Late September warmth before wind and rain returns this week
Temperatures remain above the average at the start of the week but wetter conditions are on the way for some
A warm spell is expected to begin in late September across the UK, with temperatures rising above the September average, particularly on Tuesday. However, this warmth will be followed by wetter and windier weather, particularly in the north and west of the country. Scotland, Northern Ireland, and western parts of England and Wales are likely to experience the most unsettled conditions, while central, southern, and eastern areas of England may see less rain due to recent drought conditions.
The contrast between the north and south of the UK highlights the varied rainfall totals, with some areas receiving significantly more rain than others. As the week progresses, high pressure is expected to build, bringing calmer and drier conditions, especially in the north-west of the country.
