Summary
- UK faces unseasonal cold snap after warm May bank holiday.
- Temperatures could plummet to -1C in some areas next week.
- Showers and potential thunderstorms expected over the weekend.
Following a warm and sunny bank holiday weekend where southern areas reached 23C, the UK is set to experience a dramatic shift in weather. Weather maps indicate a potential sharp and unseasonal cold snap with temperatures possibly falling to -1C in affected regions.
Parts of Aberdeenshire, Newcastle upon Tyne, and Lancashire are flagged as potentially experiencing the coldest conditions around May 11 and 12. The unsettled weather begins Sunday with wet and showery conditions likely across much of England and Wales, alongside potential thunderstorms.
While conditions may improve with brighter intervals, the forecast for Monday remains changeable with scattered showers. Beyond the bank holiday, a noticeable chill is expected in northern and north-eastern areas from Monday through midweek, bringing a mix of sunshine and showers.
Looking further ahead to May 7, drier spells are anticipated, but areas of low pressure could bring rain, particularly to the south and east, before spreading north.
