After a summer of record warmth, the UK now faces a dramatic shift: a sprawling 600-mile rainstorm is forecast to sweep across the land, beginning August 27. Southern Scotland and the East Midlands are projected to be the hardest hit.

What’s Coming?

The Met Office warns that systems linked to Hurricane Erin will bring changeable, unsettled weather through the end of August. The transition from lingering high pressure into Atlantic fronts could usher in windier and wetter conditions, especially across northern and western areas. Atmosphere models remain uncertain—but the mood is shifting.

Who’s Likely to Stay Dry?

According to WXC Charts, certain counties—like Aberdeenshire, Somerset, Middlesex, Kent, Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, and Cambridgeshire—may remain relatively unscathed as the rainstorm passes.
