Maybe because of the conventional "autumn = 1 sep" belief, they think its autumn already, and they believe "indian summer = summer-ish warm weather occurred during autumn period (which is 1/9-30/11 as they believe)" and "summer-ish" = netweather folks idea of warmth/heat (high of 20C+, or even 18C?)
Perhaps, but it's idiotic. It is a pretty average early/mid September day here and it's being called an 'Indian summer' The commentator is pretty old as well, surely he has experienced enough Septembers to realise that this is normal

Temperature in London is 21C and it's mostly sunny, commentator says it's 'Indian summer like weather'
Not only is this pretty average for the date, but 'Indian summer' at least in this country, refers to this type of weather in October/November or after a first real cool/cold spell..

Well you can't classify September like that, the first few weeks are basically summer but by the end there is a notable decline in sun strength and temperature. I don't agree with averaging it out.

I was watching a match a few weeks ago where the commentator said something akin to "oh, well this is the sort of heat you'd expect to find in the Caribbean, not in Leicester." Then the temperature came up and it read 24, lol.
But again it's all relative and just a matter of what a given person is used to.
