As the days grow shorter and the air becomes chillier, it seems that winter has come early this year. Jack Frost has made his presence known, with snow falling in parts of the UK for the first time in months. People are wondering why the temperatures have dropped so suddenly, and it turns out that this September has seen the earliest frost in 20 years. This is quite a contrast to previous years, where we experienced heatwaves and temperatures reaching as high as 34C in September.
While this cold snap may not be as extreme as the infamous "Beast from the East" that hit London in 2018, it is still quite a shock to the system for many. The sudden change in weather can be attributed to low pressure moving in from the northeast, meeting with high pressure from the Atlantic. This combination has brought in colder Arctic winds, causing the temperature to drop.
But it's not all doom and gloom, as the weather is expected to warm up again this weekend, with temperatures reaching a balmy 20C. This will give Britons one last taste of summer before it bids us farewell for the year. However, earlier this week, London experienced heavy downpours, and the Met Office has warned of possible showers and a cold wind today and tomorrow. Meteorologist Clare Nasir explains that there will be some drier moments and a mix of sunshine and clouds, with temperatures ranging from 14C to 15C in the south.
Friday is expected to be a dry day, with the possibility of some patchy frost overnight on Thursday. Nasir also mentions that a ridge of high pressure will move in, bringing a cold start but also some sunshine. However, this will all change over the weekend as a new weather system moves in from the northwest. Temperatures are expected to return to normal for this time of year, with highs of up to 21C in the south.
