After weeks of warm weather, the UK is set to experience a significant drop in temperature starting Tuesday, with highs falling from the low 20s to mid-teens by Wednesday, marking the first day since June when temperatures will stay below 20°C nationwide. This cooling trend will be accompanied by rain and stronger winds as cooler air moves across the country. However, this chill is expected to be short-lived, with temperatures rising back towards average over the weekend.

Story summary
After weeks of unusually warm weather, autumn is set to make its presence felt in the UK starting on Tuesday, as cooler air sweeps across the country from the north-west. Temperatures will drop sharply from the low 20s to the mid-teens by Wednesday, which could be the first day since June 11 when temperatures fail to reach 20C anywhere in the UK. This change will be particularly noticeable given the warm start to October, with Monday providing a final taste of summer-like conditions for southern and central parts of England and Wales. The cooler weather, accompanied by rain and stronger winds, is expected to extend into Wednesday and Thursday before temperatures rise towards average levels over the weekend. Cloudy and rainy conditions currently affecting parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland will spread further south on Tuesday, ushering in a distinctly autumnal feel for most of the country.
