Ex-hurricane to bring warm weather to the UK this week 3 hours ago The remnants of Hurricane Isaias, which hit the southern US on Saturday, is set to bring a warm spell to the UK this week. Close to record-breaking warm nights are possible, with Monday night temperatures for some parts of England possibly staying as high as 18C, not far off the country's October record of 18.6C (65.4F).
What we know
Daytime temperatures will be above average for the time of year for many parts of the UK. Rain is likely at times across much of the UK, but will still fall below the amount required to help ease drought hit-parts of England. Drought declared in Yorkshire after dry weather Temperatures will peak at 14 to 19 Celsius, slightly above the mid-October average of 12-16C. However, weather fronts tied in with the southerly winds mean that most areas will be cloudy with occasional spells of rain or drizzle. Sunshine will be fairly limited with areas around north-east Scotland, east Wales, the West Midlands and the north coast of Northern Ireland most favoured for some sunny breaks. A warm night will follow with temperatures only dropping a few degrees, but heavier bursts of rain are expected to develop through the night. Overnight rain will then sweep across the UK through Tuesday morning. In the sunnier weather that follows, temperatures are likely to hit the low 20s in southern and eastern counties of England, with 23C possible in parts of East Anglia. Cloud and strengthening winds will move into north-western parts during the afternoon, all linked to an area of low pressure passing between the UK and Iceland. which contains some of the remnants of ex-Hurricane Isaias.
