After the UK experienced its warmest summer on record, the Met Office has issued its verdict on the chance of warm weather returning as autumn creeps around the corner.

The majority of schools are going back next week after the six-week summer holidays, which can only mean one thing - summer is out, and autumn is coming. And, along with autumn comes some cooler and wetter weather.

The UK had four widespread heatwaves throughout summer 2025, making it overall the warmest summer on Met Office records.

Summer 2025 surpassed the previous record set in 2018, when the average temperature was 15.76C, but this year, the average is running at around 16.13C.
