Brace yourselves, Britain! A monstrous 600-mile-long rainstorm is barreling toward the UK, ready to unleash a soaking unlike any in recent memory. This mega storm, dubbed “The Great Soakdown,” is set to flood streets, flood hearts, and flood social feeds from Cornwall all the way to Scotland.
But in a twist worthy of a thriller plot… 8 counties have been mysteriously spared from the wet wrath.
🌩️ The Horror Weather Maps Reveal:
- A massive, swirling rain cloud spanning 600 miles will drench most of England, Wales, and Scotland starting Wednesday night.
- Torrential rains, thunder, and flash floods will make roads rivers and trains slow-mo nightmares.
- Yet, pockets of dry luck remain. These 8 counties will stay surprisingly high and dry, dodging the soaking storm altogether.
