Summer’s back for Hot-tober
BRITAIN is set for its hottest October day in seven years this week.
Warm air from the Canary Islands will bring higher temperatures than Portugal during a 12-day Indian summer.
The Met Office has forecast up to 25C on Wednesday and Thursday – 11C above the average high. Even the North is due 21C and over 23.6C would beat anything since 29.9C recorded in Gravesend, Kent, on October 1, 2011.
The warm spell will continue through the weekend and most of next week.
Weather Outlook forecaster Brian Gaze added: “Don’t put the BBQ away – it’s summer’s last hurrah.”
