The United Kingdom braces for another warm day after hottest summer on record.
According to The Independent, summer-like temperatures could make a brief return in the UK on Sunday, September 6, with parts of the country forecast to reach 28C.
Locations in south-east England could reach 27 or 28C, with England and Wales more widely to see temperatures hit the mid-20s.
UK temperatures will be pushed above average thanks to a southerly wind drawing in hot and humid air from the continent.
Sunshine will develop for many later in the day, increasing temperatures for many.
For much of south-east England, central-southern England and the Welsh marches, temperatures will widely peak in the mid-twenties, with the mercury hitting 28C in some spots.
South-west England and eastern Wales could see highs of 25C, while the North of England will see temperatures in the low 20s.
Eastern parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland could see afternoon highs around 21 or 22C. However, the heat is expected to pass by Monday.
It comes after the Met Office this week confirmed the UK has provisionally experienced its hottest summer since records began nearly 150 years ago.
Five heatwaves between May and August left the majority of the country in drought and have sparked wildfires and travel disruption.
The Met Office said that the UK recorded a mean average temperature across June, July and August of 16.5C, beating the previous seasonal high of 16.1C set last year.
The forecaster previously suggested the UK was on course for its hottest summer on record, provided temperatures remained around average for the rest of August, and it is expected the final figures for the month will break the previous record.
The highest temperature recorded this summer was on 13 August at Kew Gardens, when the mercury hit 38.1C.
Prior to 2026, temperatures of over 37C had only been recorded nine times in the UK, three of which have occurred this year.
