EXCLUSIVE: Peak hurricane season is nearly upon Britain, but it could be the remnants of such tropical episodes coming across the Atlantic that could dampen any chances of a late summer heatwave.
Southeast and eastern England will be drier with sunny spells but a few isolated showers are possible. On Sunday, a new frontal system will move across from the northwest, bringing rain to all areas. Monday should be largely dry with just the odd isolated shower as a ridge of high pressure topples across the UK. However, this will be a rather weak feature, and a new frontal system will move towards Scotland and Northern Ireland, bringing rain during the evening with some sleet or snow for the Highlands. Overnight, rain will also spread across Wales and England, although it might not quite reach eastern and southernmost England.
UK snow forecast: Temperatures could drop as low as -10C in Scotland in March (Image: WXCHARTS) This will keep things colder and drier than normal, but there is still some uncertainty on the position of the high. If conditions line up perfectly, as they did in early February, we could see a return of a very cold easterly blast. It s still too early to call at this time, but we will monitor the pattern closely for any signals of a return of the Beast from the East .
The BBC forecast added polar air could linger in the UK until early March, before statring to ease.
