Forecasters have predicted an early November scorcher for Brits as a mini “heat bomb” sends temperatures soaring well above average for this season. According to new weather charts, the Northern regions might be basking in balmy highs of 17C, way beyond the usual seasonal chill.
The sizzler isn’t just limited to England, with parts of Scotland also set to enjoy the unexpected warmth. The UK’s temperature gauge could hit between 12C and 17C come November 7, with the Express highlighting these ‘hot spots’.

These unusual predictions mark temperature anomalies, with forecasters flagging a whopping 6-8C jump above what is usually expected in early November. Meteorologists attribute this surprising turn to a stream of southern air converting parts of northern England into a semblance of late spring rather than the approach of winter.

Although this warm interlude might offer some relief from brisk autumnal conditions, experts suggest it’s part of an increasingly evident pattern of unpredictable weather phenomena.
The Met Office’s long-range outlook from November 3 to November 12 says: “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.”, reports the Mirror.
The Met Office has said: “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.”
They’ve also warned of the possibility of strong winds in places, noting: “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.”
