Fed up with the chill? Warmer weather is on the way. ☀️

Arctic air is sweeping in this week and spring is officially on hold. On Sunday night it dropped to -3.2C in Oxfordshire, and for south-east England and East Anglia it was the most widespread frost this late in the season since 2020. 😬

The jet stream has shifted south, dragging in cold Arctic air, and especially from midweek we'll see showers, and even the chance of heavy, thundery downpours. ⛈️
