Cool, dark red weather maps from WXCharts signal a rise in temperatures early next month as thermometers continue to warm up across the Iberian Peninsula and France.
On September 1, the south-east is forecast to see highs of 28°C, while other parts of Britain will see temperatures well above 20°C.
This follows another prediction that suggests a prolonged situation heat wave starting in late August and extending until September.
Exacta Weather meteorologist James Madden even suggested that in the coming weeks, as a new high pressure system moves in, we could see mercury levels reaching mid-30ssuggesting an “Indian summer”.
In his latest update, he stated: “From next Sunday (August 25) or earlier, we will see Britain and Ireland returning to a prolonged summer climate, with significant increases in high pressure and a change in pattern to a much warmer air flow across our coasts.
“Temperatures are expected to rise to 25 to 30 degrees Celsius initially, and there is no reason why we cannot see more extreme temperatures, at least in the 35 to 45 degrees Celsius range, during these events.”
However, for now, conditions are expected to remain near or below the August average, with no significant changes expected before next week.
Unpredictable weather is expected to continue, including showers and periods of heavy rain in many regions.
Residents in western Scotland have been advised to prepare for torrential rain which could disrupt travel over the coming days.
Met Office Chief meteorologist Jason Kelly said: “A band of rain will move in from the west on Wednesday morning and will move slowly, with heavy bursts of rain at times, especially over the highlands in Scotland.
“This rain will persist through Thursday for many people within the warning area, with 75-100mm likely over wide areas, with greater accumulations possible on higher ground.
“Strong winds will accompany the rain, with speeds of 50 to 60 mph possible near the Irish Sea and western Scottish coasts.
“Coupled with spring tides, this could lead to some dangerous coastal conditions before winds gradually ease later Thursday.”
