UK weather forecast: temperatures plummet as May’s heat wave is replaced by wind and rain

Next week you’ll see cooler, “springier” weather after the warm, sunny periods seen during the first half of the holiday weekend, the Met Office said.

For many, an increase in wind and rain may soften the blow from the UK coronavirus blockade, which appears to be continuing.

Saturday temperatures peaked at 24.9 ° C in London, and largely stayed in the 20s for many parts of the UK, prompting many people to flock to the parks.

Police in the southeast reported having had to move hundreds of people from the beaches.

On Sunday, maximum temperatures fell around 10 degrees across the country, with a cloud front moving south, although some parts of the south remained warm.

The Met Office added that the UK will continue to see more clouds and wind in the coming week, but “nothing significant or unusual.”

Miserable weather may help encourage the British to stay indoors even though restrictions have been eased

Some parts of the UK can expect to see more freezing mornings.

While few people are expected to take advantage of the sunbathing beginning this Wednesday as closing restrictions loosen, temperatures should start to rise as summer approaches.

Cooler temperatures and rain will be a long way from the bank holiday

“Part of the charm of spring is that you can get both types of weather,” said a spokesman for the Meteorological Office.

“May can be quite a messy month, approaching the beginning of summer. It is not unusual for spring to have a warm part and a cooler part.”

The return to gloomier weather comes after the record-breaking April sun, and all four UK countries ranked it among the five sunniest since it was recorded in a 1929 series.

Wind and rain are scheduled for this week.

In the last week of the month, total precipitation rose in many places, but the UK overall only received 40% of April’s average precipitation, according to official Met Office figures.
