It appears we haven’t seen the last of the hot weather quite yet.

Last weekend’s weather encouraged Brits to the beach as temperatures reached 25C on Sunday in same areas.

The UK is set to bask in an Indian summer, with temperatures potentially rising to 26C.

According to the Met Office, the UK will enjoy another two weeks of sunshine before the Autumnal temperatures creep in.

Meteorologist Helen Roberts told The Sun that high pressure is expected to dominate this week, keeping the weather dry and settled.

She said: “Much of this week is looking generally fairly quiet and settled.

“There will be sunny spells widely from Tuesday, with high pressure and a lot of tropical air being drawn up.”

Helen continued: “It's a definite change after an unsettled early September.
