Following a period of unusually cold weather across much of the UK, temperatures are expected to rise next week, bringing a return of spring warmth. Some regions might even see afternoon temperatures surpassing 20°C (68°F), which would be a notable shift from the current chilly spell. However, this warming trend will not necessarily mean consistent sunshine or dry conditions, as weather fronts are predicted to deliver rainfall intermittently, particularly affecting northern and western areas.
The recent cold weather has been driven by northerly winds ushering in Arctic air, which has kept daytime temperatures below the seasonal average and caused late-season frosts overnight. This pattern will persist through Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, with daytime highs hovering between 9°C and 14°C (48°F to 57°F). Though there will be some sunny intervals, blustery showers are likely, and the chance of frost overnight remains. These cold conditions arise due to a combination of high pressure over the Atlantic and low-pressure systems to the north and east, directing chilly air southward.
As the weekend approaches, the weather pattern is forecast to slowly evolve. Westerly winds are expected to develop, helping push temperatures closer to typical mid-May values of 12°C to 18°C (54°F to 64°F) by Sunday. Looking further ahead to the middle of next week, the situation is projected to reverse, with low pressure moving to the west of the UK and high pressure situated to the east. This shift should allow southerly winds from the subtropics to bring warmer conditions.
While forecasts for next week remain tentative, models indicate that many parts of the country could reach temperatures in the high teens or low twenties Celsius. Some areas in southern England and Wales might even see temperatures rising into the mid-twenties Celsius. The precise warmth will depend on the locations of pressure systems, the temperature of the incoming air masses, and the amount of sunshine received. Despite the rising temperatures, rain showers—possibly heavy and thundery—will likely continue, particularly in northern and western regions. Meanwhile, southern and eastern parts are expected to remain relatively drier. Even as conditions warm, periods of rainfall mean umbrellas remain advisable for many
