The long dry spell has ended
After weeks of hot sun it has finally rained in Portsmouth.
Following the long dry spell there was some relief for those struggling with the hot summer.
According to the Met Office rainy conditions are likely to remain for the morning today (Wednesday 19 August) before the weather clears.
“A cloudy start with showers clearing to leave a mostly dry morning. A few more showers develop through the afternoon, potentially turning heavy with a risk of hail and thunder later. Light winds freshening in the showers. Maximum temperature 24 °C,” the forecaster said.
Thursday is expected to be mostly dry and bright at first, with just a few showers developing through the morning and “showers becoming heavier with a chance of thunder in the afternoon”.
Isolated showers are possible on Friday as the weather becomes more settled.
