Your support makes all the difference.The UK will experience “unusually warm” weather at the start of the week as the remnants of tropical Storm Zeta continue to push warm air across the nation.
Despite some overnight wind in southern parts of the UK, Sunday night saw some of the mildest November temperatures on record. Though temperatures are expected to drop throughout Monday and over the next few days.
Wind and rain will also batter parts of the UK through Monday and Tuesday, with cooler, sunnier weather moving in from Wednesday.
Met Office meteorologist Luke Miall told the PA news agency that temperatures were set to reach up to 17C (62.6F) on Sunday night in the south, which would break the record for the highest daily minimum temperature recorded in November since 1862. The record was set in Eastbourne in November 2005.
Mr Miall said: "Temperatures in the south will rise overnight instead of fall, which is unusual because we have got warm air coming across.
"It's due to ex-Tropical Storm Zeta which caused some very wet and windy weather this week.
"Some of that tropical air is still within the system - it's travelled a long way across the Atlantic over cool waters before reaching the UK."
Mr Miall predicted "sunshine and showers" for much of the nation over Monday and Tuesday, with temperatures in the mid-teens.
Yellow weather warnings for rain are also in place in northwest England and the west coast of Wales down to Cardiff. The adverse conditions are expected to cause some power cuts and disruption to travel.
