Rainy Reprieve, But Drought Remains a Lingering Concern The UK's weather has been as mercurial as ever this week, with heavy downpours bringing much needed rain to parched areas but also flash flooding in some regions.
High pressure is set to build over the next few days, ushering in drier weather for the weekend.
Over two thirds of England and all of Wales are currently experiencing drought conditions, with officials warning that the situation is intensifying despite this week's rain.
