There’s nothing I can see from our data.” But in a long-range forecast, the Met Office did say that there is potential for “brief spells of warm or even very warm weather” during September. Conditions for the remainder of the week look “unsettled” with further outbreaks of rain and thunder in southern England looking likely, the Met Office said. Met Office scientist Emily Carlisle said: “While this summer may have felt cool compared to recent years, it’s important to note where it sits in a historical context, with the changing climate of the UK increasing the frequency of warmer summers, as can be observed through our observations. “While climate change increases the frequency of warmer weather in the UK, our natural variability means that we’ll still experience cooler than average summers at times.”
