It looks like the UK may be in for a mini heatwave next week, with temperatures potentially reaching as high as 26C. Weather maps show that areas such as London, East Anglia, and the Midlands could experience temperatures even higher than those of Barcelona, Spain.
However, the Met Office has predicted that temperatures won't reach that high, and will instead stay around the low 20s. They expect temperatures to reach a high of 24C on September 4, and 21C the following day. Areas of the Midlands, including Birmingham, will stay at 21C on September 4 and 5.
The Met Office's long range forecast states that temperatures will be "close to average" in the coming week, although they may feel "rather warm in any sunshine". They also mentioned that there may be thundery showers towards the south, and any unsettled spells will likely be confined to the northwest.
At the end of August, people were spotted enjoying the hot weather at Leigh-on-Sea in Essex during a brief hot spell. People also enjoyed the warm weather in Potters Fields Park in London and a paddle boarder travelled along the River Thames near Windsor, Berkshire.
A Met Office spokesperson said that there are signs of high pressure building in from the west. However, they warned that there is still uncertainty due to Tropical Cyclone activity in the Atlantic which could influence the weather. They also said that there is no sign of any spell that would meet heatwave criteria in their outlook, and while settled conditions could lead to higher temperatures during the day, these will be offset by cooler overnight periods.
