UK Weather Alert: Cold Snap Looms Amidst High-Pressure Battle

The UK's weather is set for a dramatic change as a strong high-pressure system extending from Siberia engages with incoming Atlantic systems. This week, mild, wet, and windy conditions prevail, but the balance is expected to shift by Sunday.

High pressure building from the northeast will influence the weather over the North Sea and northern UK. This setup could steer further Atlantic lows into France and Spain, allowing cold air from Scandinavia to flood west.

Early next week, particularly by Monday, cold air may spread across all areas of the UK. There is uncertainty regarding the severity of this cold snap and the possibility of snow, although conditions could become cold enough for precipitation.
