Quick Summary

Forecasters predict exceptionally warm temperatures this Thursday and Friday, particularly in southern England where it will be dry but cooler by the weekend due to a weakening cold front. The unusually warm weather follows an extremely dry spring and summer that strained water resources; however, wetter conditions are anticipated next week with potential coastal impacts from strong winds and high tides.

Story summary

The Met Office deputy chief forecaster, Dan Holley, predicts that Thursday and Friday, September 2023, will see exceptionally warm temperatures for late September across the UK. Temperatures are expected to reach into the low-20Cs in southern England and Wales but could bring rain by Thursday afternoon to western Scotland and Northern Ireland due to a cold front. Holley notes that these conditions, part of an area of high pressure over Europe, will gradually give way to cooler, more typical autumn temperatures over the weekend. The unusually warm weather comes amid ongoing drought concerns in much of England, including London and the South East, following a very dry spring and summer marked by heatwaves.
