Story summary
Temperatures across UK are set to drop this week after a warm autumn start. By Wednesday, afternoon highs will range from 11C in northern Scotland to 17C in southern England, marking an end to recent summer-like warmth that saw temperatures reach up to 28C. The last time no part of the UK reached 20C was on June 11. In the coming days, London will see highs of 22C, but by Thursday, temperatures are expected to drop into the mid-teens Celsius. This shift is attributed partly to weather systems moving in from the Atlantic, bringing spells of rain and showers across most areas, with some strong winds, especially in the northwest. Gardeners note this delay, as trees like the North American ash in Cornwall typically begin changing colors earlier but only started showing hints of autumn hues recently.
