Posted in the autumn thread:
I've been hesitating about posting this as the models have been very conflicting, with entirely different solutions being presented. It's starting to look more likely now that next weekend will see temperatures in the mid 20s across much of England with some favoured eastern spots seeing perhaps 26 or 27c. This is some 10c above the average maximum temperature for October.
This hot air is coming from the south, where parts of northern and central France may see temperatures in the high 20s or perhaps low 30s.
