Met Office gives update on hot weather expected next week after Hurricane Larry

Brits are set for the return of yet more summer weather as "above average" temperatures are expected in some parts of England next week.

Heavy showers or longer spells are likely to hit from Sunday across parts of Wales and the south west of England, forecasters said.

The wet weather is likely to then spread across the rest of the country on Monday and Tuesday, meaning it will also feel more humid, according to Met Office spokesman Greg Dewhurst.

But as of Wednesday, some parts of the south will be graced with temperatures that are above average for this time of the year.

The forecaster in fact said Brits could be basking in up to 24C, despite the usual temperature for this time of year being about 18C.

The good news comes after the UK was set to be battered by torrential downpours over the weekend (PA)

It comes after the Mirror reported how Brits were set to be lashed by torrential downpours this weekend.

Meanwhile, in a 10-day forecast, Met Office forecaster Alex Deakin said that there will be a "real scrap" between high and low-pressure systems around the UK for most of next week because of an Atlantic hurricane.

He said: "Hurricane Larry in the Atlantic is heading towards Bermuda but is not expected to make landfall and should drift up to the north-eastern edge of Canada over the weekend as it transitions from a hurricane to a more typical area of low pressure.

"It is important because it is dragging a lot of warmth and a lot of energy and it will interact with the jet stream.

"It is likely to push it to the north and will have a significant impact.

"The effect for the UK is that the jet stream is in quite an unusual position which means there is some uncertainty about whether high or low pressure will control things."

He added: "For much of next week [there will be a] battleground of high pressure to the northeast, also high pressure down to the south-west and two lows squeezing in as well.

"One bringing warm and potential thunderstorms. It is a real scrap. At the moment, the high pressure is favoured but there is quite a bit of uncertainty.

"Models run multiple times show high pressure is more probable bringing potential fine weather for much of next week, but there is that low lurking to the south that could throw up showers."
