Hide AdMatt Hugo, a meteorologist with MetraWeather, said: “Summer’s last hurrah is likely on the way into early next week with residual warmth for many – but then there’s a clear trend for a far more autumnal outlook as September progresses as we see the jet stream kick into gear with a more westerly weather-type likely.”
In its long-range forecast covering the period September 7 to 16, the Met Office says: “Conditions are expected to become less settled through this period, though confidence is low at this time.
“Showers or longer spells of rain are likely, the focus of these perhaps across western areas, while some parts of the east may well hang on to largely dry conditions for much of this period.

“There is the potential for some of the rain to be heavy at times, with the risk of some thunderstorms mixed in.
“Temperatures are likely to trend warmer than average across all parts, perhaps becoming very warm at times across sunnier parts of the east.”
