Parts of Britain will experience a sharp temperature drop to as low as -3C by Wednesday, May 6th, signaling a significant change from recent warmer conditions.

Major English cities such as Manchester and Birmingham are forecast to see lows of 2C on Wednesday evening, while London and other southern areas may experience around 6C.
