The Met Office has delivered its verdict on reports that the UK is bracing for temperatures to spike in an Indian summer.
WXCharts has suggested mercury could go as high as 30C on September 8 as a high pressure system from mainland Europe sends temperatures surging.
Temperatures could also soar across parts of the North of England, with the North West reaching mid-20s.
Meanwhile, Wales and South West England is unlikely to get much higher than 20Cs.
However, the Met Office has now had its say on speculation about warm weather next month.
The UK's national weather service released its forecast for September 3 to September 12.
It said: "Changeable and unsettled weather conditions are expected across the UK during this period with low pressure systems tending to dominate the overall pattern.
"This will mean showers or longer spells of rain will affect the much of the UK at times. Some heavy rain or showers are expected in places, most often in the west.

"Thunderstorms and hail are also possible, as are some spells of strong winds if any deep areas of low pressure form in the vicinity of the UK.
"Some short-lived spells of drier and more settled weather are also possible at times, especially later in the period when they may last a little longer.
"Temperatures will likely be close to average or slightly below overall, but may rise above at times in any drier, sunnier spells."
On its website, the Met Office has also explained the origins of the phrase Indian summer.
Temperatures could increase to more than 25C

It said: "There is a complicated and unclear history of the exact origins of the phrase and like many other organisations, we choose not to use the expression.
"The original source of the phrase is uncertain, several writers have speculated it may originally have referred to a spell of warm, hazy autumn conditions that enabled Indigenous Americans to continue hunting.
"Whatever the origin of the phrase, it evidently first was used in the eastern United States. The first recorded use of the phrase appears in a letter written by a Frenchman called John de Crevecoeur dated January 17, 1778.
"In his description of the Mohawk country he writes "Sometimes the rain is followed by an interval of calm and warm which is called the Indian summer."
Several parts of the UK were recently covered by yellow weather warnings
| MET OFFICE"The term was first used in the UK in the early 19th century and went on to gain widespread usage."
However, the warmest weather recorded in the UK at the high-point of a so-called Indian summer failed to exceed 30C.
The UK recorded 29.9C on October 1, 2011, in Gravesend, Kent.
Meanwhile, November's record was set in Trawsgoed, Ceredigion, at 22.4C.

Warmer weather would also come after the UK faced a number of yellow weather warnings.
Floods brought the hottest summer on record to an abrupt end, with a yellow weather warning for rain being put in place by the Met Office from Thursday evening until midday on Friday.
The forecaster said 10 to 20mm of rain could fall in under an hour in some areas, while prolonged heavy showers near the coast could see 50 to 70mm.
