Bank Holiday Heat Peaks Near 30C Before Ex‑Hurricane Erin Turns UK Unsettled

RNLI warns of powerful surf and rip currents as larger waves build early next week.

Overview

  • Met Office forecasts a widely sunny and very warm Bank Holiday Monday, with top temperatures around 28–30C in parts of England and Wales.
  • Cloud and rain are expected to reach Northern Ireland late Monday as the remnants of Hurricane Erin approach from the Atlantic.
  • From Tuesday, forecasters expect cooler, more changeable conditions with bands of rain moving west to east and a blustery feel.
  • Large waves are likely along western coasts early in the week, prompting RNLI advice to choose lifeguarded beaches and stay cautious in the water.
  • Temperatures ease back to near average through the week, and longer‑range outlooks favour low pressure into early September with lower‑than‑usual confidence in daily details.
