African heat surge will bring mini-Indian summer to UK with temperature hitting 20C
Weather Services, said: “A stubborn low-pressure system forming to the southwest of the UK through the start of the week, while the jet stream pushes to the north, will pull air in from a milder direction.READ MORE: Brits face 'emergency energy blackouts' as temperatures plummet in grim winter forecast“This will come in from the Atlantic with perhaps an element from the Continent in the mix, but it won’t take a lot to bring a change that will draw a plume of warm air in from Africa.“If the warm weather ramps up a bit more through the week, we might be looking at a little bit of an Indian summer.”With some weather models projecting temperatures of 20C, it'll be a welcome sight to the British public who have been inundated with heavy rain as of late.Mr Dale said: “If you are out and about this week, in the sunshine you will need to be thinking about T-shirts.“We could see 18C or 19C in parts of the country, perhaps higher around mid-week, which is very good for this time of year.“Although for a true Indian Summer we need a longer period of warmth after a very cold spell, this could be a little bit of an Indian Summer.”To stay up to date with all the latest news, make sure you sign up to one of our newsletters here.Despite the expected period of sunshine, a "secondary" low-pressure system travelling from the Atlantic could bring heavy rain and 50mph winds.Met Office meteorologist Alex Deakin said: “Out in the Atlantic we have an area of high pressure and a slow-moving area of low pressure to the southwest.“These two look like having a bit of a battle next week as to which one will dominate the weather.He added: “The jet stream is no longer barrelling in from the Atlantic next week, the winds high up in the Atmosphere will

UK braced for bank holiday wildfires nightmare with temperatures set to reach 30C
wildfires as barbecues are expected to return for the three-day weekend.According to Jim Dale, a meteorologist for British Weather Services, he said: "Temperatures in southern and eastern Britain could reach 30C over the bank holiday as it now looks like high pressure will take control of the weather.READ MORE: Bank holiday weekend weather on knife-edge between scorcher or washout“It will follow another dry week across much of southern England with temperatures starting to rise from mid-week."“However, because there won’t be any rain across the south and with temperatures going back up, we are back into a wildfire situation."“People will be out and about, in forests and parklands, lighting barbecues and doing things that we haven’t seen much of over the past few weeks.“So, the wildfire risk is the one that sticks out for me the most over the weekend.”Wildfires were occurring throughout the consecutives heatwaves and according to Mr Dale, the subsequent rise in temperature could cause a return of the wildfires.To stay up to date with all the latest news, make sure you sign up to one of our newsletters here.“It is a combination of the ground still being very dry, despite the limited rain we have had and non-routine activities, such as barbecues in public spaces, that brings the risk.”Met Office meteorologist Alex Deakin said: “Rain will last into Wednesday evening and then we are looking down to the far south for the possibility of some heavy outbreaks drifting up from France and affecting East Anglia and parts of the southeast."“Looking into the weekend, it looks as though the dry weather will return with some sunny spells.”A heatwave is unlikely this weekend despite the high pressure which Weathertrending meteorologist

Bank holiday weekend weather on knife-edge between scorcher or washout
weather forecasts are stumped between an end-of-summer heatwave or a rainy end to August.According to Jim Dale, meteorologist for British Weather Services, a battle between the differing weather conditions is set to take hold ahead of the bank holiday.He said: “There is the potential for high pressure to come in from the Azores and settle over the UK.READ MORE:'Brutal' thunderstorms bringing 'flash flooding risk' to UK this week“This would bring higher temperatures in time for the weekend, particularly for southern Britain, with a more unsettled picture further north.“However, the jet stream looks like it may invigorate and push this high pressure away.“So, we are expecting a battle between these two features to decide on the outcome for the bank holiday."While the Azores High – a high pressure system – was the propeller of July's scorching heatwave, according to forecasts looks like it could play a part in high temperatures as we reach the end of August.Mr Dale added: "At the moment, I favour high pressure winning, but if it does, it is more likely to become established across southern Britain."It is a case of waiting a bit longer to see how far the high pressure can push in, and how much of an influence the jet stream allows low pressure to push it out. We will have to wait and see."To stay up to date with all the latest news, make sure you sign up to one of our newsletters here.According to the Met Office, thermometers on Wednesday could rise into the low-30Cs in some regions of the area as Met Office meteorologist Alex Deakin further preached about the uncertainty of the upcoming weather.He said: "It’s complicated this week and there is more uncertainty than usual.
