September was provisionally the joint fourth warmest on record for the United Kingdom, according to figures from the Met Office.<\/p>\n
And for the eighth month in a row, the average UK temperature was more than 1C above the norm.<\/p>\n
With warmer than average weather forecast for the rest of the year, we’re on track for 2026 to be one of the warmest years on record.<\/p>\n
While there was some rainfall throughout September, most of it fell in Scotland, while eastern and south-east England had another drier-than-average month.<\/p>\n
Overall September was an unsettled and – on the face of it – unremarkable month for weather.<\/p>\n
But, it has still ended up being the joint fourth warmest on record.<\/p>\n
With a mean average temperature of 14.6C, it was 1.6C above the long-term average. <\/p>\n
Both maximum and minimum temperatures were consistently above normal with only very short-lived bursts of heat, falling short of any official heatwave.<\/p>\n
The highest temperature recorded in the month was 28.6C in Northolt, London on 6 September.<\/p>\n
And Northern Ireland, saw the latest day on record where a temperature above 25C was recorded with 25.5C on 21 September in Helen’s Bay.<\/p>\n
It also remained relatively warm overnight with Northern Ireland recorded its joint warmest September for minimum temperature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"September was provisionally the joint fourth warmest on record for the United Kingdom, according to figures from the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":788727,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-788726","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/788726","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=788726"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/788726\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/788727"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=788726"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=788726"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=788726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
