This would be the most consecutive days of temperatures above 30C in September Stephen Dixon, Met Office Prolonged heat above 30C also leaves older people and those with respiratory or cardiovascular diseases at greater risk, with the UK Health Security Agency issuing an amber warning until Sunday evening. Mr Dixon said: “On four occasions in Met Office climate statistics has September had three consecutive days of temperatures above 30C. The folklore expression “red sky at night, shepherd’s delight” is true in many cases, the Met Office has said, as it means high pressure and fair weather is moving in from the west, “whereas red sky in the morning, shepherd’s warning” – means that high pressure is beginning to move away.
