Episode Details

The East Midlands is finally getting some much-needed rain this Thursday afternoon, with showers hitting Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, and Nottinghamshire—especially around 3 PM, though clearing by 6. While welcome, forecasters warn it’s not a drought-ending miracle: scattered showers mean limited totals and no overnight fix. This follows a brutal fifth heatwave of the year, with temps peaking at 38.1°C on August 13. Thursday’s heaviest downpours are forecast for northern England and Wales, while southern areas get lighter showers. Expect thunder and hail in Scotland and Northern Ireland, plus cooler-than-average temps—a rare summer break for the UK.
