- The Met Office confirmed that the area of low pressure affecting the United Kingdom will pull away Tuesday evening, allowing conditions to turn calmer from Wednesday.

- Office Deputy Chief Forecaster Steven Keates stated a "significant change" is arriving, with high pressure expected to bring a quieter and largely drier end to the week for many.
