UK hot weather maps reveal exact date 'summer's back' with 26C scorcher

Brits are likely to experience scorching conditions in a few weeks as the latest weather maps have turned red as the temperature level soars to 26C in September. Weather maps from WXCharts suggest parts of the UK will see warmer conditions, days after heavy rain showers and strong gusts wreaked havoc across the country.

Areas around Birmingham, Leicester, Peterborough, Cambridge, Northampton and Coventry will see the highest temperature with the mercury levels soaring as high as 26C. Other parts of the UK including Manchester, Luton, Leeds, York and Sheffield will sizzle at 25C, the weather maps have suggested. London, Oxford, Reading, Gloucester and Statford upon Avon will see the temperature levels between 23C and 24C. Even the northern parts of the country will see the temperature levels rising to the double digits, bringing in a hope of warmer weather amidst the wet and windy conditions.

Areas around Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen will see the highs of 18 and 19C, the maps have suggested. According to the weather charts, the warmer air will sweep several regions of the country will even the northern areas experiencing high temperatyures.

The sudden switch in the weather condition comes as the Met Office issued a yellow warning of wind for many areas of the country. Most of England and all of Wales will be affected by strong winds from Sunday evening through to late afternoon on Monday.

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Stephen Kocher said: "Strong west or southwesterly winds will arrive across coastal areas of southwest England and Wales during Sunday evening, spreading inland and eastwards during Monday morning. Gusts of 45-55 mph are expected widely in inland areas, while gusts of 60-70 mph are possible at times along exposed coasts and hills."

The Met Office's long-range forecast between September 16 and 25 also suggests the possibility of dry weather conditions later in September.

It reads: "Likely a continuation of the unsettled theme at first with further showers each day on a brisk westerly wind.

"Risk of some stronger winds and heavy rain around the middle of the week, although this looks a low risk at this time. Later in the period, there may be a trend toward more in the way of settled and drier interludes interspersed with further periods of rain and showers.

"These look more likely across southern areas of the UK, but may extend to other parts at times.

"Temperatures will likely be close to average or slightly below overall, but if we start to see more in the way of dry weather later in the period, temperatures could recover back to a little above average at times."
