UK weather forecast: Met Office warns temperatures could DROP as weather front creeps in
A new weather front will reach the UK this week making temperatures drop dramatically for Scotland and Northern Ireland. The Met Office has warned showers will batter parts of the country as the heatwave will continue to hit the south. Met Office meteorologist Clare Nasir said temperatures could down as low as 13C. She said: “Through Wednesday evening showers tending to ease away but we’re watching this weather front coming in from the west bringing with it a little rain to the northern isles. “Never really amounting to much but the key feature of this front here will be a changing wind direction for Scotland and Northern Ireland tomorrow. “Fresher conditions coming in, certainly there a lot more comfortable than the last few days.

“Still muggy in the south in the early hours of Thursday morning and the clouds coming and going first thing. “But some strong sunshine coming through, it’s going to be another hot day across England and Wales with a scattering of showers. “Through Friday a similar situation, high pressure firmly in charge and that’s how we see the weekend warming up across Scotland and Northern Ireland again and remaining hot in the south.” BBC Weather forecaster Carol Kirkwood also warned there will be a “real drop” in temperatures for some parts of the UK this week while temperatures in the south of England remain high. Ms Kirkwood said it will be an overcast Wednesday morning for those on the North Sea coastline, which could cause showers in northern England and Scotland.

She added: “Again, southwest England, Wales, some showers and some of those showers will extend eastwards across central southern England. So, it’s going to feel cooler today.” The BBC Weather forecaster said temperatures will “feel cooler” for much of the UK on Wednesday. Ms Kirkwood said: “Now, there are showers, not all of us will see them. The best of the sunshine will be across north Wales and Northern Ireland. “You could have temperatures 26 or 27. As we go through the evening and overnight the showers will tend to fade. “Once again, we will have more cloud coming in from the North Sea across eastern areas and we have got a weather front coming in from the Atlantic, which by the end of the night will be straddled across parts of northwest Scotland and Northern Ireland.
