UK weather maps show Britain ‘disappearing’ under 712-mile storm | Weather | News
Brits will want to have their raincoats and umbrellas ready, as weather maps show a major Atlantic storm will soon wreak havoc on the country. The storm, which appears on weather maps stretching 752 miles from Inverness in Scotland to Penzance in Cornwall, could hit much of Britain if the forecast is correct.
Grim WXCHARTS weather maps created using Met Desk data on December 7 turned red, orange, green, and blue when looking at the December 9 forecast. This indicates that heavy heavy rain may be on the way. The storm depicted on the maps is so large that much of Britain “disappears” beneath it. Maps show those in the hardest-hit areas could be hit by up to 7mm of rain per hour. If the forecasts are correct, the storm could hit the country within a few days, with showers expected on Tuesday, December 9.
Millions of Britons across the country are expected to open their blinds to reveal heavy rainfall at 6am.
According to the maps, Dumfries and Galloway in the western part of Scotland’s Southern Uplands will see some of the heaviest rainfall, with 7mm predicted every hour. It is expected to rain 4 mm per hour in Glasgow, Scotland.
Elsewhere, maps show those in Cumbria and Lancashire will not be comfortable with forecasts of a whopping 5mm per hour of rain.
According to maps, large areas of Wales are hidden under a wall of red rain; Those in north and mid Wales are likely to see between 6mm and 7mm of rain.
Both Wales and England are barely visible on WXCHARTS weather maps as both countries are completely submerged by the Atlantic storm.
Elsewhere, West Sussex and Surrey are likely to see 3mm of rain, while parts of Devon and Cornwall will see 6mm of rain. According to the maps, London will not be able to escape the rain barrage, with the prediction that 1.5 mm of rain will fall per hour.
In a separate forecast, the Met Office is predicting “very wet and windy weather” through Tuesday and Wednesday, with “gusty winds likely across western Scotland”.
The Met Office’s outlook for Tuesday to Thursday is: “Expected very wet and windy weather into Tuesday and Wednesday, with gusty winds in western Scotland. There will be a brief lull on Thursday. Generally mild.”
Separately, the Met Office’s yellow weather warning for rain will come into force from 6pm on Monday and will be in force for 24 hours, covering parts of south-west England and Wales and extending into parts of Herefordshire and Hampshire.
