James Morris18 February 2019

Brits who enjoyed a balmy February weekend should brace themselves for more familiar weather conditions on Monday.

After a sun-soaked Saturday and Sunday, the Met Office said rain was likely in many parts of the country on Monday.

Meteorologist Helen Roberts told the Standard: “It will be breezy, and the most frequent showers will be in the north-west.

“The south-east will be less breezy, with more bright spells. But there will also be some showers around.

“There will be a band of rain pulling from East Anglia through London and towards Southampton. And the rain in some of those places will be on the heavy side.”

After the warm temperatures at the weekend, Ms Roberts added: “It will still be mild, with temperatures above average. But it won’t be as pleasant as it has been this weekend.”

On Monday, London has a 70 per cent chance of heavy rain at noon and an 80 per cent chance at 2pm. Temperatures will reach highs of 10C.

From Tuesday to Thursday, meanwhile, it will be wet and windy across the north of the country, while the south will be drier.
