The Met Office has confirmed that temperatures could reach 25°C in parts of southeast England on Monday, October 2, as a spell of warm, sunny weather arrives. Senior operational meteorologist Greg Dewhurst said that if enough sunshine materialises, the mercury could climb to around 25°C, well above the October average of 14°C.
Following a sunny Monday, the rest of the week is expected to remain pleasant, with temperatures peaking again on Saturday, October 7. WXCharts data shows maximum temperatures of 21°C in southeast England on that day, while western Britain will see mid-teens. The only significant rainfall is forecast for Tuesday morning across North Wales, the Midlands, and northwest England.
Netweather forecaster Terry Scholey noted a "hint of a finer interval later next week, perhaps giving many of us a brief taste of summery weather once again." However, he warned that the UK will first experience an unsettled and blustery weekend, with showers in northern and western parts of England and Wales.
Earlier this month, the Daily Mirror accurately predicted the warm spell would return around October 2. Netweather added that conditions will be "sunnier than average," particularly in the west and southwest of England and across Wales, with high pressure shifting to the north of England by the end of that week.
