UK weather maps show exact date temperatures plunge to 5C - 30 coldest counties

Temperatures are set to drop with UK weather maps showing icy blue where they've recently been glowing red. Temperatures have soared recently with some parts of the country maybe seeing 33C and possibly 34C today. But afterwards, it seems parts of the UK will drop back down to single figure climates. A map from WXCharts suggests that on Thursday May 28, at 6am, there will be lows of 5C in Scotland.

The lowest temperature will be seen in Cairngorms National Park, but across Scotland, climates will be between 5C and 9C, according to the prediction. In England, the lowest temperatures will be seen in the North East, where climates will be between 8C and 10C, the charts suggest. As for Wales, temperatures will range from between 12C to 15C, and, in Northern Ireland, climates will be between 12C and 15C, if the map proves to be correct. The warmest temperatures should be around the south coast with highs of around 16C or 17C, WXcharts adds.

The change comes after Brits have basked in blazing sunshine, with the hottest day in May ever recorded yesterday.

Temperatures reached 34.8C in Kew Gardens which is 2C above the previous highest record.

Hannah Cloke, Regius Professor of Meteorology and Climate at the University of Reading told BBC Radio 4's World At One programme that "this is what climate change feels like".

The Met Office in its own separate five day forecast says that it will be dry for many today with hottest conditions towards the southwest.

For later today, it adds: "Sunny spells for much of the UK, however cloudier in the northeast with bright spells developing here later.

"Dry for most, but a few showers possible across the south. Hot in the southwest, but feeling a little fresher elsewhere."

For tonight, it adds that there will be "scattered showers and thunderstorms possibly moving north across England and Wales overnight".

It says that there will be otherwise dry with clear spells, but low clouds returning in the northeast. Tonight will be cooler night than of late.

For Thursday, it says: "Mostly dry with sunny spells, but also a few showers and thunderstorms possibly breaking out across England & Wales later in the day. Warmer again for many."

For Friday to Sunday, it says: "Largely dry with sunny spells and very warm once again on Friday.

"A band of rain then gradually spreading eastwards over the weekend introducing some fresher and possibly showery conditions."
