Met Office: 107 areas to see heavy showers on Monday

The Met Office has revealed 107 areas set to be pummelled by rain on Bank Holiday Monday, as showers persist across the UK following what is likely to be a soggy Sunday.

Forecasters said the wet conditions follow a Sunday of scattered showers, with some turning heavy and thundery, impacting festival goers around the country. Monday is set to be brighter and drier but will not be without its downpours.

Sunday and Monday outlook

Met Office meteorologist Honor Criswick said: "On Sunday there will be some scattered showers around to start, mostly across Scotland, Northern Ireland might see some.

"The South East could remain dry, but by the evening they will probably start to see some showers, they also could be heavy and thundery."

On Monday, Met Office maps reveal showers will start at around 8am in the South West, with much of Wales also seeing downpours. By 12pm the rain will be concentrated in the North West and North East of England, having slightly moved on from the South.

Afternoon and evening showers

Heading into the afternoon, places as far north as Yorkshire will also see some showers, with Scarborough forecast rain at 4pm. In the evening, the Midlands is set to be affected, with Birmingham, Nottingham and Loughborough all set to experience showers by 10pm.

Honor Criswick added: "It will probably be quite dry first thing on Monday, some showers across western areas, some heavy showers mostly across north Scotland.

"For many areas it's going to be turning drier and brighter, a better end to the day compared to the start."
