UK could see 10 days without rain after 'wettest week in two years'

The current settled spell marks quite a contrast to the turbulent conditions experienced just a week ago, when the UK was hit by its first named storms of the season, Austen and Bóelo.

Both systems delivered much-needed rainfall, with Bóelo particularly notable for the sheer volume of rain it brought.

According to the Environment Agency, rainfall associated with both named storms, along with another area of low pressure on Monday, contributed to the wettest week across the UK for two years.

Whilst the current area of high pressure will stay over or close to the UK for at least 10 days it looks like another change could begin around mid-November.
