Warmer weather is on the horizon for Britain as the cold spell of autumn is expected to come to a close, as indicated by weather experts.
Last night, temperatures plunged to near-freezing levels across the nation, with some areas in the far north experiencing temperatures as low as 0 degrees Celsius due to a persistent influx of cold air from the Arctic region. However, a shift in weather patterns is anticipated to bring about a change in conditions in the coming days.
The most recent forecasts from the Met Office suggest that daytime temperatures will climb back to the low-to-mid teens in numerous regions this week, peaking at 15 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, October 28, before reaching 16 degrees Celsius in southern England by Friday afternoon.
In a recent update on Sunday, Met Office meteorologist Greg Dewhurst remarked, “We have experienced a cold northerly airflow over the weekend, but attention is now turned to the northwest as the approaching weather system is expected to bring cloud cover and rainfall from that direction, sweeping southeast across the country within the next 24 hours.
“The start of next week will remain windy, but there are indications of a more Atlantic weather pattern setting in, leading to a gradual rise in temperatures as the week progresses.”
Meanwhile, James Madden from Exacta Weather predicts the likelihood of “additional and possibly heavier snow showers on elevated terrain in Scotland” from Tuesday to Wednesday, with the potential for the cold spell to persist until Halloween.
Following several days of damp and stormy autumn weather, conditions are anticipated to ease off starting tomorrow, with any remaining rain or showers likely to become lighter and less impactful away from certain areas by later in the day. While some regions may still experience gusty winds initially, particularly along northern and western coastal areas, most parts are expected to see brighter intervals with variable cloud cover, away from the showery and wintry conditions further north, by Monday, Tuesday, and into the middle of the week.
Monday is forecasted to begin with sunny spells and isolated showers, with a significant band of occasionally heavy rain expected to move in by the evening, covering a large portion of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, while southeastern areas are likely to remain dry.
The day will start with sunny spells and scattered showers, which will ease off as sunny intervals prevail through the afternoon. Cloud cover will increase in the west, with rain anticipated to arrive in the evening, accompanied by breezy conditions.
The weather is expected to remain changeable, with occasional rain or showers, especially in the northwest, while the driest and sunniest conditions will be towards the southeast. Temperatures are set to return to near-average levels for most regions.
