Another round of heatwave to set foot in BritainIt has just been a few days since Britain was reeling under hot weather conditions. So much so that the region had witnessed the hottest day in September a few days ago. In fact, temperatures were soaring to a 34.4 degrees in Gravesend, Kent making it the warmest September in 105 years.

The residents had just gotten over from those blazing conditions and were enjoying slightly better weather when a hot air from Europe is expected to bring the blistering heatwave back.

As per reports, the month of September has been hotter than the past three months. Not only this, the average temperature until now has been recorded at 15.9°C, which is 3.3 degrees above the normal levels. With the hot air blast about to sweep in, the next fortnight is expected to result in soaring temperatures.

While this may not be the hottest September on record, it is expected to be one of the warmest ever. Not only this, the first few days of the month of October are expected to be slightly warm making conditions uncomfortable for the residents.

The mercury is expected to begin to rise this week onward itself, and temperatures may reach about 21 degrees in the southern areas in a day or two. During the weekend, temperatures may soar to a good 25 degrees, which happens to be 10 degrees above the normal levels.

Central parts are expected to be less warm with temperatures ranging around the 20-degree mark. However, if the average of 12.7 degrees is taken into account, it still will result in uncomfortable weather conditions.

The northern parts are expected to witness some rains and winds around Saturday which will make the residents get the feel of autumn. However, during the next few days, as per meteorologists, many areas in the south along with a few in north may witness the mercury soaring to a whopping 30 degrees.
