UK Weather Forecast: Frost This Morning And Greece-Like Weather To Come Because You Live In A Weird Country

Includes educational video.

Those heady summer days of 30+ temperatures day after day are over and the British weather has well and truly returned to being reliably unreliable.

Many waking this morning were greeted by the first chilly signs of autumn as a blanket of frost covered everything – helpfully and accurately spelled out by Bloke from Kettering.

Nice one Bloke.

And because the UK is a rather weird place when it comes to weather, you’ll not be too surprised to learn it will be completely different in a couple of days.

It will start to get warmer in England and Wales on Wednesday, with the whole of England enjoying temperatures of around 19 to 20C, the Met Office predicts.

In the south things are even weirder as London and the south east of England temperatures peak at around 21/22C on Thursday – the same as in the Greek capital Athens.

Sadly, the same can’t be said for the whole of the UK, as northern Ireland and Scotland are set for more rain on Tuesday, with strong winds expected too. This will clear up as the week continues.

The weather will be dramatically different to what we experienced last week, as storms Ali and Bronagh – the first named ones of the season – hit within just days of each other.

The latter brought gale-force winds and flooding, but Storm Ali caused greater damage, with two people losing their lives.

The bad weather comes after one of the hottest summers on record, which saw Faversham, Kent record temperatures as high as 35.5C.

And if you want to learn a bit more about why weather in Britain is so changeable, here’s a helpful little video from the BBC which employs some very loud rugby players, for some reason.
