weather front.Ex-tropical Storm Alex is heading our way from Bermuda and while it will lose much of its anger as it sweeps across the Atlantic, Britain will still bear the brunt of the tailwind that will bring strong blasts and rain to these shores from tonight (June 9).It will eventually transition from a tropical storm to a deep low-pressure system, which is unusual for this time of the year, as they are normally prevalent in the autumn months.There will be gusts of around 45mph that will batter exposed coasts, with winds expected to exceed 55mph in rural northern spots.Met Office meteorologist Aidan McGivern said: “Alex transitions into a mid-latitude low as it pushes into the Atlantic and is carried by the jet stream for its arrival later Thursday and Friday.“In June, this is quite notable for its depth, and the most likely outcome is that it will bring an unseasonably windy period later Thursday and Friday.“The strongest winds arrive after dark on Thursday evening and on Friday as the front moves through the winds pick up further.”As the storm heads into Europe, we will se a blustery day on Saturday (June 11), although temperatures may push into the low 20s.

Storm Alex may be followed by several hurricanes in the West and although these don’t normally reach Britain, they could still stir up some very unsettled weather across these parts.Jim Dale, meteorologist for British Weather Services, told the Daily Express: “This could be the first of a few ex-tropical storms to affect the UK weather over the next few months.

The Met Office have confirmed that Brits could see highs of 23C in the coming days as there is “plenty of sunshine” on the way.Thermometers will rocket this weekend, with weather charts showing ground temperatures touching up to the mid-twenties in the following days. Jim Dale, meteorologist for British Weather Services, said: “After it turns a little bit cooler towards the end of the week, the hot weather will arrive at the weekend.

asthma attacks.Experts said more than three million people in the UK have breathing conditions which could flare up as the temperatures begin to soar.Dr Andy Whittamore, of Asthma and Lung UK, said: “These attacks can leave people fighting for breath, which can be terrifying.“When pollen levels are at their highest this can be deadly for those with lung conditions, like asthma, who can suffer serious symptoms and have life-threatening attacks.“People should check pollen and air pollution forecasts in their local area, so they can avoid going outdoors as much as possible on high pollen days.”The medic also advised people to use preventer inhalers to reduce airway swelling before it starts – and to carry reliever inhalers to relax muscles if pollen levels rise suddenly.Britain will slap on the sun cream during a five-day “Bermuda Bake” next week as the mercury hits the mid to high-20s. Tropical air driven by a weather pattern known as a Bermuda high will sweep in from Sunday.

It could be a record-breaking month for some parts of the UK as the nation looks set to get blasted by a mini-heatwave with warm air set to arrive from Italy, the South of France and Africa.The sweltering heat could become so extreme some experts have tipped to May 2022 to smash the current record for hottest May day. Originally recorded in 1925, the current record stands at 27.8C and was set in Camden, North London. The sudden rise in temperature has come as a result of warm air arriving from Italy and the South of France which will see thermometers reach into the high 20Cs during the second half of May.

heatwave sweeps over the nation. The previous highest temperature this year was 23.4C, recorded in St James's Park, London, on April 15.

weather will continue throughout the weekend across many parts of the UK, according to forecasts.Pleasant temperature high in the upper teens and low twenties have been predicted by both BBC Weather and the Met Office, with this warm spell expected to last into next week.It comes after St James's Park in London saw the mercury rise to 23.3C on Friday (May 6), almost matching 2022's current record of 23.4C.Some light showers could however spoil the fun for some in the south and south-eat of England on Saturday (May 7), with the Met Office forecast reading: "Early low cloud and drizzle across SE England slowly giving way to brighter skies but also a few showers. Elsewhere, most parts dry with warm sunny spells and light winds.

Weather forecasters have announced that "proper summer" is starting in a matter of days with a balmy 25C heatwave set to engulf the UK. The Met Office has already teased that temperatures will be "warm, perhaps very warm" towards the end of May and now other forecasters are agreeing.

