Londoners can expect a return to dry weather tomorrow as forecasters dispelled fears the UK would be hit by remnants of Hurricane Joaquin.

Meteorologist Leon Brown, from The Weather Channel, said high pressure is set to reassert itself across the UK to signal the start of a prolonged spell of drier weather.

But he warned temperatures will dip towards the end of the week.

It comes days after forecasters predicted the remnants of Hurricane Joaquin - the strongest in five years - could hit Britain as it crossed the Atlantic.

Temperatures next week 2 or 3C below normal by day and some chilly nights too

Mr Brown said: "Ex-hurricane Joaquin poses us no threat as we have been saying since Monday.

"It will split apart to our west on Friday as it comes up against the building ridge of high pressure over us with the main energy diverted south to Iberia and later the Mediterranean.

"For the UK we can expect mainly dry weather and a steady drop in temperatures as the easterly flow moves from Russia to eastern Europe and then across Germany to the UK early next week.

"Temperatures next week 2 or 3C below normal by day and some chilly nights too with a few showers moving off the North Sea to eastern England."

This weekend, temperatures across London are expected to reach a high of 15C on Saturday and 14C on Sunday.
