The UK weather this July could be easily mistaken for the start of spring after the Met Office predicts cooler temperatures and showers.
It has not been the most summery start for July weather, which turned typically British after a heatwave last week – just as Wimbledon kicked off in London.
Now the latest Met Office forecast shows that the weather will stay unstable this weekend after a wet General Election results Friday.
The now ex-Prime Minister Rishi Sunak beaten by Keir Starmer made his final speech outside Number 10 Downing Street in the rain – just as he announced the General Election in pouring rain without an umbrella.
