POLICY WIRE — London, United Kingdom — Forecasters are predicting a surge in temperatures across parts of the UK today, with mercury levels expected to climb as high as 27C (81F).
Meteorologists have described the conditions as notably warm for this stage of the calendar. While some regions are bracing for a remarkable late-September heat blast, the unseasonable warmth is expected to be fleeting.
The shift in weather is being driven by low pressure moving in from the Atlantic. This system is responsible for the current spike in heat, though it will also usher in wetter and windier conditions starting later today and continuing into Wednesday.
