For the rest of September – specifically September 18 to 27, it says: “This is likely to be a predominantly unsettled period beginning with fairly widespread rain or thundery showers, the latter especially for parts of England and Wales.<\/p>\n
“These will be tied into a warm, humid air mass which should clear to the east early in this period. Thereafter, more of an Atlantic influence looks most likely, with the potential for quite deep areas of low pressure run close by or even over the UK, bringing with them the risk of strong winds and heavy rain.<\/p>\n
“How this evolves is currently very uncertain and tied into systems currently in the subtropical Atlantic. After a warm start to the period, especially in the south, temperatures generally look to be close to average, although some further warm spells are likely at times.”<\/p>\n

Instead, its forecasters use words such as “summer-like weather” or “autumnal warmth”.<\/p>\n While experts say “confidence remains low for late September and early October”, its outlook from September 28 to October 11 has a tone of optimism.<\/p>\n It says in full: “Confidence remains low in late September and early October; however there are signals emerging of low pressure often being centred to the west of the UK, with higher pressure close to or just east of the UK.<\/p>\n “This indicates a greater chance of more in the way of settled conditions. There is an increased chance of some late season warm spells, with above average temperatures most likely.”<\/p>\n
