UK weather: London hits 24°C before Tuesday's rain arrives as Atlantic low
breaches the South West
The Met Office has confirmed that the UK has entered a markedly different
weather pattern after weeks of heatwaves and prolonged dry weather. "After an
extraordinary summer dominated by heatwaves," low pressure has replaced the
high-pressure systems that brought so much heat and sunshine earlier in the
summer. The jet stream has shifted south, allowing cooler air to spread across the
UK.
The video shows how last week's rain has cooled the UK, bringing temperatures
below average for the first time this summer. Even during the upcoming sunny
weekend, temperatures are expected to remain below normal.
The only slight exception will be Saturday, when the south of the UK will see briefly
positive anomalies, with London reaching 22°C and Brighton 24°C before cooler air
settles back in.
