Frosty Mornings Expected as Cold Arctic Air Hits UK

Parts of the United Kingdom are bracing for freezing overnight temperatures and frosty mornings due to the arrival of cold Arctic air. The Met Office forecasts temperatures in northern England and Scotland to drop as low as -3C on Wednesday and Thursday nights, with the possibility of snow on higher ground. The chilly conditions are expected to last for the next few days, with eastern parts of England experiencing particularly cold weather. However, temperatures are expected to rise over the weekend, possibly even exceeding seasonal averages by one or two degrees in places. The Met Office also predicts a risk of heavy rain and possible thunderstorms in southern areas of the UK over the weekend due to an area of low pressure moving across the country.

UK Temperatures Set to Double in Some Regions Next Week

After a chilly start to the week, the UK is set for a significant temperature increase in the coming days. Forecasts indicate that temperatures will likely double in some areas by Thursday, May 2. The Met Office predicts that the warmest day will be Thursday, May 2, with temperatures reaching highs of 16C in certain regions. While the north of the country will experience drier weather, the south can expect a greater chance of showers, particularly on Thursday, May 2. The temperature increase will be accompanied by a decrease in wind speed, leading to more comfortable conditions. However, some southern areas may see temperatures below average for the time of year, with highs around 11C. The Met Office forecasts that the chances of unsettled weather will be slightly lower than usual in the north and about the same as usual in the south from May 8 to May 22.
