And temperatures are set to drop too as frosty winds sweep in, sending the mercury tumbling.

Met Office meteorologist Alex Burkill told The Sun Online: "This week will be chopping and changing with dry, warm periods but there will also be cold temperatures that will dip.

"It will be quite an autumnal week."

He said fresher air was expected to see the mercury dip across southern parts of the UK.

Temperatures will continue to cling to 25C in parts of the UK tomorrow before they slide to a chilly 16C on Wednesday.

Mr Burkill added: "Tomorrow marks the boundary between slightly warmer air and fresher air that will push southwards.

"Thursday is looking mostly dry but with some blustery showers."

He said nights were particularly expected to see a drop in temperatures, with mercury last night already dipping to lows of 8C.

By the end of the week, blustery showers in Scotland will head further south.

The Met Office has predicted "unsettled" conditions in the North and Central England from Tuesday onwards, with "rain in the southeast at first, becoming cooler nationwide".

Next week will "feel warm" in the South East, and is set to be brighter in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Northern England than elsewhere in the UK.

Brits experienced the hottest summer on record this year since records began in 2010.

Elsewhere in the world, Hurricane Florence is expected to hit the US East Coast.

Florence could potentially track more to the north, keeping it east of Bermuda and over the open waters of the central Atlantic next weekend and into the following week before being moved along by an eastward jet stream.

The official hurricane season for the Atlantic Basin (the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico) is from June 1 to November 30.
