People have been taking advantage of the beautiful sunshine and cool breeze, spending time outdoors. However, the temperatures have dropped significantly overnight, with some places in the UK reaching below zero degrees Celsius. In fact, Yorkshire recorded a low of -2.7C°, making it quite chilly. But, don't worry, warmer temperatures are on the horizon.
According to the Met Office, this weekend is going to be a toasty one, with temperatures reaching the high teens and even the twenties in some areas. Imagine feeling the warmth of 23°C soon! That's definitely something to look forward to. However, before we bask in the warm weather, let's take a look at what happened overnight on Thursday.
Widespread frost covered the UK, with all four countries experiencing below zero temperatures. In Topcliffe, North Yorkshire, the temperature dropped to -2.7C°, making it the coldest September night in Wales since 2019. Jason Kelly, the chief meteorologist at the Met Office, explains that the cold Arctic air we've been feeling will soon be replaced by warmer westerlies over the weekend.
He also mentions that high pressure will bring clear and sunny weather to the south, but there is a low-pressure area to the North West. This may cause some weather fronts to pass through Scotland and Northern Ireland, bringing rain and thick clouds. But, don't let that dampen your spirits, as the weather is expected to warm up again soon.
On Sunday, the front will move southeast, bringing some clouds and light rain to parts of Northern England and Wales. However, the rest of the UK will still get to enjoy clear skies and sunny spells. The warmer temperatures are here to stay, as they are expected to continue into next week. In fact, some areas, like London, may even reach a high of 23C.
Deputy chief meteorologist David Oliver explains that after the front passes on Sunday, high pressure will build, bringing dry and pleasant weather to most parts of the UK for the majority of next week. So, if you were worried about any rain ruining your plans, don't be, as it is only expected to affect the extreme northwest of Scotland on Monday and Tuesday. Looks like we have some lovely weather to look forward to!
