The current heatwave gripping the UK is expected to conclude this weekend, with new weather maps predicting a dramatic temperature decrease. By Sunday, July 19, temperatures could fall from the high 20s Celsius to a chilly 5C in some areas, marking a substantial change from the recent warmth.
Scotland is anticipated to experience the coldest conditions early on Sunday. While specific areas like Cumbria and Durham might see temperatures under 10C, much of England is expected to remain above this threshold, with the South West potentially reaching 16C.
The Met Office also forecasts potential rainfall in the northern parts of the country, though most of the UK is expected to remain dry and sunny.
