Temperatures to hit 26C in burst of late September warmth
Parts of the UK are expected to experience a burst of late September warmth, with temperatures reaching up to 25C in the south-east of England. This unseasonable heat is driven by strong southerly winds bringing warm air from France and Spain, making it 3 to 6 degrees above the seasonal average. The warm conditions will persist into the night, with some areas potentially failing to drop below 20C, while September continues to track as a significantly warmer-than-average month.
- ▪Temperatures in south-east England are forecast to reach the mid-20s Celsius, which is 3 to 6 degrees above the late September average.
- ▪The warmth is caused by a strong southerly airflow transporting hot air from France and Spain, where temperatures have exceeded 30C.
- ▪Nighttime temperatures in parts of the south-east may remain above 20C, which is unusually high for early autumn.
- ▪The Central England Temperature record shows that September is currently 2.6 degrees Celsius above normal, with every month of 2026 having been warmer than average.
- ▪Strong southerly winds will bring gusts of up to 50mph to Northern Ireland and western Scotland due to a low-pressure system moving toward Iceland.
