UK climate consultants share how lengthy last heatwave will final as Arctic blast melts
The UK’s final bout of summer heat is set to last around 10 days, weather experts have claimed.
Despite the current Arctic blast, leaving parts of the UK with a thing snowy blanket this week, a promises of warmer weather has been made by all those in the weather industry. But going one stage further is the team at UK Weather Forecast, as their latest predictions give an exact length of time we’re going to get one final baking.
Posting on Facebook, they claim that it will last around seven to 10 days, starting in just a few days time.

A spokesman said: “High pressure builds across the UK over the next few days and the signal becomes stronger throughout next week. This will lead to dry, bright and warmer weather for many of us! Sourcing warmer upper air into the high.
“A slow process throughout the weekend period however, with further wet weather expected in the north and north west as Atlantic fronts attack. For much of England and Wales it will be a drier weekend with temperatures around 18/20c, thanks to a ridge of high pressure.
“Next week, we will see temperatures continue to rise as high pressure moves across the UK and becomes anchored throughout next week. As a result temperatures may push the low to mid twenties from the middle of next week onwards.

“Likely that the drier and warmer spell of weather may last seven to 10 days, though some models do try and bring the Atlantic in around day eight to nine, so we’ll have to keep an eye on that.”
This does tally with the Met Office’s latest bold predictions as we head into Autumn. While many would have expected it to be cooler during the night as well as the daytime, it appears not. According to the weather experts, from Monday, September 16, only one part of the day will cool down.

Lasting until Wednesday, September 25, a Met Office expert claimed: “The chance of some cloud and patchy rain or showers at first, more especially in central and/or northwestern areas, but by the middle of next week onwards high pressure is likely to become increasingly influential over the UK.
“This will likely lead to largely fine conditions for many areas, with the greatest chance of cloud and rain being across the far west and more especially north west, and perhaps a few showers occasionally in the far south east.
“Temperatures during this period are likely to be on the warmer side of average overall, but with settled conditions warm days could be offset by some chilly nights. Towards the end of this period there is a signal that the more settled conditions may cease.”

And heading further into what many call “spooky season” it doesn’t appear to get any less confusing. The long term forecast leading up to Wednesday, October 9, makes for similarly confusing reading, as the Met Office predictions “more unsettled/changeable conditions”.
They said: “There are weak signals that the track of Atlantic low pressure systems may sit further south than is typical in the early Autumn, and lead to an increased chance of some impacts from rain and wind across the UK. Temperatures are signalled to remain either close to or slightly above average.”
