UK Heat Flips To Rain: Met Office flags 26.6°C April record; cooler, wetter days ahead

Britain experienced an unseasonable heatwave, with temperatures soaring to record highs for early April. However, this warmth is short-lived as Atlantic fronts are set to bring wet skies, strong winds, and colder air by Saturday. Meteorologists attribute these extremes to long-term climate shifts, making weather patterns more pronounced. Expect a return to typical spring conditions with rain and cooler temperatures.
