The UK can expect “one last summer blast” next week, and temperatures are forecast to rise above 30 ° C (86 ° F).
Mercury could hit 31 ° C in southern England on Tuesday, yet parts of Scotland can expect torrential rains this weekend that could bring nearly a month of rain in just one day.
According to Weather Office forecaster Bonnie Diamond, “tropical continental air pushing upward from a southerly direction in combination with light winds” will lead to temperatures of up to 25 ° C on Sunday and 29 ° C on Monday.
Warm weather could remain on Wednesday, but thunderstorms are possible. “It definitely feels like a last summer blast, even though, meteorologically speaking, it’s the fall,” he said.
Warm September follows an August heat wave, when temperatures topped 34 ° C for six consecutive days.
The UK’s highest recorded September temperature was 35.6 ° C on September 2, 1906, but “it doesn’t look like they’re going to get anywhere near that in this current heat wave,” the forecaster said.
After a sunny Saturday across the country, the night will bring rain to parts of the west and northwest of Scotland for at least 24 hours.
A yellow weather warning was issued for the region on Saturday and Sunday, warning that there could be flooding and that communities could be cut off as 150mm of rain is expected. The average total rainfall for the region in September is 155.9 mm.
South of the border, Diamond described the weekend’s weather as “pretty decent” with high pressure in charge. “This is a mostly dry weekend away from North West Scotland with the promise of sunshine.”
