The UK is set to bask in unusual October warmth, according to the latest BBC weather forecast. Temperatures will sky-rocket by nearly 10C across the country between Friday and Tuesday. BBC meteorologist Matt Taylor said that temperatures will jump from 9C to 18C in Elgin, and London will see temperatures rise to 21C.
Mr Taylor told BBC Breakfast viewers that areas of the UK will start today “below freezing” before things turn milder.
He explained: “It is a chilly start for some in Scotland and northern England, where temperatures are below freezing.
“But it begins to turn milder from today across the country, with most places dry.
“Temperatures across the country on Friday ranged from 9C in Elgin to 15C in London – which is close to the average for mid-October.”
