Avoid organising any barbecues this month because it will be cloudy.

Forecasters have issued a warning for cloudy conditions and rainy weather similar to what we saw in July.

Mainland While wildfires and heatwaves are raging across Europe, the UK has fortunately avoided experiencing the same amount of heat as last year.

However, there have been concerns that summertime highs of 40°C will soon be seen as the norm.

Forecasters predict that London will see ten days of continuous rain and showers between July 29 and August 7.

The jet stream is expected to bring intervals of rain and showers as well as moderate temperatures of 20°C in the south and 17 to 18°C in the north for the next seven to ten days, according to meteorologist Phil Morrish, who spoke to the Express.

The picture for the upcoming weeks is similarly grim according to the Met Office.

According to its website, the upcoming days will be “unsettled,” with days of sunny patches and showers possibly mixed with periods of heavier rain as low pressure systems travel across the UK.

When these low pressure systems do develop, the southern portions of the UK are more likely to see them while the north continues to experience dry weather.

Otherwise, on showery days, showers will frequently be centred in the north and east, where they could occasionally combine into extended periods of rain and be heavy and thundery at times.

Western regions are more likely to stay dry, however there is still a potential of showers.

The forecast calls for temperatures to be a little below average, with a strong northwesterly breeze enhancing the feeling of coolness.

Overall, the likelihood of strong winds is higher than usual.

There is a higher likelihood that the unstable weather will continue into the second part of August, continuing to afflict the UK with a combination of rain and showers.

A lengthy dry and hot spell is unlikely, but there is a signal for brief drier, brighter, and occasionally warmer interludes towards the end of August.

Scotland and the north of England have recently experienced sunny periods while the south has experienced dreary weather.

“The forecast for the next couple of weeks is unsettled, but that shouldn’t give the impression of continuous or heavy rain,” Met Office spokesperson Grahame Madge told MailOnline.

“Rain is predicted for London over the next few days, but most of it will be showers, with clearer periods in between.”
