Cool change ahead as cold front hits

Respite from intense summer heat will continue across the UK this week as a cold front is expected to bring cooler temperatures by Friday.

A warm and humid start to the week will descend into fresher conditions as the front advances slowly across Northern Ireland and Scotland in the early hours of tomorrow.

By Thursday and Friday, temperatures will plunge to 16C in Glasgow, 15C in Belfast and around 18C in Bristol and London. Such conditions are forecast to continue until the end of August.
