Parts of Britain are likely to witness “unusual” soaring temperatures in November as a weather expert suggests “records may be broken” this year.
Latest weather maps have turned red indicating the possibility of a three-day plume from November 6 to 8. As per the maps from WXCharts, the temperature levels may rise to 17C during this period bringing some dry and settled conditions.
Areas such as Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and Wick may also stay warm as the latest weather maps show warmer air covering most parts of the country.
Jim Dale, a weather expert from British Weather Services told Express.co.uk: “Most places in the UK will not see any rain from today till mid-November. North west of Scotland might see some showers but that would be just the fringes of the country. South and east would see zero mm in the 14 days.
“When you get high pressure at this time of the year, you might expect you are going to get frosts with it. But, this time we are not going to get it.
“In fact, temperatures by the day and by night are likely to be 5-9C above the average in several places. Lack of frost is the second unusual thing for the UK.
“In previous years, we have seen overnight frosts in November but this year it’s not going to happen, even in Scotland. It is frost-free and this is highly unusual.”
Talking about the reasons why the cold weather and bitter frosts will remain at bay, Mr Dale added: “Daytime temperatures are going to be mild. The reason behind this is the major jet stream is well to the north of the UK, so all the cold weather stays there. It’s not coming out of the Scandinavia and feeding off the Atlantic.”
To sum up November he said the UK will get “well above temperatures by day” with dry weather and no rainfall for the first 15 days at least, he predicted.
“I would say that it’s probably near on record-breaking,” he added. “Since it is only half of November and we can’t look at the second half probably, I think it records may be broken in the coming weeks.”
As per the latest weather maps which are available till November 14, there are rarely any chances of cold weather conditions in the first 15 days of November. Temperature levels are likely to oscillate within the double digits, maps show.
The Met Office’s long-range forecast for November 3 and 12 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 through to the middle of November. 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. Any more unsettled conditions and periods of rain are more likely to affect areas further north, particularly the far north and northwest of Scotland.
“Winds will likely be light in the south, but there could be some spells of strong winds across the north. Temperatures will probably be close to normal overall, although some cold nights are possible at times.”
