A warm and sunny start to September will be followed by unsettled weather with forecasts of rain, thunderstorms and strong winds on the way next week.
The Met Office has warned low pressure systems will dominate the second week of September, bringing showers, longer spells of rain, and the potential for thunderstorms, hail and strong winds.
While this weekend will see sunny spells and warm and humid temperatures, it will be the calm before the storm as forecasts for the next week will see outbreaks of rain and thunder and strong gusts.
Liam Eslick, senior operational meteorologist at the Met Office, said: “Saturday looks like the best day of the weekend with hazy sunny spells throughout the day and staying dry for most people.
“The winds will pick up through the evening and overnight with the potential for coastal gales through the Irish Sea and on some higher hills.
“Sunday remains windy in these places but will also feel rather warm and humid, especially in the east with highs of 26 Celsius.
“Further west there will be outbreaks of rain and possible thunder across the southwest.
“Into next week, winds will not be as strong but it will keep the unsettled nature through Monday with sunshine and showers, keeping the risk of the odd isolated rumble of thunder and temperatures returning to around the seasonal average.
“Tuesday and Wednesday could see some longer spells of rain, some being heavy and thundery at times with some stronger gusts.”

The latest forecast follows provisional Met Office statistics confirming that summer 2025 is officially the warmest summer on record for the UK.
Analysis by Met Office climate scientists revealed that a summer as hot or hotter than 2025 is now 70 times more likely than it would be in a ‘natural’ climate with no human caused greenhouse gas emissions.

The UK’s mean temperature from 1 June to 31 August stands at 16.10°C, which is 1.51°C above the long-term meteorological average.
This surpasses the previous record of 15.76°C, set in 2018, and pushes the summer of 1976 out of the top five warmest summers in a series dating back to 1884.
Met Office scientist Dr Emily Carlisle said: “Provisional Met Office statistics show that summer 2025 is officially the warmest on record with a mean temperature of 16.10°C, surpassing the previous record of 15.76°C set in 2018.
“The persistent warmth this year has been driven by a combination of factors including the domination of high-pressure systems, unusually warm seas around the UK and the dry spring soils.
“These conditions have created an environment where heat builds quickly and lingers, with both maximum and minimum temperatures considerably above average.”
1976, which had a mean temperature of 15.70°C, has now dropped out of the top five warmest summers since records began in 1884, leaving all five warmest summers having occurred since 2000.
