The UK will be treated to some warmer weather in early November as hot air powers its way to Britain.
While Brits are preparing for the colder weather that is on the horizon this winter, November 7 could bring with it the last glimpse of sun.
Weather maps from WX Charts, compiled using Metdesk data, show that temperatures on November 7 could soar as high as 15C.
This is the case for the whole of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, while most of Scotland should also enjoy the warmth.
Only a slim part of Scotland’s northeast will see cooler temperatures.
Meteorologist Jim Dale told the Daily Express that the warm air will make its way from the Western Mediterranean.
He said: “The warm air will arrive between November 7-9 and probably beyond. Air will come from the south under a huge area of high pressure leading to temperatures of between 16C and 18C in the south. Very unusual, very likely climate change linked.”
The Met Office‘s forecast for November 5 to November 14 appears to match up with this, predicting “plenty of dry and settled weather for most” with cloudy weather in parts.
They add that southern areas of the UK will be dry but rain and unsettled weather are more likely to impact Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The second half of November will bring with it more unsettled conditions, the Met Office added.
Wet and windy weather will hit parts of the UK, especially in the south.
By the end of the month, it is now clear whether we will see “unsettled, wetter weather or drier and more settled conditions”, the service said.
The Met Office concluded: “Temperatures will probably be close to average overall, although some colder interludes are possible.”
The service has also hinted that snow could hit the UK in November at the turn of the month and in the northern and eastern regions of the UK.
On the chances on snow, a Met Office spokesperson told the i: “Specifically on snow, we may see some wintry showers over Shetland for a time on Friday (November 1).
“These will be transient and mixed with sleet and rain so nothing significant. The cold pool of air does not move far enough south to bring the chance of snow over the mainland of the UK.
“Of course as we move through November there is the chance of some colder interludes, as indicated in the long-range outlook. This could see snow over the tops of the Scottish mountains as we’d expect at this time of year.”
