A late summer blast could be on the way
Britain is bracing for a rollercoaster weather ride, with an imminent taste of autumn arriving as a low-pressure system sweeps in this week. This will bring rain and gale-force winds, with cooler conditions leading to many reaching for additional layers.
The Met Office said: "Looking further ahead, milder air from the Atlantic is expected to push back across the country later on Friday and more especially into the weekend, cutting off the cold air from the north and seeing a return to temperatures nearer average for the time of year."Adding to the prospect of rising mercury levels, Jim Dale, senior meteorologist at British Weather Services and climate spokesman, predicted a possible warm resurgence towards month-end.
Their forecast stretching from September 3 to October 7 suggests: "The focus for wetter weather overall is more likely to return to north and especially northwestern areas, whilst southern and eastern areas have a greater chance of being drier relative to earlier in the month." By September 17, the maps hint at a transition to red and yellow hues, symbolising a return to warmer climes. Although this warmth may be sporadic, it is anticipated to persist across vast regions until early October. James Madden of Exacta Weather also supports the notion, indicating September 18 as the potential onset of a heat influx for Britain.
