2017 UK autumn forecast: Will an indian summer revive the warm weather?

Though summer heat faded early across much of the United Kingdom, a few days of steamy weather will return come autumn.

Overall, temperatures are predicted to average close to normal through the season, though brief spikes are possible in September.

“This will be especially true across Wales, western England, the Midlands and southern England,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Tyler Roys said.

“Temperatures making a run towards the upper 20s in some locations during September can't be ruled out,” he said.

Northern England is likely to experience a few days around 20-22 degrees Celsius while southern England could climb as high as 28 or 29 C.

Opportunities for warmth will quickly diminish into October.

“Temperatures for October and November are predicted be around normal to slightly below-normal across the British Isles,” Roys said.

This will introduce the threat for snowfall during the early part of October across the Scottish Highlands.

For much of Scotland and Northern Ireland, however, the early half of autumn will spell wet weather.

The risk for windstorms will increase in these areas throughout fall, with the greatest opportunity arriving in late October and November.

After the British Isles dodged any impact from former tropical Atlantic systems last autumn, they run a risk for one to three impacts this season.

“The biggest impacts that any of these systems would bring will be heavy rainfall and gusty winds,” Roys said.

Rainy spells with also batter England and Wales following a brief dry spell in early September.

“Rounds of showers will return to areas like Manchester and Cardiff around the middle of the month,” Roys said.
