Warmup in UK Follows Cool Week

July 31,2015; 11:02PM,EDT

 

 

Warming will spread over much of the United Kingdom Sunday and Monday, following a string of rather cool days.
England, especially, will be feeling warm with many highs of 23-25 C on Sunday, then 25-27 C on Monday. The warmest areas will include the Midlands as well as the East and South of England.

In the meantime, the high temperature in the United Kingdom will be no higher than normal on Saturday. London, for instance, will reach a high of 21 C on Saturday, just shy of the normal 22 C for this time of the year.
While London will experience near-normal temperatures, a trough moving through Scotland will supply showers and chilly air to much of the rest of the United Kingdom.
This trough will depart to the northeast by Sunday setting the stage for warmer air to return.

The primary trigger for the warming trend will be an unusually strong storm system that will spin at sea west of Ireland on Sunday and Monday. Southerly winds ahead this storm and its cold front will draw warmth into England. However, truly hot air will stay on the continent, flowing across Spain and France into Germany by Monday afternoon.
The Atlantic storm will usher cooler, showery weather eastward in the United Kingdom later Monday and Tuesday.
