The UK could be set for a mini heatwave next week bringing temperatures potentially to 26C.

Weather maps show that between September 2 and September 6, the country could experience an Iberian Plume.

It would mean areas like London, East Anglia and the Midlands would enjoy temperatures hotter than Barcelona, in Spain.

But the Met Office has predicted during this period temperatures will not reach that high and instead stay around the low 20s.

The weather service predicts temperatures will reach a high of 24C on September 4, and 21C the following day.

Temperatures in parts of the Midlands, including Birmingham, will stay at 21C on September 4 and 5.

The long range forecast from the Met Office predicts for next week ‘temperatures are expected to be close to average’ but may feel ‘rather warm in any sunshine’.

It continued: ‘The chance of some thundery showers towards the south is likely to remain, while any unsettled spells will probably be confined to the northwest.’

A Met Office spokesperson said: ‘There are signs of high pressure starting to build in from the west of the UK through next week, however there is still uncertainty in the forecast due to Tropical Cyclone activity in the Atlantic which can influence the weather we experience in the UK.

‘The longer range forecast does currently show more settled conditions especially in the south and south east of the UK, though with the chance of humid and thundery conditions in the far south or south east at times. Any more prolonged unsettled conditions confined to the far north and north west.

‘There is no sign of any spell that would meet heatwave criteria in our outlook, and while settled conditions could lead to higher temperatures during the day these will be offset by cooler overnight periods.’
