The Met Office has said there could be “air frost” this week
The Met Office has forecast “chilly nights” in parts of the UK this week alongside possible “frost” in the air at times.
It comes as the UK is set to see a generally “warm” week, with temperatures climbing into the mid 20s in places. But the week will also see cooler snaps as well as some strong wind and heavy rain.
The Met Office said that Monday (September 21) will be dry, warm and sunny across southern parts of the UK, with light winds forecast. More clouds and some patchy rain will be expected in the north and west of the country, with temperatures reaching highs of 24C in the south and 22C in the north.

A cold front will move over the country across Scotland and Northern Ireland on Tuesday (September 22), bring a mix of cloud and sunshine to the country. Temperatures will be warmer in the south east, reaching 25C or 26C.
More changeable conditions are then expected to hit from Wednesday.
Met Office Deputy Chief Forecaster, Tony Wisson said: “The forecast becomes more changeable from Wednesday as a series of weather fronts move across the UK.
“There remains some uncertainty over the exact track of a frontal system on Wednesday which could bring a spell of heavy rain, particularly across eastern and southeastern Scotland, and potentially parts of northern and northeastern England.”
Mr Wisson continued: “We’re closely monitoring this development and would encourage people to keep up to date with the latest forecasts over the coming days. It’s likely that many southern areas will remain largely dry.
“It’s set to be a notably chilly night on Wednesday into Thursday, with a chance of localised air frost in some rural locations, as cooler air moves in from the northwest.
“Thursday should bring long sunny spells for much of England and Wales, though we’re also monitoring the potential for strong winds to affect the far northwest of the UK. Temperatures in London may reach around 22°C, but another cool night is likely to follow in the south.
“With watchpoints ahead this week, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on the forecast as the week goes on.”
