Met Office 10-day trend: Mild November continues as unsettled weather approaches

Met Office 10-day Trend: Mild November Continues Before Unsettled Weather

As early November progresses, the UK is experiencing a notably mild spell, with temperatures significantly above the seasonal average. However, the Met Office's latest 10-day outlook indicates that this calm and warmth will soon give way to more unsettled and changeable weather as the new working week begins.

Current Weather Drivers

The weather pattern is influenced by a wavy jet stream across the Atlantic, which has created a series of dips and troughs, including one reaching down toward Iberia. This trough is expected to deepen in the coming days, anchoring low pressure to the south and moving it northward toward the UK by the weekend.

Weekend and Next Week's Forecast

As the weekend unfolds, another dip in the jet stream is forecast, leading to a broad trough over the Atlantic. This fluctuating jet stream will cause slow-moving weather patterns next week, setting up a battle between low pressure systems to the west and high pressure to the east of the UK.

Unseasonably Mild Temperatures

One striking aspect of the current spell is the warmth, with highs on Thursday expected to reach the mid to high teens Celsius—around 15 to 17°C. These temperatures are approximately six to seven degrees above average for this time of year.

Bonfire Night 2025 was record breaking 🎆 Temperatures overnight only dropped to 14°C.

Author's summary: The UK enjoys unusually mild November temperatures this week, but a shift toward unsettled weather is forecast as low pressure systems move in from the Atlantic.
