After a cold spell, warmer weather is on the horizon for Britain as forecasters predict a shift in conditions. Temperatures plummeted into single digits across the nation and hit 0 degrees Celsius in northern areas due to a persistent blast of cold Arctic air. However, weather fronts are expected to bring milder temperatures in the coming days.
According to the latest Met Office forecasts, daytime highs will climb back to the low-to-mid teens this week, reaching 15 degrees Celsius on Tuesday and peaking at 16 degrees Celsius in southern England by Friday afternoon. Meteorologist Greg Dewhurst mentioned a weather system moving in from the northwest, bringing cloud and rain across the country over the next day.
James Madden from Exacta Weather forecasts further wintry showers in Scotland, with the potential for a lasting cold snap until Halloween. Wet and windy conditions are expected to ease off, with lighter rain showers and brighter spells in most areas. Monday will see sunny spells and isolated showers, with heavy rain moving in later in the day across Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
The weather is expected to remain changeable with occasional rain or showers, particularly in the northwest, while the southeast stays drier and brighter. Temperatures are set to return to near-average levels across the country.
