A mini “heat bomb” is expected to boost temperatures well above normal for this time of year across swathes of the country, with temperatures more like late spring than winter
Brits are set to experience an unseasonable wave of warm weather in early November, forecasters have said.
A mini “heat bomb” is expected to boost temperatures well above normal for this time of year across swathes of the country, according to new weather maps.
The north of England could see most of the benefits of this warm spell, with temperatures well above seasonal norms, reaching as high as 17C in some areas.
A large area of Europe is forecast to swelter under the warm patch, with much of England covered and parts of Scotland enjoying the heat.
Projected maximum temperatures for the UK range from 12C to 17C on November 7 according to one weather map, the Express reports.
These warm zones represent temperature anomalies, forecasters have said, with the mercury set to get as much as 6-8C above the typical averages for early November.
An influx of air from the south is set to drive the unusual warm spell, with temperatures in parts of northern England feeling more like late spring than the start of winter.
However while a break from the chill is welcome meteorologists caution these temperatures reflect a growing trend of unseasonal weather events.
Meanwhile the Met Office long-range forecast for the period between November 3 and November 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.”
