The Mirror reports that even by midday, some Scottish regions may remain at 4C, as much of England was forecast to be stuck at 7C.
WXCharts' data shows London was set to be the warmest spot, but even there temperatures will barely scrape 12C.
Heading into the evening, highs of 16C were expected across England and Wales, with the cool conditions set to linger for several days.
The Met Office forecast for the end of August into the beginning of September stated: "Overall, unsettled conditions with showers or longer spells of rain are expected to be most prevalent.
"Some heavy and thundery rain is possible at times with a risk of strong winds. Interspersed with this are likely to be some transient periods of drier and more settled weather."
This weekend, the Met Office has predicted cloudy conditions for many.
Saturday's forecast read: "Low cloud across central and eastern areas gradually breaking to sunny spells for the afternoon.
"More prolonged sunshine elsewhere but with gusty winds developing across southwest England. Very warm in the sun, less so where cloud persists."
Sunday was expected to be brighter with "plenty of sunshine for most".
However due to "strong winds continuing in the southwest" it would be "very warm for many but fresher along eastern coasts".

Kansas City Current delay matchup vs. Orlando Pride minutes before kickoff due to excessive heat
A high-level matchup between the Kansas City Current and Orlando Pride has been delayed due to excessive heat — just minutes before the game was supposed to take place. Both teams had warmed up on the field in front of a full crowd, before the game went into an unusual heat-based weather delay. The game was set to kick off at 3:12 p.m. local time. The Current announced the weather delay one minute before that kickoff, at 3:11. At the time that kickoff was supposed to take place, it was 95 degrees in Kansas City, with 46% humidity and a heat index of 103 degrees, per the National Weather Service. Kansas City is under a heat advisory throughout the weekend. The outside temperature is not set to cool down until 6 p.m. CT — three hours after kickoff was supposed to take place. Per the CBS broadcast, the temperature on the field has to be 92 degrees in order for the game to be played. As of 3:30 p.m. CT, the thermometer was stuck just above 96 degrees, indicating that it might be a while until the teams can get back onto the field. This story will be updated.

'Severe and frequent' wildfires threat sparked by multiple UK heatwaves
As Wales heats up during the fourth heatwave of this year so far, the Met Office have warned that it may not be blue skies for some as fire services deal with scorching wildfires. Wales is set to reach temperatures of up to 29C this weekend - August, 16 - in areas such as Cardiff and Monmouth, Cardigan, Chepstow, and Newport just behind. Wildfires grappling Spain and Portugal due to the rising temperature may be the reason for the lack of blue skies in your area as the smoke, plus Saharan dust, drifts across the UK, according to the Met Office. Wales has had an increase in temperature this week once again with Cardiff being the hottest city across the UK.

See our Privacy Notice Elsewhere, the South Wales Fire Service have helped tackle the major wildfire at Holt Heath, Dorset that is believed to have been deliberately started on August, 9 lasting six days. South Wales firefighters joined crews from across the UK to aid fire crews in Dorset due to "a critical lack of resources", according to Fire Brigades Union. Ben Selby, Fire Brigades Union assistant general secretary said: "Fourteen years of austerity have led to incidents such as the wildfire at Holt Health becoming national emergencies. The loss of 1 in 5 firefighter posts to cuts, with fire engines taken off the run and fire stations closed up and down the country, means that there is no resilience left. "Wildfires are intensive incidents, requiring a large number of firefighters and specialist resources. They are becoming increasingly severe and frequent as a result of the climate emergency. "The government must face this reality and ensure that the UK is equipped to face these increasing threats by providing the investment the fire and rescue service needs." As well as south Wales crews travelled from Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Leicestershire, Surrey, Lincolnshire, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, Avon, Essex and Kent among others, to assist local emergency services.
