Met Office warns of north-south split as Glasgow sees 22.2mm rain and London bakes at 31°C this week

The Met office warns of a dramatic north-south split this week. Glasgow will see 22.2mm of rain while London bakes at 31°C. The cold front will arrive on Sunday, but high pressure will quickly rebuild by Tuesday. How far will the heat reach, and how long will it last?

As mentioned in previous reports, today marks the triumphant arrival of rain across the UK. Distribution is slanted toward the north, with the Midlands catching its fair share—highlighting Manchester and Newcastle—while the south remains under stable conditions that continue to drive up temperatures.

The north is getting drenched, the south is getting baked, and the Midlands? They’re just confused.

The video shows how the cold front swept into the UK from the west on Saturday, pushing cold air across France and Germany. But heat is waiting in the Atlantic. By Monday afternoon, the hot air mass will move eastward, covering the UK—except northern Scotland—by midnight.

If you wonder why there is such a contrast between English and Scots, the map shows the two responsible for this.

Scotland’s flag will turn blue with rain, while England’s cross will glow red with heat – courtesy of low and high.

Atlantic lows are bringing clouds, cooler air, and heavy rain to Scotland and Northern Ireland, while high pressure in the south is causing intense solar warming and persistent heat there. This creates a classic tale of two kingdoms:

The South is rebuilding rapidly with heat reaching 31°C on Wednesday
