"The weather will be wetter and there could be flooding, but despite this drought conditions may continue into the winter as the rain will not be enough as this year has had record breaking dry very hot weather. Chief meteorologist Will Lang said, "There is an increased likelihood of westerly weather patterns, which typically bring more rainfall to western and northern parts of the UK, while eastern and southern areas may experience drier conditions than the national average suggests.""
""But we know it never works out like we'd like ... Certainly (it) isn't an end to a drought yet." She was asked if the drought could continue through to winter, Douglass said, "It's entirely a possibility. "If we don't get the rainfall in the locations that are already in drought or prolonged dry weather, then you could have drought status continuing in those particular locations.""
From September through November wetter and windier conditions are expected across the UK with an increased chance of flooding in some areas. Westerly weather patterns are more likely, bringing higher rainfall to western and northern regions while eastern and southern areas may see drier conditions than the national average. Autumn could be warmer than normal, reflecting recent climate warming trends. Rainfall may not be sufficient to end drought in locations already affected by prolonged dry, hot weather, so drought status in some places could continue into winter depending on where the rain falls.
