The UK could be in for Indian summer-style conditions due to a warm blast from Morocco. Brand new maps have revealed that this country could heat up even at the beginning of November thanks to balmy conditions over on mainland Europe.
Despite it officially being winter time over on the continent, the predictions show that on November 1 that mercury will hit 21C in parts of northern Spain as well as some parts of France – which could result in much milder conditions over in Britain too.
Meanwhile over on the south coast of England we could see highs of 15C which is at odds with usually icy November conditions.
Much of the rest of the UK looks set to be warmer too with temperatures of around 14C even in York, in the north of the country, and 13C around Aberdeen in Scotland.
Weather expert Jim Dale, who is a senior meteorologist and founder of British Weather Services said that we could be in for an “Indian summer.”
He chatted exclusively to Express.co.uk about the potential for Britain to warm up as a result of the hot Spanish conditions.
Mr Dale said: “An unusually warm waft of air out of what will be a very wet Morocco and Spain with likely severe flooding. High pressure here, low pressure there.” He added: “Weird times and weirder times ahead!”
The UK Met Office issues a long range weather forecast which covers from Tuesday, October 29 until Thursday, November 7.
However its forecast predicts quite the opposite over the same period – including snow, frost and fog.
It said: “High pressure will dominate through much of next week, bringing widely settled conditions but probably with a fair amount of low cloud, producing spots of rain or drizzle at times.
“There will also be an increased chance of frost and fog, which may be slow to clear in places. The far north/northwest may experience breezier conditions and some outbreaks of rain at times, and there may be a tendency for this to push a little farther south later in the week, potentially allowing some colder air to filter into parts of Scotland with perhaps some snow over high ground.
“Otherwise, high pressure will tend to dominate for much of the rest of this period across more southern, and perhaps central, areas, with a continuation of drier than average conditions likely.”
