Heavy downpours that have led to flash flooding are expected to ease during Friday, with sunshine forecast to return in time for the weekend.
The latest weather outlook indicates that the unsettled conditions responsible for the recent flooding will gradually lose intensity through the day. While the source material does not specify the areas affected, it confirms that the rainfall has been heavy enough to cause flash flooding.
Conditions are then expected to improve as the weekend approaches, with sunnier weather returning after the period of persistent and disruptive rain. The change is likely to bring a noticeable shift from wet conditions to brighter spells.
However, the improving daytime picture will not mean uniformly mild weather. Chilly nights are also forecast, meaning temperatures are expected to fall after dark despite the return of sunshine during the weekend.
Weather presenter Ben Rich said the downpours would ease during Friday, with the weekend bringing sunshine but also some cold nights. The latest known outlook is therefore for rain to clear in time for the weekend, followed by brighter conditions and cooler overnight periods.
