Huddersfield looks set to enjoy a last burst of summer this weekend.

And it’s all thanks to hurricane Humberto, which hit the Atlantic earlier this month.

Huddersfield weather expert Paul Stevens said: “Humberto’s tropical energy will become absorbed by a deep Atlantic low pressure 800 miles west of Ireland on route to Iceland.

“This Atlantic low with the remnants of Humberto will cross Yorkshire itself but the warm air associated with it will stay.

“It will push temperatures well above normal into the weekend and more especially Sunday and the early part of next week.”

It could hit as high as 20C (70F) which is well above normal.

And it will be a welcome relief after a few weeks of colder weather with rain to start September.

Stevens said Huddersfield and much of Yorkshire will be basking in much warmer weather from this weekend as high pressure is pulled north and develops its own cell on the eastern flank of the old tropical storm system under a ridge of the jet stream.

“What is fascinating is the above- normal temperatures associated with the tropical air of Humberto across Huddersfield this weekend.

“It started its journey towards Yorkshire many weeks ago in what meteorologists call an African ‘tropical wave’.

“This wave left the coast of central Africa travelling west and formed a tropical storm and then Hurricane called Humberto. This system then transversed clockwise the subtropical high pressure belt in the tropical Atlantic thousands of miles to our south west before turning north east to head back towards the UK and Ireland.

“It means we can enjoy our bit of African heat in Yorkshire.”

Today could start with early cloud and light rain but Stevens said we can expect lots of very warm hazy sun to break through by Sunday with temperatures some 6 – 7�c above normal.

These conditions may well last well into next week but then the days and nights will revert back into cooler and foggier conditions as we head into October.

“But for now let’s enjoy this late and last burst of summer,” said Stevens.
