Unseasonably warm weather forecast this weekend following Storm Conall
The Met Office has warned of ‘topsy turvy’ temperatures this weekend and into early next week.
The Met Office has predicted unseasonably warm weather this weekend after recent days saw the third storm of the season, Storm Conall, bring heavy rain and flooding.
The forecaster has warned of “topsy turvy” temperatures this weekend and into early next week.
Tom Morgan, a meteorologist for the Met Office, said: “We’re going to see temperatures, five, six, seven degrees above average for late November, early December as we go through this weekend, but it will turn colder early next week.”
It’s just a brief mild spell
Mr Morgan added that meteorological winter, which starts on December 1, will not feel like winter at all.
He said: “Everywhere will see temperatures of between 12 and 14C.
“From late on Sunday, it will start to turn a little bit colder across Scotland, and then on Monday, that cold air will flood its way south to the remaining parts of the UK.
“I would say there is the potential for disruptive weather towards the middle of the week.”
However, Mr Morgan said it is too early to predict the nature of the disruption.
He added: “Over Saturday and Sunday, temperatures are more typical of April maximum temperatures, but then by Monday and Tuesday, most parts of the UK will see more typical if not below average temperatures once again.
“It’s just a brief mild spell.”
