The UK is poised to endure seven-days of blistering heat this week in unlucky timing – just as Britain’s schools reopen for the autumn term.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Met Office has today confirmed the mercury could soar to 30C highs – with northern parts of England following closely behind with highs of 27-28C.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The start of this hot period, which could materialise into a heatwave for many UK regions, is from today with a scorching week ahead.<\/p>\n
Jonathan Vautrey, a Met Office meteorologist said: “It’s all thanks to an area of high pressure that has established itself across great swathes of the UK keeping things relatively fine and settled.<\/p>\n
“Those temperatures will be responding to that sunshine climbing into the mid-20s for a good chunk of England and Wales, with 26C likely to be the top temperature today.”<\/p>\n

He predicts scorching 29C heat will hit central London by 4pm.<\/p>\n Jim Dale, a senior meteorologist for British Weather Services, told the Express that Britain is seeing such highs as a result of Hurricane Franklin which swooped across the Atlantic from close to Bermuda last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n He said: “We will bathe in very pleasant weather from this Saturday, with a high risk 32.2C coming in on Wednesday and Thursday. The ex tropical storms are helping to make it happen.”<\/p>\n Mr Dale, an author and meteorologist, said he now views September as a summer month – thanks to its last minute heat spikes which are not entirely uncommon.\u00a0<\/p>\n Mr Dale has predicted the UK will bask in scorching heat for at least the next seven days. Meanwhile, the Met Office long-range forecast, updated daily, focuses on the period September 7 to 16.\u00a0<\/p>\n It says: “As the period progresses, conditions are likely to become more changeable, with an increased chance of rain or showers for all areas, some heavy or thundery.<\/p>\n “Northwestern areas will probably see the most frequent rain, while southeastern areas retain more prolonged drier weather.<\/p>\n “Temperatures are likely to return closer to normal during mid September, although they will probably still be above average.”<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

Confidence in the forecast decreases later in this period; however, a mix of mostly dry weather with occasional wet spells is possible, with a higher incidence of high pressure forecast.<\/p>\n “There is a greater chance than normal of temperatures being above average.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
