A low-pressure system in the Atlantic will bring warm south to southeast winds across the UK early this week, with temperatures peaking on Tuesday between 20 to 26°C in England and Wales. However, rain is expected to follow later in the week, particularly affecting Scotland, Northern Ireland, and western parts of England and Wales. In contrast, central, southern, and eastern areas of England may receive less rainfall, continuing a pattern observed throughout September where these regions have experienced significantly lower precipitation compared to northern and western parts.

Story summary
Britons are experiencing unusually warm weather in late September, with temperatures reaching up to 26°C in some areas like London. The Met Office forecasts a warm weekend followed by rain starting Monday as a low-pressure system moves in from the Atlantic, bringing wet and windy conditions to parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland, and western England and Wales. Eastern England is expected to remain largely dry despite the approaching front. Tuesday will see temperatures around 25°C before cooler autumn weather sets in later in the week. Some areas have received very little rain since summer, exacerbating drought conditions, while other regions like north-west Scotland have seen significant rainfall.

Following the UK's hottest summer on record, September has been another notably warm month for many.
But it has also highlighted a stark north-west to south-east contrast.
While Scotland and other western areas have seen frequent Atlantic weather systems bearing rain and wind, much of central, southern and eastern England has remained largely dry with plenty of sunshine.
As a result, rainfall totals have varied dramatically.
Some drought-affected parts of England have received very little, while parts of north-west Scotland have been very wet.

Some parts - including Kirkwall and Prestwick - have already had nearly one-and-a-half times their average September rainfall.

At Achnagart in the Highlands, rain has been recorded every day for the past 27 days.

Parts of Northern Ireland and Wales have had their average rainfall, whilst north-east England has seen some of the lowest amounts so far.
