UK weather map shows possible strong winds
Britain is likely to be battered by heavy rain and strong gales as the latest weather maps have turned dramatically red for June 2. WXCharts maps, which are prepared using the Met Desk data, suggest that the unsettled conditions may impact most parts of the country.
According to the weather maps, areas around Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, and London are likely to be the worst impacted by the heavy rains. The frequent showers will also push the temperatures to single digits, with most of the areas witnessing temperatures around 8- 9C, the maps suggest.

The map comes days after Britain experienced warmer weather for several days. According to the experts, it has been the driest spring for the UK in the last 69 years.
On Friday, the Met Office said that the UK had already recorded more sunshine hours so far this spring than it did for the whole of summer last year.
Deputy chief meteorologist Mark Sidaway said the high pressure moving off will bring “a change to more unsettled conditions, with many areas seeing rain or showers, ending the prolonged dry spell.”
He added: “The change comes this weekend, with weather systems moving in from the Atlantic, arriving from the west probably later on Friday and through Saturday. They will bring with them spells of rain, which may be heavy at times, with a risk of strong winds in places.
“These conditions will gradually spread across the UK on Saturday, with Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday likely seeing sunshine and showers.”

The Met Office’s long-range forecast between May 25 and June 3 reads: “A much more unsettled period than of late with the whole of the UK likely to see showers or some longer spells of rain, but also some drier and brighter interludes.
“For Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday it’s likely a story of sunshine and showers.
“The showers will be heavier and more frequent in the west where it may also be windy, especially across the northwest.
“The east, especially the southeast may well see a good deal of dry weather.
“The rest of the week then sees further frontal systems run into the UK, bringing more widespread rain at times, but again some drier spells in-between these.
“Temperatures will probably be close to average, perhaps slightly above at times, but will feel fairly cool in the often strong winds.
