Parts of Britain experienced their coldest night in five months today as temperatures dropped to -3.2C (26.2F) just over 48 hours after the week-long heatwave ended. This marked the UK’s first frost in 97 days since June 8. The sub-zero conditions were in stark contrast to the weather in the Highlands on Saturday – the UK’s hottest day of the year so far – when it was 18C (64F) overnight. This signals the end of the seven-day heatwave that saw temperatures reach at least 30C (86F) every day last week. Despite a cold night for most, temperatures will stay warm and sunny in the South for the next several days.

However, heavy rain is expected in the West during the evening. Sunday will bring dry, bright, and cool conditions in the North, while southern and central regions will be more humid with outbreaks of showers.
