UK weather this weekend shows north-south divide with varying conditions.

Today in the UK, we can expect a wide range of weather conditions, from heavy rain to above average temperatures. It's a bit of a surprise for many, as the typical stereotype is that the north will be cooler and wetter than the south.

But this weekend, things are turning upside down as we see a mix of weather patterns across the country. Just yesterday, a yellow weather warning was issued for south Wales and the west of England, which was in place until this morning. The Met Office is also cautioning that heavy rain could make an appearance in many parts of England and Wales throughout the weekend.

On the other hand, those in central and northwestern UK are in for a treat as they can expect temperatures to soar up to 25-26°C in some areas. It's almost like a final burst of summer before the season officially ends. Met Office's chief meteorologist, Matthew Lehnert, explains that there will be repeated spells of rain in the south, which could cause local disruptions over the next few days.

Meanwhile, Friday's yellow weather warning has been extended into Saturday. Lehnert adds that there's a possibility of more warnings being issued over the weekend. However, in the northern regions, high pressure will bring warmer and sunnier conditions, with temperatures higher than usual, especially in western Scotland. The eastern areas may experience cooler and cloudier weather due to winds coming in from the North Sea.

Deputy chief meteorologist, Dan Harris, mentions that the forecast for the weekend is a bit more uncertain than usual, similar to the previous week. This is because the weather pattern is more complex, with multiple areas of heavy rain and thunderstorms revolving around a slow-moving low-pressure system. The Met Office will continue to monitor the situation and issue warnings as needed.
