Met Office maps show 24C weeks into autumn with at least 22C in 24 areas - full list Weather maps show temperatures hitting 24C in the UK later this month in what could be the last heat surge for the country after a record breaking year Brits can look forward to balmy Autumn temperatures of 24C later this month with 24 areas enjoying at least 22C, according to Met Office charts. In a year with a succession of heatwaves and unprecedented high temperatures, the warm weather is not over yet. Met Office maps show temperatures dropping into the teens in the coming days but the mercury is then set to rise again with highs of 24C in London on Monday, September 21. Warm air is set to be brought to the UK by a high pressure system from the Continent with the south of the country seeing the highest temperatures. There are 24 areas set for at least 22C according to the charts, with the West Midlands the furthest north. Some of the home counties could see 23C but it will be cooler along the south coast and Cornwall. Further north, it will still be pleasant in the sunshine with temperatures in the high teens or 20C but there are also rain clouds over Scotland from a lurking low pressure front. A Met Office forecast from September 14 to 23 says there will be "some rather warm days at times" during the period. It states: "Remaining changeable, with occasional rain or showers arriving from the North Atlantic, most frequent across northern and western parts of the UK, where some strong winds will also be possible at times. "However, there will also be some reasonable dry and more settled periods, especially across southern areas. Later in the month, high pressure may become more dominant in the vicinity of the UK, perhaps bringing more widely settled conditions for a time, especially away from the far north. "Temperatures for the period as a whole will probably be close to average overall, but there is scope for some rather warm days at times, along with occasional relatively cool nights." Looking further ahead to the end of the month and early October, the forecaster says that the weather could become "more changeable". It says: "High pressure initially close to the UK, with a continuation of more settled conditions at times, may start to weaken its influence on the weather later in the month and into early October. "As a result, it may become more changeable with a greater chance of rain or showers in places, and perhaps some strong winds at times too. Temperatures will likely be a little above average overall, with relatively cool nights possible at first tending to reduce in frequency later in the period."
