Britons can expect warmer weather in the upcoming weeks as an Indian summer brings temperatures back to the mid-20s after recent heavy rainfall. September has seen a mix of weather, with much-needed rain following a dry spring and summer. Low-pressure systems from the Atlantic have caused showers, expected to continue with strong winds reaching up to 50mph by midweek.
Forecast maps indicate a more settled outlook for the following week, with the Midlands potentially reaching the mid-20s on September 15, while temperatures around 20°C are expected across England. Cooler conditions are forecasted for Scotland’s western coast, with temperatures dropping to high single digits. Southern and central England are likely to experience warmer weather in the mid to high 20s.
According to the Met Office’s weather forecast for September 12 to 21, the period is expected to start wet with the possibility of drier spells later on. The forecast mentions the dominance of low pressure, leading to showers or longer rainy periods across the UK. Thunderstorms, hail, and strong winds may occur, especially if deep low-pressure systems affect the region.
Looking ahead to late September, the weather is forecasted to be more variable, with periods of low pressure bringing rain and showers, especially in the north. Some drier spells are anticipated, mainly in the south, with higher pressure leading to sunnier conditions. Overall temperatures are predicted to be average or slightly below, with occasional rises during drier, sunnier intervals.
As September comes to a close, the weather is expected to remain changeable, with the potential for low-pressure systems bringing rain and showers, along with windy conditions, particularly in the north. Drier and settled periods may occur, especially at the beginning of the period, with temperatures likely to be around or slightly above average, though chilly nights and fog patches could form under clear skies and light winds.
