Much of the United Kingdom is forecast to be covered in rain throughout today. WXCHARTS’ forecast suggests large parts of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will experience rainfall.

However, the east Midlands and east coast of Scotland look set to witness the most significant downpours.

Over 15mm of rainfall is forecast to fall in Lincolnshire and 21mm is set to fall in the area just below Aberdeen by the end of the day.

The Met Office’s Monday summary claimed Cardiff saw temperatures reach 17.7C yesterday.

However, WXCHARTS suggests temperatures in the Welsh capital will likely vary from around 4C to 13C.

But the central belt of Scotland will rise this morning with mercury at just 2C.

The Met Office forecast for Tuesday said: “Sunny spells and showers, these heavy with hail and thunder in the east and north.

“Best of sunshine in southwestern areas for the afternoon, but cloudier with rain in Northern Ireland. Still on the cool side.

“A few showers in northeast, whilst rain across Northern Ireland moves east into northwest England, Wales and the northwest Midlands.

Looking ahead to the remainder of the week, the UK’s national weather service added: “Rain across central areas moving east and turning showery through the morning.

“Some heavy showers across northern and eastern England. Drier in west and north with sunny spells.
