Met Office gives verdict following '50 days of summer rain' reports
29.05.2024 - 16:29 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
The Met Office has spoken out following reports that Brits could be braced for '50 days of rain' in a miserably wet summer. It has been widely reported that the forecaster had warned the Government to prepare for wet conditions over the coming months - with at least 50 days of 2.5mm or more rainfall.
But speaking to the Manchester Evening News, the Met Office insists the reports are wide of the mark. It says it is not possible to forecast a specific number of days of rain for the whole of summer.
And while it's too soon for accurate forecasts for the coming months, 'signals for prevailing weather patterns' currently show that the chances of a wet or dry summer are currently 'fairly balanced'. A Met Office spokesperson said: "When looking at forecasts beyond five days into the future, the chaotic nature of the atmosphere starts to come into play.

"Small events currently over the Atlantic can have potentially significant impacts on our weather in the UK in several days' or weeks’ time. Therefore, whilst we can still forecast the general feel of the weather to a relatively high level of accuracy using our ensemble models, it becomes harder to offer local detail to as high a level of accuracy as our shorter range forecasts.
"For this reason longer range forecast tend to be for the average conditions over the UK as a whole. Regional deviations from the UK average can occur."
The Met Office adds that some spells of unsettled weather can be expected in the coming weeks, which are typical for this time of year. This could include downpours and thunderstorms, similar to those seen over the bank holiday weekend in Manchester.
