Indian Summer- one glorious morning

With temperatures soaring to 30C we had a beautiful Summer for a week or so, this Autumn with some extra delightful mornings, rather scorching middays and again, pleasantly warm and full of sunshine evenings.

One last hay making

The very secret of this belated Summer:

What has brought the warm autumn weather to the UK?

Over the next few days we are expecting a spell of very warm weather for this time of year across much of England and Wales and even parts of Scotland too. The reason why we are seeing this unseasonable warm spell is due to an area of high pressure which has developed across much of central Europe, centred on Germany and Poland.
This draws up very warm air from a long way south, from parts of France and Spain. That 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.
