The Met Office classifies rainfall rates exceeding 4mm per hour as heavy rain. In its long-range forecast for March 9 to 18, the Met Office highlighted an increased likelihood of rain during the middle of the month.
“The first part of this period will continue to see the UK positioned between high pressure across Europe and low pressure over the North Atlantic,” the Met Office explained. “Western areas will likely experience spells of rain accompanied by stronger winds, while eastern regions may see drier intervals, though some rain is possible. Towards mid-March, unsettled conditions are expected to spread more widely with increased chances of rain and gusty winds across all areas. Temperatures are generally forecast to be slightly above average.”
