We tend to talk about hot air coming from the south, a warm plume coming up from the south, perhaps all the way up from Africa creating heatwave conditions. But, what we’re actually seeing is something slightly

regions, one in 20-year extreme temperature events are projected to be hotter. Events that are considered extreme today will be more common in the future. Changes in temperature extremes even for short periods can be critical, especially if they coincide with key stages of crop development. Heavy

for Sunday Sunday will see areas of low cloud across some central and eastern regions during the morning, but this will gradually clear to leave plenty of sunshine for most. The Northern Isles may remain rather grey throughout the day. Temperatures will again be very warm, locally hot in central

hot day in the southeast on Tuesday, potentially seeing temperatures of 31-32°C. Mid to late next week: High pressure returns As we move into the second half of next week, the trend is for higher pressure to build once again. Probability plots show a greater than 50% chance of a more settled

maximum from the heatwaves that occurred that summer. But 2025 had persistent warmth day and night through the summer with few notable cooler spells.  READ MORE: Summer 2025 is the warmest on record for the UK  How hot was summer 2025? Analysis of the UK’s climate records shows that every region
