In the midst of these low temperatures and first hints about the approaching autumn, Met Office reveals an unexpected surprise in its weather prognosis. Despite the cold opening, however there is a second ‘mini-heatwave’ waiting for Britain in the October.
Autumn Chill Yields to the Unanticipated Warmth
Temperatures dropped to approximately 0C in the Scottish part of the weekend under sleety showers and a coolness felt across the northern England. But the cold outbreak is not expected to persist during the entire month.
This, however does not imply a cold snap for a long time. The Met Office forecast a second ‘mini-heatwave’ for the week ahead, with temperatures rising up to high in 20C.
London and the South: Hotspots for Late October Warmth
BBC Weather predicts that the temperature will rise to 19C in London on Thursday, and there is a chance of entering into a 20 C gradient zone. Friday will likely preserve these temperatures before a slight fall to approximately 15C over the upcoming weekend.
However, this late jolt of heat does not technically result in a local summer but it can nonetheless be described as warmer than the season expects.
Met Office Insights: Weather Patterns of the Future
The Met Office long-range forecast suggests that a very fine and dry interlude will soon be awaiting the UK, due to high pressure over southern England. This offers a break from the freezing Arctic temperature and also prepares for an anomalous heat.
Yet, as October departs and November arrives, the weather is forecasted to return back to normal autumn temperature. This scenario is detailed by the forecast, which shows that Britain has to withstand a low pressure from either the west or southwest and high pressure over Scandinavia.
November Outlook: It is a combination of many rainy spells and above-average temperatures.
The Met Office calls such a situation the frontline, where western regions will see more rain compared to the dry east. However, temperatures are predicted to remain above the normal because of a predominantly southerly flow; nor shall colder spells be totally eliminated.
In other words, although the unforeseen warmth in October is a very pleasant exception, Brits should prepare for alot more traditional autumnal weather as November goes by.
