'Dramatic shift' in UK weather to come as Indian blast to hit within days
forecaster for Exacta Weather, said: “Low pressure will take charge through the end of September and for many this will bring a bout of autumnal wind and rain.READ MORE: UK braced for arctic storm this weekend with five days freezing temperatures expected“However, there are strong signals for a change in the weather during the start of October, and this will be to something much warmer.“Temperatures are looking like rising, and there are strong signals for a decent spell of Indian summer weather.”Mr Madden was adamant that Britons should take advantage of the brief warm weather before the country re-enters a period of turbulent weather.He said: “As the month progresses, we are likely to see a significant rise in the risk of stormy weather during the second half of October and into November, and this could be widespread.“In addition, evenings and mornings will start turning notably cooler in October despite the mid-autumn warmth and settled weather.“The risk for widespread ground frosts will increase again as we go through the month.”Jim Dale, meteorologist at British Weather Services said: “The middle of the week is likely to be the coldest, [while] next week, however, there are now signs of a change to much warmer conditions, with temperatures back up to 20C.”To stay up to date with all the latest news, make sure you sign up to one of our newsletters here.Mr Dale said the warm weather will be reminiscent of spring-time: “We could see four or five days of high pressure and it will feel quite warm again, even a bit spring-like.“As we are now in October and have had a spell of colder weather, it would be appropriate to describe this as an Indian Summer.“Next Monday is looking like being the warmest day, but temperatures

UK braced for arctic storm this weekend with five days freezing temperatures expected
Met Office has warned that an Atlantic cyclone is on course to whip up a bout of rain and high winds from Friday (September 30).Friday is also expected to be the wettest and windiest day we've seen so far this autumn, primarily due to a deeper area of low pressure that is due to to move into the northwest of the country.READ MORE: Britain facing extremely cold temperatures as 'deep freeze' set to bring snow Daniel Rudman, the Met Office’s deputy chief meteorologist, said: “A deeper area of low pressure will move into the northwest of the UK.“This means that many can expect a more notably wet and windy spell, for a time on Friday, than we’ve seen so far this autumn.“Knock-on effects from the Atlantic tropical cycle season can lower confidence when forecasting more than a few days ahead, and so the exact timings for rainfall and wind strengths for Friday may vary throughout the week.”He urged Brits to keep up to date with forecasts, especially if they have any outdoor plans.The meteorologist said: “The best thing you can do if you’ve got outdoor plans is make sure you’re always using the most up to date forecast.”To stay up to date with all the latest news, make sure you sign up to one of our newsletters here.Cold weather will hold out through the rest of the week before the unsettled spell ushers a period of milder weather.A separate low-pressure system hanging around through the next few days will drive the cold weather before Friday’s storm hits.Jim Dale, meteorologist for British Weather Services, said: “Hurricane Fiona is now gone, but the remnants will amplify high pressure in the Atlantic, and this will help the cold flow of air into the UK.“Low pressure will hang around for a few days through the week to the east

US hurricanes to wreak weather havoc in Britain as storms set to batter country
forecast to hit theUK in October as a consequence of the hurricane season blowing across the Atlantic and making its presence felt on these shores.High pressure is expected to ensure that most of the country enjoys a pleasant end to September but, after that, the Met Office is predicting that energy-charged storms will be heading Britain's way due to an abnormally active US hurricane season, the Daily Express reports.Earlier this month, the US National Hurricane Centre announced the formation in the Atlantic basin of Hurricanes Danielle and Earl.READ MORE:Huge support for annual bank holiday in honour of Queen called Elizabeth DayBoth threatened to hit Britain as ex-tropical storms, but eventually withered in the Atlantic.But Hurricane Fiona has in the past day wrought havoc across the Caribbean Island of Puerto Rico and appears to be heading on a similar eastward track.Jim Dale, meteorologist for British Weather Services, said: "The storm season is one to watch, and I expect this to start picking up as we get into autumn, so we will be keeping an eye on the Atlantic and hurricane activity. "After the very calm and dry weather we had during the summer, high pressure is bringing more settled weather through the second half of September in a blocking pattern."I am a believer of the balancing effect of the weather and would not be surprised if the storm season became more active after this period of calm."Exacta Weather’s James Madden added: "Most forecast models are opting for an above-average hurricane season, and we think that this will start to impact the UK throughout October and into November.

