“UK Basks in Summer’s Final Days Before Weekend Deluge”

The UK is currently experiencing what the Met Office describes as "summer's last hurrah," with warm temperatures expected to give way to heavy rainfall this weekend. On Wednesday, temperatures soared to 25.5C in Inverness, which is a remarkable 14C above the average for this time of year. The pleasant weather is set to continue into Thursday, following a cloudy morning, with London expected to reach highs of 26C. However, the Met Office has indicated that a "gentle decline" in temperatures is on the horizon, signaling a shift towards more typical autumn weather.
