UK weather: Latest maps reveal exact date 6C cold plunge hits Britain
The latest weather maps from paint a grim picture as northern areas of the country shiver at 6C in the coming weeks.
Britain is likely to witness cold weather conditions as a cold snap hits parts of the UK as Britons' long wait for summer continues. The temperature levels may plunge to 6C in the northern areas of the country on August 1, weather maps have revealed.
Some parts of the country have been witnessing interchangeable weather with many battered by rain and thunderstorms in July.
Even on Monday, rain and cloudy conditions were predicted across the UK with some areas seeing showers.
Now the latest maps from WXCharts paint a grim picture as northern areas of the country shiver at 6C at the start of the next month.
Most years, the end of July and August tends to see a marked improvement as temperatures begin to climb up, however, weather maps predict that that may not be the case this year.
Maps from WXCharts suggest that mercury levels will fall as low as 6C in areas around Edinburgh and Aberdeen.
The Met Office’s long-range forecast between July 27 and August 5 also hints at “wetter weather across northern region”
It read: “Sunny spells and showers, some of which could be heavy and thundery, are expected across many parts of the UK on Saturday, together with below-average temperatures.
“By Sunday drier weather is likely to develop, with spells of sunshine across most parts and temperatures close to normal.
