Forecasters said temperatures could rise highest in London, the South East, and Hampshire.<\/p>\n
Speaking about the upcoming heatwave, Deputy Chief Meteorologist for the Met Office, Chris Bulmer said: \u201cAs high pressure becomes established from this weekend, fine and settled conditions will develop and along with this we will see a rise in temperature across most parts of the UK next week.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany places can expect to see maximum temperatures rise to 25C or above for several days, which would bring some locations into the realm of heatwave conditions.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough the highest temperatures are likely to be in the south and east of England, these areas also have higher temperature thresholds for heatwave conditions to be declared.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Bulmer added: \u201cSo, while some areas may just miss out on the actual definition, regardless of thresholds, many areas will enjoy a fine period of weather with plenty of sunshine and temperatures are likely to be the highest for many since June or early July.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Met Office said the jet stream was partly responsible for the arrival of the September heatwave as it continued to move north.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, they added that Hurricane Franklin\u2019s entry into the North Atlantic has amplified the build-up of high pressure.<\/p>\n
While the south of the UK is expected to see high temperatures, there could also be heatwave conditions in other areas too.<\/p>\n
DON’T MISS <\/strong> Grahame Madge, spokesman for the Met Office, said: \u201cWe are entering a period where high pressure will bring settled and fine conditions that will allow \u00adtemperatures to rise.<\/p>\n “We are not in the middle of summer, so there are some autumnal aspects with a bit more cloud.<\/p>\n “In some locations, we may get exceedances. We expect some parts of Britain to achieve heatwave conditions.<\/p>\n “London and the South East will get the hottest temperatures but there will also be heatwave conditions in Bristol, Nottinghamshire, and even Glasgow.”<\/p>\n Although this summer has not seen the 40C peaks of last year\u2019s, according to data it will still go down as the UK\u2019s eight warmest on record.<\/p>\n This has been put down to the scorching conditions seen in June that compensated for poorer weather in July and August.<\/p>\n The average temperature for August was 0.2C warmer than normal.<\/p>\n
