Arctic Blast to Hit UK, Bringing Freezing Temperatures and Possible Snow
The UK is bracing for a severe cold snap, as an Arctic blast is set to send temperatures plummeting below freezing, possibly reaching as low as -5°C. This week’s weather will deliver an early taste of winter, with forecasters warning that Britain could be colder than Moscow over the coming days. Daytime highs are expected to drop dramatically, with some areas seeing frosty nights and the chance of snow, particularly in Scotland and on higher ground in England.
Starting Thursday, the UK will face a four-day freeze, with biting winds and cold air from the Arctic making conditions feel even chillier. The Met Office has already alerted people to the possibility of snow on Scottish mountains, and there’s potential for wintry showers in other parts of the country as well. BBC Weather reports that the cold front could bring sleet or snow to elevated areas in northern England and possibly as far south as Exmoor. By Friday, temperatures in parts of southern England may struggle to reach double digits, with lows dipping near freezing in the South and as far down as -5°C in the North.

This cold snap coincides with the remnants of ex-Hurricane Kirk, which is expected to bring unsettled weather. While the worst of the storm’s impact will likely be felt in France and Spain, its effects will still be noticeable in the UK. Blustery winds and rain are predicted to sweep the southern coastline on Wednesday and Thursday, adding to the already miserable conditions. However, the UK may dodge the storm’s full force as it moves toward mainland Europe.
Forecasters from Netweather and the Met Office are advising people to prepare for colder conditions, especially overnight. Frost is expected in many areas by Thursday night, so if you haven’t already, it might be time to dig out your winter coats. While the storm will weaken significantly by the time it reaches British shores, its lingering effects, combined with the Arctic air mass, are set to make this a chilly and possibly snowy start to October.
In summary, the UK is in for a cold and frosty week, with temperatures dropping rapidly and the first snow of the season potentially arriving in some regions. As the Arctic blast sweeps across the country, make sure to stay prepared for winter-like conditions ahead.
