Will it rain where I am?

If you’re following the weather radar UK feed, you’ll see the rain band currently over the Midlands and Yorkshire. It weakens as it pushes into East Anglia. For a longer view, the UK weather map 7 days shows a similar pattern through the week: low pressure dominating, with frequent showers and brighter intervals. The UK weather forecast 14 days hints at a drier spell arriving by next weekend, but confidence is low.
