Residents in Buckinghamshire can expect strong wind and thunderstorms this week.

Over the past couple of weeks, conditions have felt autumnal with lots of rain, alongside below average temperatures across the UK.

In contrast, southern Europe has been experiencing a significant heatwave, with temperatures consistently reaching  40 Celsius across parts of Spain and Greece.

But what is causing such a difference in conditions?

Aspects, such as latitude, continentality, and altitude, also have their role to play in what type of weather is experienced in different areas.

The UK has been situated to the north of the jet stream which allowed low pressure system to pass over us from west to east, bringing showers and outbreaks of rain.

The UK will continue to see autumnal conditions as a deep area of low pressure moves in from the west on Tuesday night.

On Wednesday, we expected to see heavy showers, and thunderstorms throughout the day. Conditions will then settle a little through Thursday.

Heading into the weekend, another low is on its way, and temperatures are expected to plummet considerably below average for the time of year.
