UK natural gas futures climbed above 88 pence a therm, driven by forecasts of cooler temperatures and ongoing supply disruptions. A significant drop in temperatures is expected across the UK this week, boosting heating demand. A low-pressure system will bring cool, moist air into the region, leading to below-normal temperatures and unsettled weather over the next seven to ten days. Wind speeds are projected to be volatile, impacting wind power generation and potentially raising gas demand from power plants. On the supply side, maintenance work at Norwegian gas facilities continues to restrict flows, adding to market tightness.
