The United Kingdom is set to experience a weekend that could potentially be hotter than Ibiza! The latest weather forecasts predict that temperatures in some parts of the UK could reach as high as 25 degrees Celsius.
Weather experts say that the UK could experience an “unseasonably warm” spell of weather in October, with the highest temperature since 2018 in some parts of the country.
The warm weather is expected to reach its peak on Sunday and last until early next week. However, it is uncertain how far north the warmth will extend. The Met Office says that even in the north of England and Northern Ireland, the temperatures will be much higher than the usual average for this season.
The South East of the UK is likely to see the hottest days of this autumn. The temperatures there could be similar or higher than some popular European destinations, such as Athens, Ibiza and Barcelona, according to the forecasters.
The UK’s average temperature for October is 13C (55.4F), based on the Met Office data. However, last month was one of the warmest Septembers ever recorded in the UK. The Met Office says that this is largely due to the impact of climate change.
This surprising turn of events has left many in anticipation of a warm and sunny weekend, akin to the weather typically enjoyed on the popular Spanish island of Ibiza. Known for its balmy Mediterranean climate, Ibiza is expected to see temperatures around 25 degrees Celsius.
While such high temperatures are not uncommon for Ibiza, they are certainly a treat for the UK, where residents are more accustomed to cooler weather. This weekend’s forecast has sparked excitement among locals, with many planning to make the most of the unexpected heatwave.
