Summer heat is sticking around just a little longer as the UK is set to be hit with an Indian Summer next week.<\/p>\n
The unseasonably warm temperatures will reach as high as 21C, weather maps suggest.<\/p>\n
Such balmy weather presents a last chance for Brits to hit the beach following a week of torrential rain and even floods in parts of the country.<\/p>\n
Warmer conditions are expected to particularly hit East England, while London, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Hull, and Birmingham are also forecast to see 20C.<\/p>\n
