The week ahead will bring a lot of fine and increasingly warm weather. Temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday are likely to reach the mid 20Cs. Does this count as an Indian summer? A definition widely used is a warm and fine period occurring after the first widespread frost. Last week there were some notably cold nights, with ground frost being widespread even in the south. So yes, this could be an Indian Summer, at least if you think autumn started on 1st September! (If you would like to browse the website without adverts and contribute to its ongoing development, explore the payment options, see below)

Tonight it remains dry across the UK. Mist and fog could form in places by the morning.

Tomorrow a repeat performance is expected. The dry weather continues across virtually the whole of the UK, with the possible exception of the far north west. Temperatures will be a little higher than today's, although in the south winds will be strengthening.

Indian summer

The following few days are expected to be dry and increasingly warm. However, in the northern half of the UK mist and fog is expected to develop during the nights. In the south, a strengthening easterly wind is likely to increasingly prevent that. By Friday the risk of showers in the south starts to increase.