UK to be hit with freezing temperatures as low as -3C this weekend due to Arctic blast
READ MORE: Temperatures set to soar next week with Britain getting one last summer spikeHigh pressure will build across Britain, keeping mild breezes from the Atlantic at bay and blasting the nation with northerly winds.Jim Dale, meteorologist for British Weather Services, said: “The remains of will Hurricane Danielle move away and allow high pressure to build to the west of the UK.“This will encourage northerly winds to come in, and this is going to affect temperatures by the end of the week.“Temperatures are going to drop quite rapidly and most places will lose a few degrees in the daytime while dropping to single figures overnight.“It will start to feel colder towards the end of the week before this dome of high-pressure stalls across the UK allowing cold air to move across the UK.”The high pressure dome will stretch between Iceland and Spain, and bring the first chilly autumnal plumes to the nation.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletter by clicking here.Met Office meteorologist Alex Burkill said: “High pressure will build from the west turning things a little bit more unsettled and dragging in cooler air from the north, so we will see temperatures dropping.“It will be cooler than recent nights, but milder in the south under the cloud, and there will be some heavy bursts of rain on Wednesday morning.“There is a lot of dry and at times sunny weather to be had, with the risk of a few showers towards northern parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland.”READ NEXT: Meghan 'snubbed' by royal fan in awkward moment at Windsor walkabout Full route of Queen's Lying-in-State procession as fans face 30-hour wait to see coffin Queen was 'absolutely on it'

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.

African plume to bring 34C scorcher to UK shores next week as hosepipe ban kicks in
heatwave will hit the UK next week due to an African plume bringing temperatures of 34C.The mid-30Cs weather will unfortunately coincide with a hose ban that will first hit the South East regions of Kent and Sussex in order to restrict water use in August.South East Water said the high temperatures recorded in July, resulted in them being forced to produce additional 120 litres of extra water.READ MORE:When is the next heatwave? Forecasters warn of England's driest weather for decadesThe water supply company said the extra water they were forced to produce was the equivalent of producing water for four towns the size of Maidstone or Eastbourne.Kent and Sussex are among the first regions in the country forced to abide by the new rule due to the areas being the driest they've ever been since 1836 and 1911, respectively.Interactive weather model WX Charts showed that the South East will reach highs of 34C by midday, on the same day the hose ban comes into play on August 12.British Weather Services’ senior meteorologist Jim Dale said: "A spike from the south out of Africa and up from Spain and France again makes 34C entirely possible.”David Hinton, CEO of South East Water, urged the public to resist the temptation of using water to filling up pools and abide by the new rules as rainfall has been scarce in the region and will continue to be for August.To stay up to date with all the latest news, make sure you sign up to one of our newsletters here.“During July in the South East, we have only seen 8% of average rainfall for the month.“As the long-term forecast for August and September is for similar weather we are taking this step to introduce temporary restrictions on the use of hosepipes and sprinklers to make sure we have

UK just days away from another 40C 'super heatwave' set to hit next week
heatwave' next week with 40C degree weather set to return.During the July heatwave, a record temperature of 40.3C was reached amid continuous warnings of threat to life due to the intense heat.While some may thought we'd experienced the worst of it this summer, a 'super heatwave' is now on its way with rain said to be in short supply amid the drought crisis.READ MORE:Met Office predicts balmy 29C weather as glorious high temperatures ramp upThe high pressure system of the Azores High has been stretching across the Atlantic towards Britain while being observed by meteorologists.James Madden, forecaster for Exacta Weather, said: "I expect the return of very high temperatures in the run up to and during the second week of August.“It will follow a more mixed and slightly cooler period during early August which could bring the chance of rain.“However, another major heatwave of a similar or longer duration to that seen in July is possible this month, and there could be potential super-heatwave to end the meteorological summer with a bang.”According to forecasting systems, group temperatures for the middle of August are consistently hitting 40C plus, a mark the UK hit just a few weeks ago.To stay up to date with all the latest news, make sure you sign up to one of our newsletters here.According to Jim Dale, a meteorologist for British Weather Services, the influence of the Azores High will decide whether the UK is at the heart of another summer heatwave.“We are not going to get another big blast of heat until the Azores High returns to influence our weather," he said.“This will drag hot air into the UK and when this happens, there is the risk of seeing the very high temperatures we did in July.“Temperatures are going to rise
