UK weather maps show 7C bitter August chill after scorching 37C heatwave

Temperatures in the UK are expected to fall dramatically with rain on the cards just days after another scorching heatwave is forecast to grip the nation with highs of 37C

Weather forecasts predict a new heatwave on the horizon as the Met Office warns temperatures could become “very warm again”, however after the initial hot period there is set to be a cold snap.

Weather maps produced by WXCharts using GFS data show a 7C chill after the scorching 37C forecast just days earlier.

Temperatures are expected to plummet on Tuesday, August 4 with lows of 7C in Scotland and Wales.

However, on July 31, some areas of the UK will be a whopping 30 degrees warmer. These highs are forecast to remain into August, with warms of 34C.

On Saturday August 1, temperatures will still sit in the 30s, with London warming up to 33C according to the weather maps. Suffolk and Norfolk are also likely to see highs of 34C.

Even in cooler areas temperatures are expected to be 27C.

The stark difference in weather may serve as a shock for many Brits. Weather maps show the coolest conditions in the Highlands of Scotland, however areas of Yorkshire will only be 8C.

In the South West some parts of Devon are forecast to sit at 9C.

London and surrounding areas are forecast the warmest temperatures of 13C according to the maps, still a harsh drop from days prior.

The Met Office warns in its longer range forecast from July 27 to August 5 that the UK will see ‘changeable’ conditions but does state that temperatures will largely be above average.

A spokesperson for the Met Office said: “A changeable period is likely overall, with many areas likely to see a mixture of bright or sunny spells and some rain at times.

“Northwestern areas are more likely to see the focus of rainfall, but southeastern areas should also see some showers. Confidence becomes lower into the start of August, but there are hints that high pressure could return for a time, which would mean dry conditions resuming, especially in the south.

“Winds will be mostly light or moderate, but occasionally fresh or strong around some coasts, mainly in the north and west.

“Temperatures will be near or above normal, warmest in the south, and perhaps becoming very warm again by the start of August.”
