Parts of the UK will experience more hot weather after a summer of record temperatures saw many counties bask in heat well beyond 30C. While cold weather will arrive for much of the country, some regions will still enjoy temperatures in the mid-20s, according to the latest weather maps. This comes after the UK experienced a staggering four heatwaves throughout the summer, which led to hosepipe bans in some areas as well as drought warnings.

At the beginning of September, Brits in certain regions will welcome hot weather, including spots along the coast where there are beautiful seaside towns that swell with visitors over the summer. Temperatures will reach as high as 25C in areas like Norfolk and Suffolk on Wednesday, September 3. Meanwhile, surrounding counties will reach higher than 20C in a brief return of summer before the usual Autumn temperatures set in, when some areas dip as low as 3C.

The counties in England that will experience temperatures between 23C and 25C, according to the latest weather maps available on WXCharts, are:

• Norfolk
• Suffolk
• Cambridgeshire
• Lincolnshire
• Kent
• Greater London
• Surrey
• Berkshire
• Hertfordshire
• Buckinghamshire
• Bedfordshire
• Northamptonshire
• Leicestershire
• Rutland
• Nottinghamshire
• East Riding of Yorkshire

Meanwhile, counties like Hampshire, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, and Bristol in the south of England will experience temperatures of above 20C on September 3. In the north, around Derbyshire, Cheshire and Yorkshire, there will also be relatively high temperatures.

In Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland, temperatures will be much cooler. The Met Office has warned of changeable weather throughout the start and middle of September, with the chance of sunny spells as well as downpours in many parts of the country.

From the start of the month, low pressure is expected to dominate, which will bring unfavourable weather for most days. “Some heavy rain or showers are expected in places, most often in the west,” the forecast says.

“Thunderstorms and hail are also possible, as are some spells of strong winds if any deep areas of low pressure form in the vicinity of the UK. Some short-lived spells of drier and more settled weather are also possible at times, especially early and again late in the period, when they may last a little longer.”
