UK Indian Summer weather maps show 25C scorcher on cards as date revealed

New weather maps have forecast a 25C Indian Summer scorcher could be on the cards.

Millions of Brits could bask in autumn splendour next month with the mercury ticking up to as high as 25C. Forecast maps from WXCharts, which uses Met Office data, show temperatures rising to 22C in Norfolk, with the rest of East Anglia and the South East of England experiencing fluctuations between 20C to 23C from October 4.

While signs of an Indian summer are forecast t be apparent for those living in the South East and East Anglia, the rest of the UK will see temperatures of between 11C to 19C. Those living in the Pennines could even see the mercury tumble to as low as 9C.

The following day most areas, outside the Highlands, will see temperatures rise. In East Anglia, the mercury will surge up to 22C and 23C while the South East will rise up to 21C and 22C.

In Northern England, millions will feel temperatures of 16C and 20C with southern Scotland experiencing 15C and 16C. Meanwhile, Northern Ireland will see the mercury hover around 17C and 19C.

On October 6, the most eastern tip of Norfolk will see highs of 25 with remaining areas of East Anglia hitting 23C and 24C. In other parts of the UK, eastern and central England will hit between 17C to 21C.

An Indian summer is typically classed as a warm, calm spell of weather that happens in autumn, especially in October and November. These high temperatures would not be the hottest October Indian summer ever recorded with that happening on October 1, 2011, in Gravesend, Kent, where temperatures rose t 29.9C.

The Met Office said "on balance" some rain, and potentially some strong winds are likely to affect at least the west of the UK. A west-east split was forecast to have wetter weather in western areas, although temperatures are expected to be above average around the country.

But the Met Office said from October 6 to October 20, that confidence is low about how weather regimes will affect the UK during that period. "On balance, slow-moving weather patterns are most favoured at first, possibly with high pressure centred to the west of the UK, and low pressure to the northeast, allowing a slightly cooler and more changeable flavour to the weather to develop," it said.

"Towards mid-October a more unsettled pattern may become established as areas of low pressure over the North Atlantic move close to or over the UK, with an increased chance of windy conditions at times. Temperatures will probably recover to near-average."
