\n Forecasters have warned of a “big change” in conditions in the coming week, with colder, wetter weather expected across the country after a warm spell.\n<\/p>\n
\n The UK saw its hottest day of the year so far, but this is expected to change, with the latest forecast from the Met Office revealed.\n<\/p>\n
Met Office forecasts ‘big change’ in weather this week<\/p>\n
\n The Met Office has revealed that the weather will get colder, with thundery spells expected.\n<\/p>\n
\n Honor Criswick, a meteorologist at the Met Office, told the Press Association: “The weather is turning colder from Wednesday, but there will be both sunshine and showers.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Some showers will be heavy with some hail and thunder, and may bring some snow to modest hills, with small accumulations likely.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Ice could also develop in places on both Tuesday and Wednesday night.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The downturn in weather comes after the UK enjoyed its warmest day of the year so far last week, reaching nearly 23C in Gogerddan, Wales.\n<\/p>\n
\n There was also plenty of blue skies and sun for much of the week.\n<\/p>\n
\n Ms Criswick said: “Brisk northerly winds will make things feel colder on Wednesday.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Temperatures range from six to 10C but it will feel closer to low single figures for many areas in the wind.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Temperatures will be widely below average for the time of year, which is around 11C for the UK.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It will be a big change from last week when we had our warmest day of the year so far with 22.9C recorded last Wednesday in Gogerddan.”\n<\/p>\n

\n Greg Dewhurst, another Met Office meteorologist, said the downturn is due to a “cold front” moving south.\n<\/p>\n
\n Winds are also expected, with gusts of up to 40mph possible in north-west Scotland on Monday.\n<\/p>\n
