The UK is moving into a cooler and more unsettled spell after Sunday<\/strong>\u2019s brief rise in temperatures, with rain and strong winds affecting northern areas early in the week. A series of weather fronts will cross the country before conditions become drier for many places on Wednesday <\/strong>and Thursday<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The change follows a mostly dry weekend but a notably wet previous week. According to the Environment Agency<\/strong>, last week was the wettest in England since early February. Temperatures will also fall from Sunday\u2019s levels, when south-east England came close to 29C, although parts of the country will remain relatively mild for the time of year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooler Air Spreads South as Rain and Strong Winds Affect Northern Areas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Falling pressure and a change in wind direction will bring fresher conditions on Monday <\/strong>as a weather front moves south-eastwards across the UK. The front will mainly consist of cloud and scattered showers as it crosses England and Wales, with sunny intervals developing behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temperatures in south-east England are expected to reach 25C, but cooler and less humid air will follow the front. Further north, a separate and heavier area of rain will develop across Northern Ireland during the morning before reaching Scotland and Cumbria later in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strong south-westerly winds will accompany that rain, while temperatures in Scotland <\/strong>and Northern Ireland<\/strong> will be held to about 17C. According to BBC Weather, temperatures <\/a>across many areas on Monday will still be above the seasonal average despite the arrival of fresher air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conditions will become particularly windy across northern Britain on Tuesday as a deep area of low pressure remains north-west of Scotland. Gusts of 50 to 60mph are possible across northern and western Scotland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such wind speeds are not unusual for these areas at this time of year, though disruption could occur if stronger winds are channelled through Scotland\u2019s central lowlands. Frequent showers are also expected across northern parts of the UK. Further south, overnight rain will remain over south-east England during Tuesday morning before clearing. The rainfall <\/strong>is not expected to be particularly heavy, while much of England and all of Wales remain in drought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
