Short-Lived Warmth Lifts UK to 18C as Parts of U.S. Rebound Before an Early-Week Chill

A blocked jet keeps conditions changeable, with rain poised to return to the UK by Thursday.

Overview

  • Met Office guidance points to highs near 17–18C in southeastern England today before temperatures slip back toward late‑February averages.
  • Rain spreads across western and northern UK areas today and is expected to reach more of the country Thursday into Friday, with 42 flood warnings still in force in England.
  • Baltimore–D.C. starts with spotty flurries and slick spots before a milder afternoon near 50–mid‑50s, with forecasts flagging a chance of snow Monday and a wintry mix Tuesday.
  • Across the Great Lakes and Upper Midwest, strong gusts drive rapid swings into the 40s before a late‑day cooldown, a brief Friday warm‑up, and a colder weekend with light snow chances.
  • Central Florida warms sharply from a frosty start to low 70s today, faces a high fire threat Thursday under low humidity and gusty winds, and could see 1–2 inches of rain with a Friday night–Saturday system.
