Despite the time of the year, Brits in some areas of the country will enjoy a toasty start to next month.
As we head towards November, the mercury surprisngly isn’t set to drop. In fact, one weather forecaster is predicting the temperature to push towards 20C in just under a week’s time.
According to Netweather.com, the south-east of England could see a top temperature of 18C on November 6, with anomaly maps showing this is significantly warmer than average for this time of year.
Meanwhile, whole swathes of southern England and the Midlands will see temperatures a degree or two lower, hovering between 16C and 17C.
Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland won’t enjoy conditions quite as mild, however it won’t be especially cold either.
According to the radar from Netweather, north, south and central Wales will see temperatures around 13C.
The same can be said for Northern Ireland. In Scotland, the Scottish Borders could see the mercury hovering around 14C, while in the Central Belt it’ll be a degree or two lower.
Meanwhile in the Highlands the temperatures are likely to be below 10C. However, other forecasters have predicted some colder night at the start of next month.
The Met Office long-range forecast for the period between November 5 and November 14 reads: “High pressure is likely to dominate the weather across many parts of the UK during this period. This will mean plenty of dry and settled weather for most, although it may be fairly cloudy at times.
“Where skies clear overnight some areas of fog and frost are likely to develop. Southern areas are expected to be mainly dry during this period, while any more unsettled conditions and periods of rain are more likely to affect areas further north, particularly the north and northwest of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
“Winds will likely be light in the south, but there could be some spells of strong winds across the north and west. Temperatures will probably be close to normal overall, although some cold nights are possible at times.”
Today:
Fog patches slowly clearing to leave a mostly dry, though rather cloudy day for many. Some bright intervals, especially in the northeast. However, rather windy in the north, and some rain at times across the north and west of Scotland.
Tonight:
It will remain rather windy in the north with rain affecting northern and western Scotland, this turning locally heavy. Lighter winds elsewhere, though rather cloudy with patchy fog and drizzle.
Friday:
Rain moving south across Scotland and easing, with brighter, colder weather arriving in the north. Remaining rather cloudy, though mostly dry and mild elsewhere, with a few brighter breaks.
Outlook for Saturday to Monday:
Continuing with a lot of dry, though often cloudy weather. Patches of drizzle and some fog. A few bright or sunny spells, particularly in the northeast at first. Sometimes breezy.
