Temperatures in parts of Europe are set to plummet by more than 15 degrees Celsius as a cold front sweeps across the continent, bringing relief from the intense heat. Relief from the relentless summer heat is finally on the way for western Europe, with unsettled conditions expected to deliver rain to the region. Temperatures are predicted to return to the seasonal average, with some areas in the UK experiencing a drop of around 3 degrees Celsius below normal by Thursday.
After a sweltering summer, the temperature drop of over 15 degrees Celsius compared to last Thursday's heat may come as a surprise. There are indications that significant rainfall could occur in southern parts of the UK this week as a cold front moves in from the Atlantic on Monday night and into Tuesday. On Monday, residents in southern England had been without rain for 62 consecutive days, according to the Met Office weather station in Wisley, Surrey.
This period of dryness was highlighted by the fact that the last recorded rainfall on the site on June 16 amounted to a mere 0.4mm.
