Attention, the UK is bracing for a chillier spell as Arctic air moves in over the coming days. Expect patchy frost and blustery showers, with a slim chance of thunder and hail.
Scottish mountains might see some snow or sleet, while temperatures are set to be 4-5°C below the seasonal average, hovering around 10-13°C in Scotland and 13-16°C in southern England.
According to Met Office meteorologist Clare Nasir, yesterday’s severe gales and persistent rain in northeast Scotland were caused by a low-pressure system, which will continue to influence our weather.
Over the next few days, anticipate a mix of showers, occasional sunshine, and a cold wind.
Southern England sees mild temperatures, while Scotland faces snow and sleet in the mountains.As we move into Wednesday evening and overnight, showers will persist, particularly in northern and western regions, while inland areas may experience drier spells.
Temperatures could drop to 4-5°C, leading to potential frost in some areas. Coastal regions may see showers, with some spreading inland, but expect brief periods of sunshine and temperatures reaching 14-15°C in the south.
On Thursday night, more patchy frost is possible, followed by a mostly dry Friday. A high-pressure ridge will bring a cold start with localized frost but also some sunshine. However, changes are expected as we head into the weekend.
By the weekend, temperatures should rise closer to the average for this time of year, reaching highs of up to 21°C in the south.
Meteorologist Tom Morgan notes that while southern regions will experience warmer and settled weather, western Scotland is set for wet and windy conditions. Typical September weather is anticipated as we approach next week.
