Britons may experience a surprise surge of warmth in the upcoming month, as meteorologists anticipate an Indian Summer bringing temperatures of up to 18C in various parts of England.
According to recent weather projections from WXCharts, Bonfire Night on November 5 could resemble late September rather than early winter, especially in East Anglia where the mildest conditions are expected. Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex could see temperatures reach 18C, with cities like Norwich, Chelmsford, Colchester, and Ipswich likely to enjoy the unseasonably warm weather. Coastal areas nearby may also experience temperatures ranging between 15C and 17C.
Moving inland, regions such as Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Kent, and London are forecasted to reach 17C, while central and eastern England should remain warmer compared to the western regions. Temperatures in Cornwall and Devon are expected to range from 13C to 15C. The Midlands, Yorkshire, and most parts of the north-east are likely to stay in the mid-teens, with slightly cooler temperatures in the northwest, around 14C in Merseyside and Lancashire, dropping to about 10C in Cumbria.
The Met Office’s extended weather outlook from October 30 to November 8 indicates that temperatures are expected to be “normal or slightly above average for this time of the year.” The forecast mentions an unsettled start to the period across the UK, with low pressure systems bringing rain, potentially heavy and prolonged in some areas, along with strong winds. Western regions are likely to receive the highest rainfall amounts.
Looking ahead into November, the weather is predicted to be dominated by low pressure systems, leading to changeable and occasionally unsettled conditions with chances of heavy rain and strong winds in certain areas. However, there may be periods of drier and brighter weather in between these systems. Temperatures are anticipated to remain around normal or slightly above average for the season.
