UK weather: September warmth means 2026 could be one of the warmest years on record (opens the original)
Read excerpt
September was provisionally the joint fourth warmest on record for the United Kingdom, according to figures from the Met Office. And for the eighth month in a row, the average UK temperature was more than 1C above the norm. 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. While there was some rainfall throughout September, most of it fell in Scotland, while eastern and south-east England had another drier-than-a
UK set to turn cooler as unsettled weather continues (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Much of the UK is set to feel cooler from Tuesday, as more changeable weather moves in. Parts of the UK are also likely to see some spells of rain, especially to northern and western parts of the UK.

And water companies are reminding customers that temporary hosepipe bans are still in force despite the rainfall and decreased demand with the cooler weather. More rain is in the forecast this week and while that will be welcome, sustaine
How a new era of heatwaves could shake up the school calendar (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Over the past two weeks, the sound of children has returned to Scotland's school playgrounds. Their summer breaks began in late June or early July and ended in mid-August. It's an academic year replicated in other European countries too. In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, however, children will not return until early September. Their holidays are a similar length to Scotland's but England and Wales schools did not break up until late July, something that meant pupils were in school during t
