September Scorcher!
Why is it so warm when we thought we had waved goodbye to summer?
A Met Office spokesman says an area of high pressure has developed across much of central Europe, centred on Germany and Poland, which is the reason for this week's warm weather.
'This high pressure draws up very warm air from a long way south, from parts of France and Spain,' he said.
'It comes across a dry continent, removing most of the moisture out of the air. As a result we see very little in the way of cloud, with blue skies and plenty of sunshine.
'As a result the sunshine warms the ground and the ground warms the air so we see high temperatures for this time of the year.'
The Met Office said that despite many media reports calling the warm weather an ‘Indian summer’, it is too early in the year to call it that. An Indian summer is defined as 'a warm, calm spell of weather occurring in autumn, especially in October and November'.
