Hurricanes do not make landfall in Britain because of the cool waters surrounding the country. But ex-tropical cyclones which have hit the Carribbean, for example, may actually impact the weather pattern facing the UK.<\/p>\n
And this is a factor which will feed into forecasters’ predictions in the coming weeks, despite weather models suggesting a late heat surge may be on the horizon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Between Sunday, September 10 and September 24, the Met Office’s long-range forecast says: “There are presently no strong signals for any particular weather type to dominate during this period, but slowly evolving weather patterns seem most likely.<\/p>\n
“However, the start of the period may see the most unsettled conditions trend towards the south, with drier conditions further north.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“As we head further through the month, there is slightly increased potential for high pressure to be centred close to the UK.<\/p>\n
“This would bring an increased chance of generally more settled conditions developing, with more widespread drier spells.<\/p>\n
“However, confidence in this is limited by the peak of the Atlantic Hurricane season, which can cause downstream effects on UK weather that only become apparent at shorter timescales.<\/p>\n
“On balance, temperatures are more likely to trend above the seasonal average.”<\/p>\n
