Warmer weather is on the horizon according to the Met Office - but don't expect it to be as hot as earlier this month. The start of next month will see unseasonably warm weather for October.

Weather experts have warned that it will not be 'extreme heat' we felt at the start of this month but, according to BirminghamLive, people can expect to feel "above average" temperatures.

"With southerly winds coming up from Europe, that'll generally bring a slightly warmer direction of air for us and would then allow those temperatures to climb a touch more," said Jonathan Vautrey, meteorologist with Met Office. "Obviously, it will be dependent on exactly what weather is currently across Europe at that stage as well because that's what we'll be tapping into.

"We may not see necessarily the same extreme heat building as this month but it will allow the temperatures to rise above average from the time of year. At this stage, already the real indication is that they'll be slightly increased and above average for certain during that warm spell, so that might allow us to push 20C, or 20C plus in some locations."

But the weather could not feel any more different right now in Coventry and Warwickshire as we are being hit by blustery, cooler weather. The latest local Met Office forecast for our region shows that this whole week is going to be dominated by 'changeable' unsettled weather.
