It will remain unsettled for the rest of the week due to a powerful jet stream positioned to the south of the UK. As a result, low‑pressure systems are not being driven quickly across the country, meaning rain bands will become slow‑moving, particularly across parts of Scotland.

The jet stream lies to the north of the UK at the moment, and that has allowed high pressure to build in across the UK 🌥️🌞 However, during the week ahead the jet will move south, allowing low pressure and a more changeable northwesterly airstream to become re-established 🌦️🌧️
