A fresh weather map is suggesting that Brits are in for quite the cold snap in the coming days as parts of the UK will be chillier than Oslo in Norway – and here’s exactly when.
As summer approaches, temperatures are expected to plunge to a frigid 2C. These maps, produced by WX Charts using MetDesk data, demonstrate that Oslo can expect a mild 7C by comparison in weather forecasts.
That prediction is for 6am on Tuesday, June 4, while the Scottish Highlands brace for temperatures a whole five degrees colder than that. The charts reveal a more moderate warmth of between 6 and 8C pushing into Northumberland and Cumbria though.

As we move south, Merseyside should see a more welcoming 10C while similarly, Lincolnshire’s coast is predicted to touch upon 9C. Varying degrees across the Midlands, parts of Wales, and the South of England will be felt with Kent expecting 9C.
Pembrokeshire could feel 10C whilst East Anglia anticipates chilling at 9C levels. Cornwall, seemingly experiencing gentler conditions, can expect the day’s peak temperature and could hit a lovely 14C, as per WX Charts forecast.
As the day warmly matures, the highlands might hit 14C and a pleasant 16C is expected in the Midlands, East Anglia and some parts of southern England by 6pm.
Meanwhile, the Met Office’s long-term forecast proposes a steady stretch of settled, dry weather, especially favouring those in the southeast, reports the Express. Nevertheless, the northwest could find itself continuously disturbed with periodic showers, potentially lengthier spells of rain at times, and mildly windy conditions.

This forecast period, spanning from May 27 to June 5, suggests “Temperatures are likely to reflect this, remaining close to or perhaps a little on the cool side across the northwest, whereas the south is likely to be a little warmer than average.”
Netweather’s latest long-range forecast for May 27 to June 4 hints at Brits finally getting a break from the dreary weather, with an “increasing chance” of the jet stream moving north and sunny skies making a comeback from the south.
The forecast suggests that while the south and east of Blighty might bask in some much-needed warm and dry sunshine, those in the northwestern parts should keep their brollies at the ready as unsettled conditions are on the horizon.

According to Netweather, the north of Britain is expected to be soggy, with rainfall above average, whereas the south could see near-average downpours. Sunshine levels across the UK are likely to hover around or just below what’s typical for this time of year.
Temperature-wise, it seems there won’t be any major surprises, with the mercury readings anticipated to be close to the seasonal norm, although eastern England could enjoy warmer climes than usual.
