The experts say the unusual September weather is down to a system known as Omega
September’s heatwave is likely to peak on Saturday with temperatures rising as high as 33C in London, the Met Office has said. It is likely to be the hottest day of the year, though further north will be cooler, and would beat the previous one set in June at 32.2C, with the UK Health Security Agency issuing an amber warning for heat until Sunday evening at 9pm.
Named after the Greek letter omega because of its shape, this system occurs when an area of high pressure gets stuck between two areas of low pressure to the west and east and also slightly south. This has brought torrential rain and flooding for Spain and Greece but hot, dry and clear conditions for the UK and central Europe.
For Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Cornwall and northern England, the threshold is 25C; for Somerset, Hampshire and the Welsh Borders, 26C; the south coast, East Anglia and the East Midlands, 27C; and for London and the home counties the threshold is 28C.
