Temperatures are set to plummet as low as -1C in various regions following a recent heatwave over the weekend. The Met Office has forecast highs of 31C on Saturday, 32C on Sunday, and a potential record-breaking 33C on Monday, with another warm day of 32C expected on Tuesday.

Certain areas in the country are likely to experience an official heatwave, with the south-east anticipated to be the hottest region. The Midlands and parts of Wales could also see heatwave conditions during the Bank Holiday weekend, according to the Met Office.

As Britons anticipate the duration of the hot weather, the GFS weather model suggests a significant drop in temperatures by the following Sunday. Temperature anomaly maps indicate regions where temperatures are expected to fall well below the seasonal average, notably in Northern Ireland, Scotland, the Midlands, and eastern England.

Minimum temperature projections show a possible drop to -1C in Scotland, 1C in Northern Ireland, and 3C in eastern England around 6am. Only five counties in the southwest of England are projected to reach double-digit temperatures.

Met Office Deputy Chief Forecaster Steve Kocher mentioned that the May and Spring UK temperature records are likely to be broken over the Bank Holiday weekend, surpassing the current record of 32.8C.

The Met Office suggests that heatwave conditions may be reached in parts of the south-east on the upcoming Sunday and could extend to central and western England as well as parts of Wales.

As the heatwave approaches, the British Red Cross has provided guidance to ensure people stay safe. Dafydd Beech, National Community Education Manager at the British Red Cross, emphasizes the importance of taking precautions during warmer weather to prevent dehydration, sunburn, or heatstroke. Simple measures like wearing sunscreen, staying hydrated, and taking breaks from the sun can significantly help individuals cope with the heat.
