Remnants of Hurricane Erin May Disrupt UK's Bank Holiday Weekend
20 Aug
Summary
- High pressure dominating UK weather this week
- Cold front to move southwards, clearing clouds
- Sunnier skies expected in northern and eastern UK
With the last of the Summer Bank Holiday's fast approaching, Britons have been hoping for sunny conditions to enjoy their extra day off. However, the remnants of Hurricane Erin may have an influence on the UK's weather this weekend, potentially bringing unsettled patterns.
In the lead-up to the Bank Holiday, high pressure has been the dominant force across Britain, despite temperatures being slightly lower than the soaring 30°C heatwave figures the country has recently experienced. According to the Met Office, this is due to the high pressure being located to the north-west of Scotland, resulting in cooler conditions.
As the week progresses, a cold front is set to move southwards, allowing the high pressure to build more widely from the north. This will lead to a gradual clearance of clouds and the arrival of sunnier skies, particularly across northern and eastern parts of the UK on Wednesday.
