The final weekend of summer is set to feel quite different from the weather we've experienced over the past three months.

A series of low-pressure systems will bring spells of wet weather across the UK, with some windy conditions at times as well.

Watch Annie Shuttleworth's full weekend forecast⬇️

27/08/2026

Thunderstorms and heavy showers are often hit and miss ⛈️

However, where thunderstorms have developed, they've brought intense downpours and localised flooding. Lichfield, Staffordshire, recorded around 60mm of rain in just 12 hours, that's nearly 60% of the rainfall recorded all summer. Several other locations in central England have seen 40-50mm 🌧️

While it's difficult to pinpoint exactly where thunderstorms will develop, weather warnings are issued because there remains a risk of intense rain, flooding and disruption. These warnings help people prepare and stay safe.
