Britain is set to see an extended summer as temperatures are forecast to reach as high as 25C next month.

Following a summer plagued with winds, rains and storms, the UK is set for a scorcher in the second week of September, with temperatures peaking in the mid 20Cs on September 11.

Global weather models show a heat plume engulfing the country from around September 10, with a red surge pushing northwards from the continent.

However, Britain could still face unsettled conditions due to hurricane season, which usually falls around September 10, despite them not actually making landfall in Britain because of the cool waters surrounding the country.

The Met Office's long-range forecast for the two-week period from September 10 to September 24 says: "There are presently no strong signals for any particular weather type to dominate during this period, but slowly evolving weather patterns seem most likely.

"However, the start of the period may see the most unsettled conditions trend towards the south, with drier conditions further north.

"As we head further through the month, there is slightly increased potential for high pressure to be centred close to the UK.

"This would bring an increased chance of generally more settled conditions developing, with more widespread drier spells.

"However, confidence in this is limited by the peak of the Atlantic Hurricane season, which can cause downstream effects on UK weather that only become apparent at shorter timescales.

"On balance, temperatures are more likely to trend above the seasonal average."

But, any hurricane impacts will not be predicted until nearer the time.
