UK Weather Alert: The weather conditions can be more harsh from the beginning of this week. The temperature can drop more, which will give a chilly experience especially during the night. With a temperature reading in a single digit, strong wind also can be there across various parts of the United Kingdom.

On Sunday, the morning was clear and sunny but the temperature was on the lower side, with chances of rain. Chances of rain are also there in the beginning of the week. Even, the temperature can go down close to the freezing point. The probability of lite snowfall is also there in the UK.

Arctic air carring the winter

“We’ve had a cold northerly airflow across us so far this weekend, but all eyes to the northwest as this next weather system brings cloud and rain in from the northwest and sweeps it southeast across the country over the next 24 hours”, Greg Dewhurst, a Met Office meteorologist informed.

“It remains blustery into the beginning of next week, but signs of a bit more Atlantic weather coming in, allowing temperatures to rise a little further as the week goes on. But this morning a chilly start, particularly where we’ve got the sunny skies across central and eastern parts, but it quickly clouds across Northern Ireland and Scotland, with outbreaks of rain moving in here and pushing slowly southeastward through the day.”

Chances of rain

The sudden drop of temperature and chances of sparkling of snow is in the UK because of the Arctic wind. Temperatures have dipped into single digits thanks to a cold northerly airflow this weekend, as it is stated in media reports.

“The rain could bump into some colder air across the Scottish mountains to give a little snow here, not unusual for the time of year, and the rain by the afternoon reaching the higher ground of Wales and the southwest of England, the southeast of England, generally staying cloudy, but perhaps thick enough by the end of the afternoon for some light and patchy rain developing here”, Dewhurst added.
