Mild at this time of year

UK temperatures are "exceptionally mild" for the time of year, with Scotland and Northern Ireland having the warmest November night on record.

The Met Office recorded overnight temperatures of 14.6C[/size] in Kinloss and Prestwick in Scotland, and 14.5C at Magilligan in County Londonderry.

Average UK night-time temperatures at this time of year range between 4-6C.

Meteorologists say the mild weather is the result of a powerful jet stream bringing warm air up from the south.

It's certainly a bonus for millions of people across the UK who are concerned about heating bills, but is it a sign of a permanent shift in weather patterns and how much is climate change playing a part?


Scotland records its warmest November night
  • NI experiences warmest November night on record
  • BBC Weather's Simon King says the unusually high November temperatures are down to the jet stream and, more specifically, to the direction of the wind.

    "A south-west wind is dragging in air from the Tropics, around the Azores and Cape Verde - where it is still warm at this time of year - and that milder air is spreading north to the UK," he explains.
