UK set to turn cooler as unsettled weather continues
As temperatures drop through the week and it starts to feel more autumnal, is it now time to put the summer clothes away?
UK weather forecast predicts a cooler spell beginning on Tuesday as unsettled conditions persist. Northern and western regions of the UK are expected to experience spells of rain, particularly in the north. The following week may see a slight shift towards settled weather with temperatures rising slightly above average. However, the likelihood of a heatwave remains low.
On Tuesday, central and southern England will begin the day warm and humid, but northern and western parts will feel cooler. A cold front moving across the country will bring cooler northern westerly winds and showers, with Scotland, Northern Ireland, and parts of northwestern England and Wales experiencing some heavy rainfall. Maximum temperatures will be around five degrees lower than Monday's values, ranging from 17 to 22°C across the UK.
A brief respite from rain is forecasted on Wednesday, with the rest of the week remaining unsettled and prone to further spells of rain. Overnight temperatures are expected to drop to 8-12°C, making early commutes potentially chilly. Despite the cooler conditions, it's important to remember that September can be unpredictable, with conditions changing rapidly.
While some areas may see warmer temperatures returning by Saturday, the likelihood of a September heatwave remains slim.
