UK's weather forecast

According to Express, the UK will be hit by low pressure until the end of the week, bringing even more rain and strong winds. But an area of high pressure from the Atlantic is set to build up across the UK bringing some pleasant weather into the weekend.

Frank Saunders, Chief Meteorologist at the Met Office, said: “We’ve seen a real mix of weather this August."

“With a heatwave earlier this month and in the last week we’ve had two named storms bringing very wet and windy weather across the country."

“With high pressure on the way this weekend we’re going to end the month with much more settled weather, with plenty of late summer sunshine for many."

“It’ll be a dry weekend for most areas too, though eastern areas can expect a few heavy showers on Saturday.”

Saturday will see some sunny spells, especially across Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and in the West of England.

In these areas the weather will be mostly dry at the start of the weekend. But it will feel chilly as a North West and northerly breeze swoops across many areas.

The top temperatures will only reach 12 to 15C in the North and 16 to 18C in the South of the UK. Eastern areas will be blasted with heavy rain and hail in certain spots.

Temperatures across the North Sea coasts will struggle to reach 13 or 14C on Saturday bringing a very miserable bank holiday weekend.

Parts of the East will have rainy weather well into the evening before they move onto the coasts of Norfolk and the South East. Temperatures in these areas will drop to 7 or 8C.

Mr Saunders said: “It’ll feel quite cool despite the sunshine, as northerly winds bring below average temperatures for the time of year with highs of around 16 to 18 Celsius."

“At night it’ll feel really quite chilly, with temperatures dropping to single figures for most, and a chance of air frost in Scottish glens.”

Many parts of the UK will experience a particularly cold night for late August. In some rural Highland glens and sheltered vulnerable “hollows” in the North West, could have temperatures fall close to freezing overnight.

These areas may also experience a ground frost on Sunday morning as temperatures will mainly be around 3 to 8C.

As the weekend ends, the weather will not improve any time soon. Forecasters predict more rain and cold winds into the start of next week.

Deputy Chief Meteorologist at the Met Office, Chris Tubbs, said: “Later on Monday low-pressure will once again start to edge its way in from the Atlantic. It’ll turn cloudier with outbreaks of rain for Northern Ireland, with cloud and rain spreading to the rest of the UK by Tuesday."

“It’s likely to stay unsettled into the remainder of next week as we begin meteorological Autumn, with spells of wind and strong winds at times.”

Europe's weather forecast

According to BBC weather forecast, meteorologist Tomasz Schafernaker noted there was quite a lot of cloud across Ireland and Scotland in his latest weather update. The presenter noted that southern parts of Scandinavia will face the same conditions as well. However, further south in Europe is the area of weather that is being watched.

Mr Schafernaker told viewers: "Broadly speaking from the very far north east of Spain through southern France, the Alpine region and particularly northern Italy."

"There could be some very nasty thunderstorms forming there into the weekend. There is also potential for flash flooding. Elsewhere across Europe and across the Balkans, there'll be hot sunshine."

He continued: "Additionally be some very intense late summer heat. Temperatures here will be up to 37 degrees in Bucharest. Some of that heat is also spreading into Hungary. By the time we get into Poland it will be a little bit cooler at 24 Celsius."

The BBC presenter added: "There'll be some unsettled weather across the Baltics. Certainly a fair bit of rain will come across areas of Sweden."

"That area of nasty weather will again appear across Italy and the Alpine region drifting into Germany and Austria as well."

Mr Schafernaker said: "So that stormy weather across this part of Europe is going to continue all through the course of the weekend. In the UK temperatures will be only around the high teens with a fair bit of cloud in the coming days."

"Madrid will be warming up in the next few days, going from 23 to 31 degrees. Elsewhere in Kyiv there'll be lots of hot sunshine there. The same goes for Athens where it will be particularly hot there on Monday at 36 degrees."
