"There's certainly high indications at the moment that we're going to see high pressure build which could bring some more settled dry, sunny weather for parts of the country."
In short, the UK could reacher higher temperatures than Mexico City at some points this week and next week, which isn't the expectation even for this time of year. However, the city - including Northern Texas - is facing tropical storm warnings at the moment.

Meanwhile, over at Sky News the weather team have said more settled conditions are expected for the bank holiday weekend with temperatures becoming warm or possibly very warm in the South East, while not reaching conditions to rival the recent heatwave.
The broadcaster's weather presenter Jo Edwards said: "That is certainly what the data is showing at the moment.
"The next few days will be unsettled. Temperatures will be close to normal in the North but warm and humid in the South.
"High pressure begins to build in on Thursday with the promise of more settled conditions for the bank holiday weekend. However, complications aloft means showers/rain can't be ruled out - and would be most likely in the South and North West.

"It does look as though it'll become warm or possibly very warm in the South East but not the sort of conditions to rival the recent heatwave."
The Met Office said there was likely to be a northwest-southeast split in the weather, with cooler conditions probable in the northwest of the UK.
Its long range forecast for the period covering the bank holiday weekend, from Thursday 25 August to Saturday 3 September, said: "After an unsettled week, settled conditions are expected to spread over the UK during this period, bringing fine and dry weather to most places.
"Stronger winds and some showers are likely in the North and North West, and further thundery showers are also possible across the South and South East in the early part of the period.
"A northwest/southeast temperature split may also develop, where cooler air will characterise the North, with the South becoming very warm and perhaps feeling humid.
"By the end of this period fine and dry weather is likely to prevail for many, albeit with the odd shower again in the South and North West. Light winds are likely with plenty of sunshine, and temperatures generally warm or locally very warm in the South."
The return of dry weather will do nothing to relieve the impending water restrictions, with Thames Water and Yorkshire Water both due to implement hosepipe bans this week.
