u2019s been actually very dry up until now.<\/p>\n

\u201c(For) April to date, rainfall figures are well below where they should be.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the coming week, Tuesday will see a chilly start, with plenty of dry and sunny weather to break up isolated showers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said: “It will cloud over from the west late in the day, with a band of heavy rain and strong and gusty winds arriving across England and Wales, pushing into Northern Ireland, southern Scotland during the overnight period in to Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat air of rain is not hanging around, it\u2019s actually moving quite quickly south and eastwards across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo conditions will improve significantly during the course of the afternoon.<\/p>\n

\u201cSunny spells and showers is the name of the game on Wednesday afternoon, and that leads quite nicely into a generally dry and settled spell of weather on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut that too will be very short-lived, with another band of cloud and rain slowly edging in from the west towards the end of the week, and more especially next weekend.”<\/p>\n
