The holiday heat wave comes to an abrupt end today with falling temperatures and cloud forecasts.

As a cold front heads south, mercury will plummet between 10 and 12 ° C in some parts of the country.

On the east coast, temperatures will drop from 6 to 9 ° C, ending above-average temperatures that the British have enjoyed for much of the past few weeks.

The cold weather will come with gusting winds, which the BBC predicts could reach speeds of up to 40 to 45 mph in the east and along the English Channel.

The south west coast of England will see the warmer weather today, where mercury will hover around mid-teens, peaking at 17C in Plymouth and 15C in Brighton and Southampton.

It is also likely to rain as the Meteorological Office forecasts winter rains in Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England.

Giving the last forecast, a The Met Office spokesman said: “Sunday will be a bit of a shock to the system in many places, feeling much colder than in recent days.”

“This process begins until Saturday night and night when a cold front in northern Scotland moves south to Northern Ireland and northern England.”

Cold weather is prepared to bring rain and gusty winds

Wind speed could reach 40 to 45 mph

“Behind, the air gets much colder with winter rains and some icy patches, but to the south it is still relatively temperate with temperatures holding at double figures.”

“Until Sunday, this cold front will continue its journey south through England and Wales, there will not be much rain at this stage, but rather a real dividing line between the relatively warm climate hanging in the south and something a little colder for the north. “

“In fact, temperatures could be 10 to 12 degrees cooler at some points compared to what we saw on Saturday afternoon.

“The cold weather continues until Monday, but with a few rains along the east coast.

“Elsewhere, a lot of dry weather, but the wind will really have an advantage, particularly in the southeast corner, feeling just 5 degrees or so in London.”
