'Remarkable' temperatures expected in parts of UK as temperatures set to hit 27C
A strong southerly airflow will bring unusually hot air from France and Spain, with 2026 already record-breaking for days above 25C, forecasters said.
- On Tuesday, September 29, the Met Office forecasted temperatures reaching 25°C to 27°C across London and the South East, marking a final spell of unseasonable summer warmth.
- A large area of high pressure building across the UK is dragging warm air from continental Europe and the subtropical Atlantic, creating the temperature spike.
- Forecasters described these "remarkable" temperatures as notably warm for late September, with parts of the UK exceeding typical seasonal averages by several degrees.
- Met Office Deputy Chief Forecaster Tony Wisson warned of uncertainty regarding a cold front arriving Wednesday, which could bring heavy rain and shift conditions toward autumn norms.
- This warmth follows the UK's hottest summer on record, while experts warn the developing "super El Niño" could trigger wetter, stormier conditions throughout autumn.
