Hurricane Dorian could bring unsuspected heatwave to UK next week

Brits could bask a new sweltering heatwave next week as a result of the Hurricane Dorian, forecasters say.

The swathe of high pressure will sweep up from Europe in the middle of September.

And according to North Wales Live , the "spell of warmer weather " will occur as a consequence of the tail-end of Hurricane Dorian moving eastwards, passing across parts of our continent.

It is expected to sweep warm air towards the UK.

John Hammond, an ex-BBC forecaster who now works for Weathertrending, said: "This storm will have as yet unpredictable results for our weather.

"I would not discount the prospect of another period of dry and warm weather later in the month."

Temperatures as a result will threaten to hit 20C, particularly in the south and east of the UK next week, it is believed.

In September, the mercury rarely exceeds 15C.

The average temperature this month for the UK last year was 13.8C.

However, before then, most of the UK will suffer heavy rainfall .

North Wales is in particular expected to be battered by downpours in the next few days.

"Sunny spells and isolated showers at first [on Wednesday], but strengthening winds will spread increasing cloud and showery rain across all parts in the afternoon, with possible gales developing in the northwest," a spokesman for Met Office said.

"Bright and breezy on Thursday with scattered showers.

"Cloudy and windy on Friday with rain in places, clearing southeastwards later."

The massive Hurricane Dorian - - is continuing to hurtle towards the US after already claiming the lives of at least five people.

It is set to move its way up the east coast of the US before heading back across the Atlantic Ocean.
