Through the rest of the week the low pressure is set to remain, meaning the showery conditions will remain.
Daytime showers are likely during this time period.
The Met Office said similar conditions are forecast to persist through to mid-month and any dry spells will be 'relatively short-lived'.
August 16 to 30
The middle of August is likely to start with unsettled conditions, with low pressure likely to be centred around the west of the UK.
According to forecasters the wettest conditions will be in the North and the West.
A Met Office spokesman said: "This pattern would bring a predominately south to southwesterly airflow, which as well as bringing periods of showers or longer spells of rain, would generally lead to above average temperatures.
"Into the second half of August, low pressure will probably move to lie the northeast of the UK, with perhaps higher pressure towards the southwest of the country.
"This pattern would lead to a cooler and showery west to northwesterly flow, with the wettest conditions in the north and west, although the far southwest may have some drier and slightly warmer weather at times."
However the spokesman added the is low confidence in the later half of the month and the forecast could change.
