Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 09:24 · Archive

Warm air from Hurricane Isaias will bring above-average temperatures to the UK this week, with some areas reaching 23C.

The remnants of Hurricane Isaias, which hit the southern US on Saturday, are set to bring warm weather to the UK this week. Southerly winds associated with the hurricane system will replace north-westerly winds that brought cooler conditions over the weekend.

Monday night temperatures in parts of England could remain as high as 18C, approaching the UK's October overnight record of 18.6C. Daytime temperatures will reach 14 to 19C across much of the country, above the mid-October average of 12-16C. As the week progresses, temperatures will climb further, with lows in the low 20s possible across southern and eastern England on Tuesday. Parts of East Anglia could see highs around 23C.

Despite the warmth, much of the UK will experience cloudy skies with occasional rain and drizzle as the warmer southerly winds move in. Some brighter spells are expected in north-east Scotland, east Wales, the West Midlands and the north coast of Northern Ireland. Clearer skies are forecast into Wednesday morning, bringing cooler but sunnier conditions to most areas.
