UK Heatwave Ends: 10C Plunge & Frost Expected!
8 Apr
Summary
- Temperatures will fall by 10C, bringing an end to recent warmth.
- Frost is expected in some areas following the sharp temperature drop.
- Scotland could see temperatures as low as -2C by Friday morning.
Brits are advised to enjoy the current warm April weather as a significant temperature drop is imminent. Temperatures are expected to plunge by up to 10C in many areas, marking a stark contrast to the recent pleasant conditions. This shift is attributed to a cold weather front moving in from the north-west.
The Met Office has warned that Thursday night will feel notably colder, with a risk of frost developing. Showers are predicted to become more widespread as temperatures fall markedly. This cooling trend will affect various regions, with London seeing a drop from 26C to 15C, South Wales from 22C to 12C, and Yorkshire from 22C to 11C.
By Friday morning, temperatures could dip as low as -2C in parts of Scotland, with other areas experiencing lows between 0C and 4C. The forecast for the weekend indicates unsettled conditions with further rain and showers, though some drier intervals are expected. Frost is likely by the end of the working week, with snow possible on the Scottish mountains.
