This week's hot weather comes as a welcome change for many, with people hailing the arrival of an Indian summer following a disappointingly cool July and August
Met Office chief meteorologist, Neil Armstrong, said: “High pressure is situated to the south-east of the UK, which is bringing more settled conditions and temperatures well above average for the time of year. While the highest temperatures are expected in the south, heatwave conditions are likely across much of England and Wales especially, with parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland also likely to see some unseasonably high temperatures.
The heat is expected to peak on Wednesday and Thursday, but temperatures and humidity will remain high for many in the south into the weekend, the Met Office said, and there’s an increasing chance of some intense thundery downpours, most likely in the west.
