UK, Ireland Record Warmest Days Before Cold Snap

This weekend, the UK experienced its warmest days of the year so far, with temperatures soaring to nearly 20C, surpassing popular holiday destinations such as the Balearic Islands and Costa del Sol. The highest temperature recorded was 19.7C in Crosby, Merseyside on Sunday, while Saturday peaked at 19.1C in Cumbria. However, forecasters warn that this unseasonably warm weather will soon give way to colder conditions, with temperatures expected to drop significantly throughout the week, accompanied by rain and potential overnight frosts. Craig Snell from the Met Office indicated that while the south may see milder conditions on Monday, the north will experience much cooler temperatures and rain. Meanwhile, Ireland also enjoyed warm March weather, with temperatures reaching 17C, but is set to face a similar drop in temperatures, predicted to fall to as low as -1C by Friday. All regions are advised to prepare for a return to more typical chilly March conditions after the brief warm spell.
