'Above average' temperatures should be on their way to the UK next month
Forecasters have predicted "above average" temperatures in October with many predicting a heatwave, although temperatures won't be as high as earlier this month.
Jonathan Vautrey, meteorologist with Met Office, said: "With southerly winds coming up from Europe, that'll generally bring a slightly warmer direction of air for us and would then allow those temperatures to climb a touch more. Obviously, it will be dependent on exactly what weather is currently across Europe at that stage as well because that's what we'll be tapping into.
"We may not see necessarily the same extreme heat building as this month but it will allow the temperatures to rise above average from the time of year. At this stage, already the real indication is that they'll be slightly increased and above average for certain during that warm spell, so that might allow us to push 20C, or 20C plus in some locations."
"Because of the cloud and the rain, after a chilly start to the night, temperatures will rise through Tuesday and it'll be mild by dawn - a little bit chilly in Scotland - but some heavy rain spreading west to east and in the west of Wales it'll build up. Some bright spells in northern Scotland but even here there'll be gales possible in coastal areas.
