likely that this year will see a continuation of the post-2007 sea ice conditions, whereby every year since 2007 (inclusive) has recorded a September extent lower than every year before 2007. Each year, scientific centres around the world submit predictions of September Arctic sea ice extent

The forecast for Sunday indicates that the southeast will experience a largely settled day with bright intervals, which are expected to be prolonged in the far south and southeast. Any fog or low cloud in these areas is expected to clear quickly, resulting in a fine day with light to moderate winds

and sunny, with light to moderate easterly winds and high UV levels. Maximum temperatures will reach 17°C and 18°C respectively, but clear skies overnight will cause temperatures to plummet, potentially as low as -1°C, raising the risk of frost. Participants camping out will need to be well-prepared

frost in rural areas. Outlook for Sunday Sunday looks more settled overall. Most areas will remain dry with a mix of cloud and sunny intervals. A few light showers may develop in northern and eastern regions, but these will be isolated. Temperatures will be near average in the south and west, while

Cold air either from Northern Europe, as at present, or from Canada later on, will cover the UK this week, bringing low temperatures. With the low temperatures, further snow is likely in places, the next batch as a front moves eastwards, bumping into the cold air and leading to some mostly light
