The sudden transition to cold wintry temperatures will likely catch many Brits off guard, especially as things are set to heat up in just a few days with highs of 20C expected in some parts of the UK. This temperature increase is due to a warmer front arriving from the Mediterranean, pushing the colder air towards Scandinavia.
On Wednesday, London and parts of the southeast will bask in summer-like temperatures of 21C, a full five degrees above the average daytime maximum of 16C. However, this warm spell doesn’t look set to last, so Brits should seize the opportunity to enjoy the mild temperatures while they last, reports the Mirror.
A dramatic drop in temperature is forecast to hit the UK, bringing an abrupt end to the recent warm spell. Weather charts indicate a significant chill is on the way, with icy conditions and potential snowfall expected to affect the entire country.

WX Charts maps show a blanket of blue covering the country, signalling a sharp decline in temperatures from the south-west to the north-east. According to the Met Office, there is a possibility of snow, although it may not be as widespread as some had anticipated.
A Met Office spokesperson commented: “There’s a chance of dusting of snow over the tops of the Scottish mountains over the next few days, though this is entirely typical of the time of year. That dusting of snow over the Scottish mountains will be part of a weather front that will bring some persistent rain to parts of western Scotland tonight and tomorrow, with a widely wet day for much of Scotland on Saturday.”
