Changeable weather across UK forecast after unusually warm, dry spell

The UK is set to experience changeable weather this week, with rain expected to persist despite a dry start, offering a much-needed reprieve from heatwaves and making gardening conditions more favorable. Meanwhile, widespread wildfires across Wales and Northern Ireland, fueled by decades-dry Marches and warmer April temperatures, have caused significant ecological disruption, with examples like Abergwesyn Common in Powys igniting vast areas of land vital to wildlife habitats.
