As autumn now begins in the United Kingdom, some regions are still expected to experience favourable temperatures in the mid 20s according to the latest weather maps.
This future surge of nice weather follows a summer where the country experienced four heatwaves which led to hosepipe bans and drought warnings in certain regions. Heading into September, some Brits can look forward to warm weather, especially those living in coastal locations.
Areas such as Suffolk and Norfolk are expected to see temperatures soar as high as 25C on Wednesday, September 3. The temperatures are expected to then be high again on Friday and there is a possibility for them to increase further into the weekend.
Surrounding counties will also enjoy a brief resurgence of summer with temperatures exceeding 20C before the typical autumn chill sets in, causing some areas to drop as low as 3C, reported the Daily Express. This past summer is thought to be the hottest on record with the Met Office reporting that it will "almost certainly" be the case.
The mean average temperature for the season stood at 16.13C, based on data up to August 28. If this season is confirmed as setting a new high record for average temperature, it will mean all of the UK's top five warmest summers will have occurred since the year 2000.
The top five are currently 2018 (15.76C), 2006 (15.75C), 2003 (15.74C), 2022 (15.71C) and 1976 (15.70C). According to the latest WXCharts weather maps, the English counties set to experience temperatures between 23C and 25C include:
Meanwhile, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland are expected to face much cooler temperatures this month. The Met Office has predicted changeable weather throughout the beginning and middle of September, with the possibility of sunny spells as well as heavy rains across various parts of the country.
As the month progresses, low pressure is expected to take over, bringing with it the prospect of some rather grim weather heading into October. "Some heavy rain or showers are expected in places, most often in the west," warned the forecast.
"Thunderstorms and hail are also possible, as are some spells of strong winds if any deep areas of low pressure form in the vicinity of the UK. Some short-lived spells of drier and more settled weather are also possible at times, especially early and again late in the period, when they may last a little longer."
Looking ahead toward the middle to end of September, the Met Office warned that things will be "changeable". In their long-range prediction, the forecaster said: "Low pressure is likely to dominate much of this period, bringing changeable weather conditions with showers or some longer spells or rain at times.
"There will likely be some drier, more settled interludes, particularly at the start of the period. Temperatures are likely to be close to average, perhaps turning warmer than average later in the period."
