We've been hit by thunderstorms this week
The Met Office and BBC are forecasting warmer weather in October - after thunderstorms across the UK this month amid a downturn in weather. Forecasters and meteorologists at the forecasting agencies have spoken out as the second half of September kicks off, Birmingham Live reports.
The Met Office’s long-range forecast states: “Overall, temperatures are more likely to be above average than below, with an increased chance compared with normal of some warm spells, but also some cooler nights.” 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." He added: “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.”
