Here is the actual forecast for Saturday. What might be some issues caused on the day if this is accurate?
Currently Saturday is forecast to be another cloudy, wet day for many. Showers are likely to develop in central, eastern, and
northern areas, as well as across Northern Ireland, but not expected to be as intense or as heavy as those on Friday. Met Office
Deputy Chief Forecaster, Steven Keates, said: “A further area of rain is expected to move into southwest England early on
Saturday, moving east and north through the day with some heavy bursts at times. This is likely to bring some rain to London by
around lunchtime. Further north in Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland it will be a day of sunshine and showers
before the more persistent rain moves northwards overnight. It will feel humid, especially in the south, with highs of 17°C
possible in London.”
