Temperatures are expected to double in some parts of the United Kingdom next week, according to meteorologists. The mercury plummeted to -2C in Santon Downham, Suffolk, on Monday, but that cold snap is set to be replaced by sunshine and warmer temperatures. The Met Office predicts that many areas will experience temperatures of at least double today’s levels. The warmest period of the week will be on Thursday, May 2, with highs of 16C expected in某些 regions. However, the Met Office warns that those in the north will experience drier weather than those in the south. The Met Office website states: “Temperatures will likely trend near or slightly above average, though some cooler interludes remain possible. Into early May, something of a north-south split looks possible, with relatively drier conditions further to the north and the greatest chance of rain further to the south.” Netweather forecasters reinforce this outlook on their blog and state Thursday, May 2 as likely the warmest day of next week. The mercury will reach highs of 12C in Newcastle next Thursday, while Leeds and South Yorkshire will see temperatures of around 8C today. Wind speeds will ease next week, leading to milder conditions in the north. However, some southern areas, such as south Wales, Cornwall, and Devon, may struggle to reach 11C next week, below average for the start of May. There is a greater chance of showers in the south on Thursday, May 2, especially across south Wales, Somerset, Wiltshire, and parts of the Midlands. The Met Office predicts that this rainfall is likely to continue into mid-May, particularly in southern counties. The Met Office website states that from Wednesday, May 8 to Wednesday, May 22, “In this period, the chances of unsettled weather are slightly less than usual in the north and about the same as usual further south. Therefore, some spells of wetter weather are likely for all, but perhaps especially southern areas with the driest conditions probably further north.”
