00:00The UK is experiencing an Indian summer.
00:0322.5 degrees Celsius was recorded yesterday
00:07and this is a typical temperature value that we could experience in August.
00:11Well, what is an Indian summer?
00:13Well, by definition, an Indian summer is when warm weather returns
00:17after we've had our first widespread frost in mid to late October or November.
00:23If these conditions occur, then we're having an Indian summer
00:26and it's exactly what we're having right now.
00:29Now, despite what the name suggests, the origins of this don't come from the country of India
00:35but rather from the Native American Indians
00:38who used to write about cold weather arriving in mid-autumn
00:41and then a warm spell arriving again seemingly out of nowhere.
00:46This would then provide them the perfect conditions to go out hunting again.
00:50But the Indian summer we're experiencing right now, well, how long is that set to last?
00:56Well, Thursday and Friday will bring further warm days
01:00but it will turn a bit cooler over the weekend as well as breezier.