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist David Oliver said: “The high-pressure that has been dominating the UK in recent days will move away to the south, allowing a low-pressure system to move in from the northwest.“This will bring with it some more unsettled weather with showers or some longer spells of rain across the north on Saturday and then southern areas on Sunday.“A good deal of dry weather is expected on Monday with most areas only seeing some isolated showers and mild temperatures, widely in the mid-teens.”Some forecasters however predict that this weekend will begin a two-week long Atlantic blast that will bring with it bitters lows along with heavy rain.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletter by clicking here.According to weather forecaster Jim Dale from the British Weather Services many people could be waking up to icy frosts, with these being more likely in northern areas.Estimating where these might hit, he said: "You're just going to see minus temperatures – -1C, 0C, 1C or 2C – particularly if we get sufficient cloud breaks, particularly in valley areas."So it's obviously the Glens, the valleys of the Pennines and Cumbria and places like that."Hayfever sufferers in England have meanwhile been told to expect elevated pollen counts in the next few days, with the Met Office forecasting medium and high levels in Yorkshire, London and the southwest from Friday to Sunday.

UK is set to endure a two-week long Atlantic blast that will bring with it a bitter frost along with heavy rain, it has been reported. According to weather forecaster Jim Dale, the likelihood of frost will increase the further you move North.He told the Daily Express: "[Frost] will depend on the cloud cover.

weather is banished by a new colder weather front, according to new forecasts.Freezing temperatures, icy frosts and snow showers are likely in the days ahead as cooler winds approach from the north. Weather maps from independent forecaster WXCharts show overnight lows of -2C in England and Wales on Tuesday (April 25), with things also expected to drop to freezing again on Wednesday night.It comes as the jet stream bringing mild weather to the UK has reportedly 'split', according to one weather expert.Jim Dale, meteorologist for British Weather Services, told the Express.co.uk: “The jet stream has dislocated into two halves.“One of these is to the north of the UK, and the other over the Continent, and in between is a large area of high pressure.

UK could drop a staggering 26C in just a matter of days, according to a Met Office meteorologist. Good Friday (April 15) was the hottest day of the year so far as a scorching 23.4C was recorded in St James's Park, London.

weather modelling maps show that the UK could be in for some shock flurries of snow at the start of May. Temperatures are starting to cool down following an Easter weekend scorcher which saw the hottest day of the year recorded last Friday (April 15). However, according to WX Charts, things may be going from one extreme to another with an Arctic weather front moving across the country within two weeks.

UK's Easter heatwave is set to bring our hottest temperature of the year so far for one hour tomorrow, according to one weather forecaster.The current highest temperature recorded this year was 20.5C in Northolt, West London back in March, but that soon should be blown out of the water.For the past few weeks forecasters have been teasing an Easter weekend scorcher which looks set to start tomorrow afternoon.According to Netweather, Brits will be basking in a glorious 22C heat on Friday (April 15) at around 4pm.Luckily, given the absence of any severe winds, Netweather say that it will really feel like 22C.That reading is just for London, but other forecasters say the mercury will also be soaring elsewhere in the UK.Met Office meteorologist Annie Shuttleworth said the East of England will see the best of the weather with temperatures climbing up to 22C today and tomorrow. Agreeing with those predictions Jim Dale, a meteorologist for British Weather Services, told The Sun: "The trend is for temperatures to rise.

Britain and stay with us right up until Easter, with the Met Office warning of 'more snow this week'. It comes as temperatures are expected to dip down again from today following a milder start to the week, thanks to a meandering jet stream across the AtlanticSnow is expected to return to roads and pavements across the nation in the next few days, with maps from independent weather forecaster WX Charts showing accumulations of 2cm per hour occurring over northern England and Scotland on Thursday (April 7).Further lighter snowfalls are also predicted on Friday in the UK, while Netweather say overnight lows of -5C will be seen in some parts of north Scotland.The weather outlook from the Met Office for Thursday to Saturday reads: "Unsettled with wintry showers or longer spells of rain and hill snow Thursday and Friday, sunny spells in between.

