After a summer of record-breaking heat, parts of the UK are set to enjoy even more hot weather before the autumn begins.
As much of the nation prepares for cooler conditions, certain areas will continue to experience temperatures reaching the mid-20s, according to the most recent weather charts.
This comes after a remarkable summer during which the UK had four separate heatwaves, resulting in hosepipe restrictions and drought alerts across various locations.
As September arrives, residents in particular regions can anticipate pleasant weather, including seaside areas renowned for their delightful coastal communities that draw visitors throughout the summer months.
Locations such as Norfolk and Suffolk are forecast to witness temperatures climbing as high as 25C on Wednesday, 3rd September, reports the Mirror.
This development emerges as the current summer is believed to represent the hottest on record.
The Met Office indicates this summer will "almost certainly" become the UK's warmest on record, with the mean average temperature for the season standing at 16.13C, according to figures up to August 28.
Should this season be verified as establishing a fresh record for average temperature, it would signify that all of the UK's top five warmest summers have taken place since 2000.
The current top five comprise 2018 (15.76C), 2006 (15.75C), 2003 (15.74C), 2022 (15.71C) and 1976 (15.70C).
Several counties will experience a temporary return of summer conditions with temperatures surpassing 20C before the characteristic autumn chill arrives, leading some regions to plummet as low as 3C. According to the most recent WXCharts weather maps, the English counties expected to witness temperatures between 23C and 25C include:
In contrast, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland will face much cooler temperatures. The Met Office has forecasted changeable weather throughout the beginning and middle of September, with the possibility of sunny spells as well as heavy rain across various parts of the country.
As we head into the month, low pressure is set to take over, bringing with it some rather grim weather. "Some heavy rain or showers are expected in places, most often in the west," warns the forecast.
"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 early and again late in the period, when they may last a little longer."
