Why are temperatures changing?
The story explains that a shift from high to low pressure is bringing cooler temperatures and rain. High pressure systems often trap warm air, leading to heatwaves. When low pressure moves in, it brings unsettled conditions, clouds, and rain, which naturally cools things down after a long period of heat.
