New weather maps show the UK’s recent warm spell will briefly fade before temperatures rebound within days, with charts pinpointing exactly when and where conditions will improve.
Maps published by WXCharts, valid for Wednesday, April 15, show a cooler airmass spreading across the country. Maximum temperatures are expected to fall to around 10C to 13C for many, with the South and South-east slightly warmer at 14C to 17C. Cooler conditions are most noticeable across Scotland and northern England, where highs dip to 7C to 11C.
This marks a sharp contrast to the recent 26C spring highs, but the cooler phase looks short-lived.
By Sunday, April 20, temperatures begin to recover. Forecast maps show southern England, including London and the South East, reaching 17C to 19C, while the Midlands and Wales are forecast to sit around 14C to 17C. Further north, temperatures remain more subdued, ranging from 9C to 12C.
The warming trend continues into Tuesday, April 21, with much of southern England climbing to 18C to 20C. Central areas are expected to reach 16C to 18C, while northern England and Scotland lag slightly behind at 10C to 13C.
The broader pressure chart for mid-April supports this shift, showing cooler air dominating around April 15 before milder conditions push back in from the South.
The Met Office long-range forecast also points to a mixed but improving picture. It states that from April 15 to April 24, conditions will be “changeable” at first, with low pressure bringing showers or longer spells of rain, particularly in the North-west, alongside some strong winds.
However, the South-east is likely to stay drier and brighter, and later in the period, weather may turn more settled, especially in northern areas, though parts of the South could still see rain at times.
Temperatures overall are expected to be near or slightly above average, reinforcing the signal from weather maps that any mid-month cool spell will be temporary, with milder spring conditions quickly returning.
