Following a brief spell of warm weather, the UK is expected to experience a significant drop in temperatures with the arrival of Arctic winds, leading to snow in some regions.
Weather conditions across the UK are set to dramatically change following a brief period of unseasonably warm weather. Recently, temperatures reached a high of 21C, creating the hottest day of the year so far. This warm spell, however, has been forecasted to be short-lived, as Arctic winds are expected to cause temperatures to drop significantly.
Meteorological analyses have predicted that parts of the UK could see up to 30 hours of continuous snow, with temperature drops to 0-1C in northern regions and further chilling effects expected in parts of Scotland. Northern areas and Scotland may experience temperatures as low as -3C by next Thursday. According to weather experts, this shift is part of a pattern of fluctuating conditions which will feature alternating periods of warmer and cooler temperatures.
The Met Office has confirmed that the country should brace for cooler weather from Sunday to Tuesday, with temperatures aligning more closely with typical averages for April. Southern England, Wales, northern England, and eastern areas might see milder temperatures despite cloudier skies and chances of rain over the weekend.
The inclement weather set to arrive will contrast sharply with the recent sunny days, emphasizing the erratic nature of British weather. Residents in affected areas are encouraged to prepare for the colder weather and potential snowfall expected in the coming days.
