Brighton Beach was filled with people on Wednesday, as it was the hottest day of the year so far. The UK has been experiencing a heatwave, which might not be everyone's cup of tea. But don't worry, the Met Office has announced that the scorching weather will soon give way to cooler temperatures.
The heatwave, which has been bringing warm air to the southern and northern parts of England, has resulted in record-breaking temperatures in some areas. In fact, on Tuesday, the hottest temperature of the year was recorded in Chertsey, Surrey, with the mercury reaching 30°C. However, not all parts of the UK have been affected by the heatwave, and the Met Office has assured that it will soon come to an end.
According to meteorologist Aidan McGivern, this is the peak of the heatwave and it will be the last hot day before the next hot spell. But when exactly will the weather change? The Met Office predicts that cooler Atlantic air will move in on Thursday morning, pushing the warm and humid air towards Europe. This will result in a drop of six to nine degrees in temperature in some areas compared to Wednesday.
The cooler air will bring unseasonable weather to Scotland, Northern Ireland, and the north of England, where it won't feel like June at all. Strong winds with gusts of up to 50mph and heavy downpours are expected in these areas. Meanwhile, people have been making the most of the heatwave in places like Falmouth, Cornwall, before it comes to an end.
Mr. McGivern also mentioned that it will turn windy, especially in the northwestern parts of the UK. While Thursday will start off with some sunshine and rising temperatures in the East Anglia and South East regions, the clouds and changing winds will result in a halt in the temperature rise. However, there will still be plenty of sunshine, especially in the southern and central parts of the UK. And for those who have been struggling to sleep in the heat, relief will come in the form of cooler nights.
As for the future, there are currently no signs of another heatwave. The Met Office predicts that the weather will remain largely unsettled over the coming weeks, with occasional rain and periods of dry, warm weather. So, there is still a chance to enjoy more sunny days this summer.
In London, the temperatures are set to drop through today and Friday into the weekend, with a maximum of 22°C on Friday and 24°C on Saturday. However, the UV levels will remain very high on both days, and pollen levels will also stay at a high level. As for Glastonbury Festival, which has been known for its muddy conditions in the past, the weather is looking quite pleasant this year. Temperatures at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset, are expected to reach around 21°C today and hover around 20°C over the weekend, with mild winds of up to 10mph.
Overall, while the heatwave might be coming to an end, there is still plenty of warm and sunny weather to look forward to in the UK. So, whether you're heading to Glastonbury Festival or planning a day at the beach, make sure to check the latest weather forecast with the Met Office.
