Hundreds of baffled Brits have flocked to TikTok , with one, @nathan_caselton, asking: ‘Why is it so hot in November?’<\/p>\n

The warm weather have caused much confusion across social media over the last few days.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One early riser, @jaykaylaughs, posted a TikTok explaining his surprise at the balmy conditions in the Ribble Valley.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It’s the 7th of November, it’s 6 o’clock in the morning, and it’s 12\u00b0C,’ he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘This is summer for me. I’m out here in a hoodie and my gilet, and I’m sweating.’<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, @keira.ashley_ questioned why she was still wearing a T\u2013shirt in November.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She said: ‘It is scarily warm for this time of year. I have my window open, I’m in a f***ing T\u2013shirt and it is warm.’<\/p>\n

The mild weather started last month, with the average temperature for October\u00a00.7\u00b0C above the 1991\u20132020 average, according to the Met Office.<\/p>\n

Then, as we moved through to November, a ‘flow of warm air from the south’ swept across the UK.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The warm conditions have caused much confusion across social media over the last few days<\/p>\n

Record-breaking weather in November <\/p>\n

Valley, Gwynedd: 14.1\u00b0C on 6 November, surpassing the previous 13.6\u00b0C from 2022, with 94 years of records.<\/p>\n

Chivenor, Devon: 14.8\u00b0C on 5 November, beating the old record of 14.1\u00b0C from 1996.<\/p>\n

Culdrose, Cornwall: 13.8\u00b0C on 5 November, exceeding the previous 13.6\u00b0C set in 2010.<\/p>\n

Leeming, North Yorkshire: 13.7\u00b0C on 4 November, surpassing 13.6\u00b0C from 2007.<\/p>\n

Scolton Country Park, Dyfed: 13.7\u00b0C on 6 November, breaking the previous 13.2\u00b0C from 2011.<\/p>\n

‘This southerly pattern, combined with cloudy skies, helped trap warmth overnight, leading to unusually high daily minimum temperatures,’ the Met Office explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So far, there have been several ‘standout’ records set in early November.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On 4 November, Leeming, North Yorkshire recorded a minimum temperature of\u00a013.7\u00b0C \u2013 surpassing the previous record of\u00a013.6\u00b0C, set back in 2007.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The following day, Chivenor, Devon, had a minimum of\u00a014.8\u00b0C, while Culdrose, Cornwall’s lowest temperature was a balmy 13.8\u00b0C.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, on 6 November, Valley, Gwynedd, recorded its highest minimum temperature (14.1\u00b0C) in 94 years!<\/p>\n

So, why is it so warm?\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the Met Office, the mild spell has been driven by a combination of factors \u2013 warm air from the south, persistent cloud cover, and a lack of cold continental air.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘The North Sea, only slightly cooler than average, played a role in moderating temperatures, especially in eastern areas,’ the weather monitoring service explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On November 5, temperatures overnight only dropped to 14.4\u00b0C in Teddington, London , provisionally making it the mildest Bonfire Night ever recorded<\/p>\n

\"So <\/p>\n

So far, there have been several ‘standout’ records set in early November. For example, on 4 November, Leeming, North Yorkshire recorded a minimum temperature of 13.7\u00b0C \u2013 surpassing the previous record of 13.6\u00b0C, set back in 2007.<\/p>\n

‘As high pressure builds and winds turn more to the southeast, temperatures are expected to cool, particularly in the east.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘However, the continent is not especially cold at this time of year, so temperatures are likely to return to average levels for November, rather than dropping sharply.’<\/p>\n

Looking ahead , the Met Office models suggest much of the UK can expect a ‘gradual decline in temperatures’ \u2013 especially for Brits leaving in eastern areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘After an exceptionally mild spell, conditions are returning to something closer to normal for the time of year,’ it added.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brits have flocked to social media to discuss the unusually mild weather \u2013 with one claiming ‘it’s a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":561406,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5018,3,4],"tags":[748,92,393,4884,257,1144,261,712,449,16,15,1764],"class_list":{"0":"post-561405","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-britain","8":"category-uk","9":"category-united-kingdom","10":"tag-britain","11":"tag-dailymail","12":"tag-england","13":"tag-great-britain","14":"tag-london","15":"tag-northern-ireland","16":"tag-sciencetech","17":"tag-scotland","18":"tag-tiktok","19":"tag-uk","20":"tag-united-kingdom","21":"tag-wales"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115525509390922874","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=561405"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561405\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/561406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=561405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=561405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=561405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
