Temperatures hit record highs in the UK over the Spring Break weekend – but colder weather could be on the way. The latest weather maps from WX Charts show colder conditions across the country, turning icy blue in early June.

The Met Office recorded a temperature of 34.8C at London’s Kew Gardens on Monday 25 May; This is the highest temperature recorded in the meteorological spring (March, April and May). However, weather maps show that the mercury dropped to as low as 2C as cold weather arrived in the country on Friday, June 5. Temperatures across England are expected to remain between 10C and 16C the following day.

According to WX Charts, the temperature will be 2C in central Scotland at 6am on June 5th. Meanwhile, the mercury could simultaneously drop to 4C in Northern England, while temperatures are expected to be 8C in Newcastle and 9C in London.

The cool weather will continue throughout the day and the lowest temperature in Northern England and Scotland will be 11°C at 18:00 on 5 June. In London the temperature will be 16°C, while in Birmingham lows of 15°C can be expected and Plymouth, Manchester and Birmingham will see temperatures of 14°C.

Then the next day (Saturday 6 June), temperatures could be as low as 5°C by 6am in central Scotland. At the same time, temperatures will drop to 7C in Newcastle, 8C in Birmingham and 9C in London.

In its long-range forecast for the UK, which runs from Saturday 30 May to Monday 8 June, the Met Office states: “The south of the UK is expected to be generally fine and dry at the start of this period, with temperatures above normal. In the north it will be cloudier and a little rainy at times, as heavy in places.”

“Conditions are likely to become unstable across the whole of the UK as the period progresses. Atlantic weather systems will move in from the west, bringing showers or, at times, longer periods of rain. Rain is likely to be heaviest in some areas in the west and north-west. Temperatures are likely to be near normal overall.”

A glorious sunny bank holiday weekend is followed by even more unstable weather. The mercury rose above 30 degrees in many areas in the UK; The previous highest temperature for May (32.8 degrees) peaked at Kew Gardens on Monday.

The Met Office said the record was also set at Heathrow in Greater London (34.4C); Northolt, Greater London (34.2C); Teddington Bushy Park, Middlesex (34.0C), Benson, Oxfordshire (33.6C); Wisley, Surrey (33.3C); University of Reading, Berkshire (33.2C); Wellesbourne, Warwickshire (33.2C); Cippenham, Berkshire (33.0°C); Brize Norton, Oxfordshire (32.9°C); Charlwood, Surrey (32.9C); Houghton Hall, Norfolk (32.9°C) and Santon Downham, Suffolk (32.9°C).

Dan Suri, Chief Operational Meteorologist at the Met Office, said: “We have now provisionally broken the spring and May temperature record. “What we are seeing meteorologically is the impact of an increase in temperature under an area of ​​high pressure near the UK, allowing exceptional heat to build, allowing maximum and minimum temperatures to reach levels not previously reported for this time of year.

“Further heat is expected across much of England and Wales, with similar temperatures forecast for Tuesday. High pressure is expected to gradually fade later in the week, but maximum temperatures will still remain high, with a low of 30°C for some midweek and a high of 20°C later this week.”