Met Office has warned that more snow is to come this week with temperatures set to take another icy plunge.Weather in the UK has been grisly for some time now despite a glorious warm spell sending temperatures soaring last month. Last week saw the mercury plummet below zero as millions of Brits were blasted with snow, and this week could be even worse.In their forecast for Tuesday (April 5) to Thursday (April 7), the Met Office say: "Rain for many northern areas Tuesday, brighter in the south.

Met Office is predicting freezing conditions on Sunday morning before temperatures rise at the start of next week.They encourage Brits to stay cautious about the ice and to take care when out walking and driving.High pressure is moving in from the west, bringing warmer and wet weather, but there is also the likelihood of snow when it mixes with cold air from the north.Meanwhile, maps from WXCharts show widespread snow up and down the country next Friday and Saturday, with up to 25 centimeters falling in Wales and Scotland.Torrential rain and gales after the weekend will add to the misery before the gates to the North Pole fling back open.Britain is just days away from an Arctic hell with further snow and -11C temperatures about to be unleashed by a "descending polar front".Monday will be overcast and unsettled with thick cloud cover and outbreaks of rain sinking southwards, which will be locally heavy in the north and west. Jim Dale, meteorologist for British Weather Services, has said that although it'll be a slightly milder weekend, the cold will hit straight back later in the week.

UK woke up to fresh coverings of snow yesterday (March 31) and will do again today, but this week's snow is nothing compared to what's to come next week. Again, it will be another heavy front of snow moving down from the North, first battering Scotland before engulfing the rest of the country. According to advanced weather modelling maps from WX Charts, snow will hit all Scottish cities next Wednesday (April 6) with around five centimetres settling on the ground.

weather is set to revert back to chilly temperatures as the warm spell finally comes to an end, say forecasters.Lucky Brits have been lapping up the sun and 20C highs over the last few days as the arrival of spring gave hope of end to frosty morning and freezing nights.But new data from the UK's leading forecasting agencies suggests that we will have to consider piling on the layers again as soon as tomorrow (29 March) — and may even need to think about getting out our snow boots.Sleet and snow are possible on higher ground by the end of the week, according to Met Office's new blog.Detailing a shift towards "colder and unsettled" weather this week, Met Office Chief Meteorologist Neil Armstrong said: “We’re going to be seeing a marked shift in the weather for the UK in the coming week as the warm weather is displaced south.“Temperatures will drop as cold air sweeps south with single figure maxima for most places from mid-week, and bringing with it the unsettled weather that we’ll see for much of the week.

heatwave by enjoying al fresco sex, according to a poll.There was also apparently an uptick in people misbehaving and looking to cheat on their partners as temperatures hit 21C.According to the Illicit Encounters dating app, nine out of ten people in the UK admit to having romped outdoors, with beaches being the favoured spot.Four in ten enjoyed getting jiggy in their back gardens, with parks and pools also proving popular.Relationship expert Jessica Leoni reckons that the recent blazing heat has been responsible for more people looking to have fun outside of their relationships.She said: “After the last two years, a summer of love is just what we need.”Fortunately for those who enjoy rumpy pumpy in the sun, it looks as if more is to come this year. Jim Dale, a senior meteorologist at British Weather Services, told the Express this month: "I think hot weather could come in fairly early as far as April is concerned perhaps."I know March is the start of Spring but I think we're probably going to get properly into April before we start to see the searing sort of temperatures."I wouldn't be surprised to see 26C, 27C, 28C in the middle of April."Unfortunately however, the UK's al fresco bonkers will have to put things on ice for a while with a massive snow bomb set to land this week.

Temperatures are set to fall off a cliff next week as snow returns to the UK following a brief hot spell.This week saw the hottest day of the year so far as the mercury hit 21C but, as always with our weather, that couldn't last forever. According to advanced weather modelling maps from WX Charts, the white stuff is set to return one day next week as temperatures nosedive.

Manchester will continue to have a nice and warm sun throughout today while temperatures remain at a relatively high level.
