The UK could have one final blast of warm weather according to new weather maps. Forecasts show that Brits might need to backtrack on getting out their coats, hats and gloves as milder temperatures hit southern regions this weekend.

Saturday could see highs of 13C in London and the southeast, with temperatures averaging in the double digits across almost all of the UK, a happy change from the freezing lows that saw snowfall wreck travel plans just last week.

The mercury is also set to rise in parts of Scotland at the end of the month, with Aberdeen and Inverness set for 12C and scattered showers, as an Iberian plume moves across the country.

Iberian plumes are weather patterns that see warm air move from the Iberian Peninsula to Europe. As well as warmer air from Spain and Portugal, it is also set to bring increased thunderstorm risk and tends to predominantly impact southern parts of the UK.

“There’ll be a classic autumn pattern of seesawing temperatures in the coming days across the UK”, says Channel 4 weather presenter Liam Dutton.

“After a chilly few days, it’s set to turn very mild from the west during Friday and Saturday. Daytime temperatures this weekend will be 10C to 15C.”

Temperatures on Saturday, November 30, are set to hover slightly above 10C, according to WXCharts, with the warmest temperatures in southeast England early on the last day of the month.

The Met Office has forecast a mild weekend, though also warned of some rain and wind in northern and western regions.

The forecaster also predicts above average temperatures at the beginning of December, thanks to high pressure moving in from the west.

A warmer spell of weather will be welcomed by those across the country impacted by Storm Conall in recent days after the UK was also battered by Storm Bert over the weekend.

Storm Bert left hundreds of homes flooded and saw winds of up to 80mph. Storm Conall, which is continuing to impact regions, with train cancellations and weather warnings still in place, is the third of the season.

Those living in parts of the south east including Hampshire have been urged to keep flood protection measures in place until Thursday after water levels reached nearly 40mm today.

Met Office long-range forecast – December 2 to December 11

On Monday, low pressure will continue to bring rain and showers for many, wintry across northern Scotland, and fairly windy at first in the east. However any wet and windy weather will ease as a ridge of high pressure moves in from the west overnight Monday and into Tuesday. This will bring drier and more settled weather for all, but also a risk of fog for some on Tuesday morning which could be slow to clear. Low pressure systems are then expected to resume moving in from the Atlantic from Wednesday, tracking close to, or across northern and western parts of the UK, perhaps resulting in more wet and windy weather here. Southern and eastern areas drier, but still could see rain at times. Temperatures for most places above averag
