Sunshine could last until the end of the month

PA

The sun has come out - just in time for the kids to go back to school - and forecasters believe that the good weather could stick around until the end of September.

The Express reports that high pressure is drawing warm air up from the south, and the Met Office forecasts that the whole of the UK can look forward to a warm, dry week with the highest temperatures in the south.

Although the Met Office warns that the nights may feel rather chilly, the outlook for England and Wales is "fine with plenty of sunshine".

For the rest of the month, we can expect some misty autumnal mornings, but once that clears we can look forward to dry weather and warm, sunny spells.

Today, temperatures are expected to reach up to 25C in the south, and it will also be dry and sunny in the north.

Jonathan Powell, forecaster for Vantage Weather Services, told The Express: "This is likely to hold out for next two weeks and even beyond."

It's a shame that we couldn't have had some sunshine in August, but better late than never!
