London Temperatures Set to Leap Stunning Met Office Forecast Suggests
Forecasters said the brief warm spell could peak at 26C and may add pressure to already low reservoirs and drought-hit water supplies.
- On Monday, the UK enters a brief warm spell as high pressure builds across the country, with Met Office forecasts predicting temperatures will climb to 26C in the south-east by Tuesday, September 22.
- A deep area of low pressure forming west of the UK is dragging warmer air from the continent; while the system will not move directly over Britain, it will funnel subtropical air across the country.
- Environment Agency chief executive Philip Duffy warned that drought status remains serious, with reservoir storage in England standing at 56%, nearly 20 percentage points below average for this time of year.
- The Government warns a 'supersized' El Niño is developing in the Pacific, which meteorologists predict could bring stormier, wetter conditions in late autumn and threaten global food supplies.
- Forecasters expect conditions to become 'changeable' later in the week, as the Met Office cautioned that a colder front from the west could arrive unexpectedly, cutting the warm spell short.
