The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for Oxfordshire this weekend predicting unsettled weather in the coming days.

Unfortunately the showers, at times thundery, look likely to continue through to next week.

In contrast to the glorious weather we had in June, the UK looks set for a miserable few days.

Here we take a look at the Met Office forecast over the coming days:

Met Office forecast for Oxfordshire

It will become predominantly dry overnight with variable cloud amounts across the region but also some clear spells. Winds will be generally light. Minimum temperature 12 °C.

Friday:

A few bright spells at first before heavy rain and strong winds arrive from the west around mid-morning, to give a wet and windy afternoon and evening. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

An unsettled and unseasonably windy weekend with heavy and thundery showers, especially on Saturday. Winds easing by Monday, with showers generally lighter. Temperatures near or a little below average.

What the Met Office experts say

Met Office Chief Meteorologist Andy Page said: “The UK is predominantly under the influence of low-pressure, which is continuing a showery regime, with some potentially heavy and thundery showers possible at times through the week.

“While not everywhere in the UK will experience the heaviest downpours, it will remain an unsettled and relatively cool period, in stark contrast to the heat we experienced in June.”

Speaking in the Met Office’s exclusive YouTube series ‘Deep Dive’, Met Office Meteorologist and Presenter Alex Deakin said: “What we’re seeing with the jet steam is this shift more towards being directed towards the UK from the southwest, which is helping to push low pressure systems towards the UK.

“Ahead of the weekend, the jet steam is looking to be relatively strong and, as well as bringing a period of some more persistent rain for many, it’s also bringing some strong winds and continuing this fresh period of weather.”
