UK Set for Surprise Indian Summer in October 2025
7 Oct
Summary
- Unusually dry summer and autumn across UK
- Temperatures could reach 21°C in mid-October
- Climate change making these warm spells more common
As of October 7th, 2025, the UK is set to experience an unexpected Indian Summer later this month, according to a leading meteorologist. Temperatures could reach as high as 21°C, which is unusually warm for this time of year.
The country has seen an unusually dry summer and autumn, leading to a Mediterranean-like climate across the UK. Meteorologist Jim Dale of British Weather Services predicts that most regions will see temperatures between 18°C and 21°C in the coming weeks, with the warmest weather likely to hit around October 12th.
Dale says these spikes in temperature are becoming increasingly common due to the effects of climate change. "Going forward, I think we are looking at 18s and 19s and potentially 20 or 21s in Octobers, that type of thing. So a proper Indian Summer," he told the Mirror.
The warm spell is expected to follow the recent Storm Amy, which brought wind speeds of up to 100mph to parts of the UK last weekend. Tragically, a man was killed by a falling tree branch during the storm, highlighting the potential dangers of these extreme weather events.
