Brits set to freeze at night time however climate specialists make daring declare in new forecast
Brits are set to freeze at night, according to new long term Met Office forecasts.
But from next week, we’re still going to be hit with warm weather in the day – leaving many in a state of weather confusion. While most of the country is currently battling a swathe of downpours and cooler temperatures, the Met Office has updated its long term forecasts with a somewhat odd prediction for this time of year.
As we head into Autumn, many would have expected it to be cooler during the night as well as the daytime.

But according to the weather experts, from Monday, September 16, only one part of the day will cool down.
Lasting until Wednesday, September 25, a Met Office expert claimed: “The chance of some cloud and patchy rain or showers at first, more especially in central and/or northwestern areas, but by the middle of next week onwards high pressure is likely to become increasingly influential over the UK.

“This will likely lead to largely fine conditions for many areas, with the greatest chance of cloud and rain being across the far west and more especially north west, and perhaps a few showers occasionally in the far south east.
“Temperatures during this period are likely to be on the warmer side of average overall, but with settled conditions warm days could be offset by some chilly nights. Towards the end of this period there is a signal that the more settled conditions may cease.”

And heading further into what many call “spooky season” it doesn’t appear to get any less confusing.
The long term forecast leading up to Wednesday, October 9, makes for similarly confusing reading, as the Met Office predictions “more unsettled/changeable conditions”.

They said: “There are weak signals that the track of Atlantic low pressure systems may sit further south than is typical in the early Autumn, and lead to an increased chance of some impacts from rain and wind across the UK. Temperatures are signalled to remain either close to or slightly above average.”
