The Met Office issued alerts for the UK as the country braces for colder temperatures and inclement weather. Here are the key points to note:
- Night frosts and wintry showers expected due to a cold airmass moving through the region
- Yellow weather warning in place for parts of Scotland, with strong winds and potential flooding
- Heavy rain forecasted for the Northern Isles, leading to possible flooding and traffic disruptions
- Strong wind warning covering Aberdeen, Angus, and parts of Scotland with gusts up to 65mph
- Colder weather with hail and thunder likely across the UK mid-week, with wintry showers possible in Scottish mountains
- Milder conditions expected later in the week as Atlantic air moves in, returning temperatures to seasonal averages
Today’s weather outlook includes sunshine and isolated showers in the south, with rain expected to move south across England and Wales. Meanwhile, the north will experience blustery showers and heavy rain with gale force winds in the far northeast of Scotland. Temperatures are set to drop tonight, with clear spells and blustery showers in the north and west, potentially leading to patchy frost.
Wednesday will see a mix of sunshine and scattered, locally heavy, blustery showers mainly in the north and west regions. The day will feel chilly for most, accompanied by a brisk north-to-northwesterly wind. On Thursday, expect sunshine and showers, gradually becoming drier and less windy. The south will enjoy mostly fine weather with sunshine, while the north anticipates wet and windy conditions later in the day along with night frosts.
