Sun lovers are set for more scorching weather ahead in September with weather maps again turning red as the mercury hits 30C.
The UK has seen several months of hot conditions which has brought an incredible four heatwaves to parts of the country as well as health warnings with the temperatures dangerously hot. Currently we are seeing temperatures dip from their highs in the 30Cs with low pressure systems bringing unsettled conditions and some much-needed rainfall to gardens.
But looking further ahead and into September, weather maps show that the balmy conditions are not over yet for this year and it will warm up after the first week into the month.

A high pressure system over the Continent is set to mean it will hit 30C in eastern England on September 8, while it will be noticeably cooler on the western coast and in Scotland where it might drop to the low teens.
The highest temperatures could reach as far north as Hull and across into the north west of England it could also be in the mid 20Cs but in most of Wales and southwest England it is unlikely to get higher than 20Cs.
Then it is a similar story for the following day, September 9, where possibly the highest temperatures of 30Cs are in a more narrow area in the east but generally it will be warmer, especially in Scotland.

The Met Office forecast for the period from September 3-12 states that it will generally be unsettled but there will be drier spells when the temperature may rise above its average for the time of year.
“Changeable and unsettled weather conditions are expected across the UK during this period with low pressure systems tending to dominate the overall pattern,” predicts the national agency.
“This will mean showers or longer spells of rain will affect the much of the UK at times. Some heavy rain or showers are expected in places, most often in the west. Thunderstorms and hail are also possible, as are some spells of strong winds if any deep areas of low pressure form in the vicinity of the UK.
“Some short-lived spells of drier and more settled weather are also possible at times, especially later in the period when they may last a little longer. Temperatures will likely be close to average or slightly below overall, but may rise above at times in any drier, sunnier spells.”
