UK Weather: The exact day the rain will stop according to Met Office as Storm Antoni batters UK

Storm Antoni has caused high winds and rain across the UK this weekend - but here’s when we could see some brighter weather

As Storm Antoni wrecked havoc across the UK this weekend with rain and strong winds, you might be wondering when the bad weather will come to a halt. Travel disruptions and flood warnings were issued by the Met Office as gusts of wind of up to 60mph ripped across the country on Saturday (August 5).

Parts of the UK including Yorkshire, the South West and Northern Ireland were battered by the storm, with some houses having to be evacuated, and some events cancelled due to the weather.

But, if you’re hoping that’s the worst of the weather out of the way for a while, the Met Office forecast doesn’t look so optimistic for the next few days. The Met Office predicts more rain and showers until Thursday but it should feel ‘much warmer’ as temperatures rise.

However, from Thursday (August 10) central and eastern parts of the country could see warm weather, sunshine and no rain with temperatures reaching up to 27 degrees. The Met Office states that temperatures will be warmer than average until August 19.

We have rounded-up the weather for the next week.
