Yahoo News South ready for Indian summer this week as temperatures could reach 22C
Britain is set to enjoy an Indian summer this week as temperatures are forecast to hit as high as 22C.
The sun will return after the weekend washout, which saw torrential rain in many parts of the UK.
Temperatures are expected to make their way into the 20s on Wednesday and Thursday in London and the south of England.
However, people in the north of country may want to keep their coats and umbrellas handy, as more wind and rain is forecast there.
It follows two storms, Ali and Bronagh, which brought heavy rain, high winds and flooding.
But some of the good weather enjoyed by many in the summer heatwave is expected to return in the south, particularly midweek.
The Met Office said there will be “a north/south split developing through the middle of the week”.

The Indian summer will be a welcome respite for some following the weekend washout.
In Scotland, temperatures dipped as low as 5C, although the Met Office cancelled a yellow warning for wind and rain on Sunday morning as conditions eased.
Monday will see sunny spells and mostly dry weather in England, although showers are expected in Scotland.
