Britain will enjoy 20C temperatures at the beginning of the week with warm air from Africa set to keep mercury above average until Halloween.
The Met Office confirmed the South and South East will be the driest and warmest regions of the country over the next week.

However, conditions over the next 24-36 hours will be unsettled with extensive parts of the North encountering rain and powerful winds.
After a short period, the weather will settle down, with most areas in the British Isles staying dry.

A representative from the Met Office told a newspaper outlet that with low pressure anchored to the southwest of the United Kingdom during the coming week, winds will remain from a south-easterly direction.
The spokesperson said this will act like a pump, bringing some relatively warm air for October northwards from Iberia and France. Daytime maximum temperatures will reach 18-20 Celsius in some southern regions, whereas the average high for mid-October will be close to 14 Celsius.

Nick Finnis, the Netweather forecaster, told a newspaper outlet that some computer models show 22C and 23C by midweek, bringing an Indian Summer.
He said that an extremely generous plume of air from northwest Africa looks like it’s being pumped across Europe and to Britain, which is up to the low 30s in France, and over 20C in southern Britain.
An Indian Summer can be defined as a warm and calm period of weather during the autumn.
The most elevated temperature in October ever registered in the United Kingdom was in 2011 when temperatures skyrocketed to 29.9C in Gravesend, Kent.
Last year October was a warm month with a typically autumnal blend of weather types with warm periods and frequent showers.
According to the Met Office, average maximum temperatures were more than 10C above long-term averages.
Experts have said the favourable conditions will continue up until Halloween on October 31.
The news comes after the Met Office issued a yellow warning last month when the weather was expected to cause disruption to transport and businesses.
I suppose that will be nice. At least then we won’t have to put on our central heating for a little while, and at least our elderly won’t freeze to death, well until the end of October, then we’ll likely see them dropping like flies because they can’t afford to keep their heating on.
So, let’s hope that we have an extremely mild winter and the heating doesn’t have to go on too much, but what we could really do with is an offset till the Spring so that we can keep our heating bills down, but you can bet our arses that we’ll be freezing this winter.
Of course, the longer it says warm, the longer we can keep the heating off, but can you imagine the energy companies, they will be so annoyed if we barely use any, and it was only last week the weatherman was spewing off about us having an arctic winter – propaganda at its best, wouldn’t you say? Now all they will be talking about is climate change again which will spark mass demonstrations.
I’m really shocked the woke brigade are still letting us use the word ‘Indian Summer’. There will be controversy over that next.
There’s no such thing as climate change, this is pretty much the norm every October, and if sea levels are rising why are politicians buying beachfront homes, but of course, they’re attempting to whip up support for even more enslavement through this drivel.
