Temperatures around the UK are set to plummet next week as the first significant strong winds of the season sweep across the nation.

The Met Office says a cold front moving southwards is expected to bring some showers and winds, while cold air coming from the North is going to lead to a drop in temperatures.

Scotland could see temperatures as low as 9C (48.2F) from Monday – while England, Wales and Northern Ireland are expected to be a slightly warmer 12C (53.6F).

What will temperatures be where you are?

Alex Burkill, a meteorologist at the Met Office, said: “Temperatures are going to take a bit of a drop.

“I think Sunday night into Monday is going to be a bit chilly for some but because of the cloud, the rain, the strong winds, temperatures won’t drop too much. I think it’s going to be from Monday onwards when we’re going to see the real cooler feel.”

On Sunday, central and southern parts are expected to be dry with sunny spells.

Northern parts will see cloudy skies with a few showers, then things will turn wet and windy across northern Scotland with gales in the far north.

As we move into the first few days of the week, the band of rain will clear quickly with cooler, showery weather following.

It doesn’t look like the UK will be any dryer on Tuesday and Wednesday however, with showers or some longer spells of rain on the cards.
