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

The UK is experiencing a notably mild start to November, with temperatures well above the seasonal average. However, the latest 10-day forecast from the Met Office indicates that this warm and calm period will soon give way to more unsettled and changeable weather as the new working week begins.

Weather Pattern and Jet Stream Influence

The current conditions are driven by a highly wavy jet stream over the Atlantic, causing a series of dips and troughs. One of these troughs extends down towards Iberia and is expected to deepen over the next few days, keeping low pressure anchored to the south and moving it closer to the UK by the weekend.

As the weekend progresses, another jet stream dip will form a broader trough over the Atlantic. This fluctuating jet stream causes slow-moving weather patterns, resulting in a weather battle between low pressure to the west and high pressure to the east of the UK next week.

Unseasonably Mild Temperatures

One of the most striking aspects of the current spell is the unusually mild temperatures. Thursday’s highs are expected to reach the mid to high teens Celsius, with some areas hitting 15 to 17°C—about six or seven degrees above the typical average for November.

Summary

This week’s warm November conditions are set to shift towards more unsettled weather due to an active Atlantic jet stream, with temperatures unusually high for this time of year.
