The UK will experience rising temperatures this weekend, with some areas seeing summer-like conditions; southern England, for example, could reach 25C on Monday. However, the Met Office and BBC Weather confirm that these temperatures will not meet heatwave criteria. Cooler conditions are expected to return by midweek, with no definitive signs of a heatwave later in September.
